        Verdict

        Charles Kingsley will likely improve now handicapping for the first time but will need to given he was still beaten six lengths when runner-up at Wolverhampton. RARE GROOVE is preferred as he was beaten a length off a similar mark at Leicester on his return to action and won on a previous visit here in August. Jabbaar can figure dropping back down in trip and is preferred to stablemate Shrewd, who missed the whole of last year, while Framley Garth may prove best of the rest with last month’s outing under his belt having won three times last season.
