Stepping back up to 6f in what promises to be a strongly-run race could be an ideal scenario for EARLY RELEASE, who was doing his best work at the finish when third off this mark in a 5f Lingfield handicap recently. Massimo Blue did the job well when opening his account at Kempton and he is greatly respected, while Spiritualism bagged a nursery when last seen in October and she is also shortlisted. Horus is worth a second look, too.
