Verdict

KION found the odds-on favourite too good at Wolverhampton recently but won at the same track before that. He’s burdened with a penalty but is still weighted to beat Kodiac Express. The latter ran well over 5f here on her recent comeback and shares the same handicap mark as Precious Silk, who won at Southwell last month. Jungle Room and Jaalboot haven’t raced since last summer but Noteworthy finished closer on a recent reappearance at Lingfield.
