Lots with chances but Hughie Morrison's unexposed KENNINGTON steps into handicaps on the back of a striking Lingfield novice success so gets the vote from Annastarzy, who impressed with her attitude when going in at Goodwood last time and rates a big danger. Huscal, Commander of Life and Best Rate all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
