In depth

Verdict

Kindlelight Debut, Kensington and Holiday Cocktail dominate this race and Kindlelight Debut is nominated to maintain his winning run. Kensington was winning his third race in his last five when scoring over six furlongs here last time and he has winning form over this seven furlong trip. He looks sure to be thereabouts, but this is a competitive affair and he may just have a little too much weight. Holiday Cocktail won at Lingfield over this trip two outings ago and chased home Kindlelight Debut last time. There was a length and a half between the pair on that occasion and although Holiday Cocktail is six pounds better off for a length and a half, Kindlelight Debut is taken to come out on top.
