Kettle Hill²⁸

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: D Tudhope| T: W J Haggas| OR: 85| D

5/6

Windsor maiden winner last summer who looked a very useful prospect when returning from 8 months off to score at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 4 weeks ago. Mark in the 80s could prove lenient.

Form: 51-1

Age: 6| Weight: 8-13| J: Callum Rodriguez| T: K Dalgleish| OR: 80| D

22/1

Healthy strike rate on AW (6-25) but remains winless after 13 attempts on turf. This a bit easier than the Spring Mile he contested last time but others are still preferred.

Forecasts

Kettle Hill (5/6), Dawaaleeb (4/1), Zhui Feng (15/2), Hayadh (18/1), Global Spirit (18/1), Defence Treaty (20/1), Give It Some Teddy (20/1), Motawaafeq (20/1), Home Before Dusk (22/1), Jewel Maker (33/1), Brother McGonagall (50/1)

An opening handicap mark in the mid-80s may underestimate the William Haggas-trained KETTLE HILL who can prove too strong for this much more exposed opposition. Dawaaleeb was bang there for a long way in the Spring Mile and may provide the main threat ahead of Zhui Feng, who has made a positive start for new trainer Tom Ward.
