        Verdict

        Hartshead is in top form at present and is difficult to get away from, however Tranquil Sky is well treated on his best form and is taken to beat Sea Storm and Stoic Leader. Neville Callaghan's filly may have needed her last run at Kempton after a two month break and under the circumstances did well to finish just five lengths behind the winner Mystical Girl. She has been steadily dropping down the weights and could be set to pounce. Sea Storm is saddled with top-weight, but ran a blinder to finish a close second to Azreme at Ayr last time, and must be in the shake up again today.Stoic Leader had no chance at the weights in a classified contest at Hamilton but will be much more at home in this company and should also figure in the finish. Hartshead has won four of his last five races and is still progressing, he could still be just ahead of the handicapper, however Tranquil Sky could be primed for victory and is given the vote.
