Verdict

Last year's winner DISTINCTION didn't shape at all badly when finishing midfield in a much stronger affair at Kempton 2 weeks ago and, now operating 8 lb below his last winning mark, he could well be ready to strike returned to class 6 company. Hostelry is 2-4 since partnering with Kaiya Fraser and she's an obvious threat, with Panama City and Dr Rio also of interest. Confidence behind Madame Plaintiff in the betting would also look significant.
