        Verdict

        Safira Menina beat Ride The Lightning when landing an amateurs’ race at Kempton last month while Kirtling has been in good form in lower grade handicaps and won twice at Newcastle recently. Santiburi Spring also won a Class 6 contest at Kempton but Mystikana remains 8lb higher than an earlier success over track and trip. MERCY ME has won twice over 1m2f this year but opened his account over course and distance in 2015 and John Ryan’s charge gets a speculative vote back over this longer trip.
