Verdict
Having recorded a brace of victories over C&D this month, Down To The Kid must enter calculations given his rejuvenation over the past year. However, a 4lb penalty and rise in class does demand another career-best performance from the veteran, with TALIS EVOLVERE slightly more compelling. Richard Hannon's inmate supplemented a triumph at this venue with a good second at Newcastle a fortnight ago and this ease in class may prove just the trick. Doctor Khan Junior and Legal Reform are others of interest.
Expert View Verdict
It's hard to knock the claims of DOWN TO THE KID in his current mood, really benefiting from the drop to 7f to win his last two over the C&D. He's a strong-traveller, often best at the end of his races, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent a hat-trick. At bigger odds Willem Twee could have a say, back up in trip and dropping in grade. He needed his reappearance and has been given a chance by the handicapper, being 10lb below his last win mark. Doctor Khan Junior is of some interest also, being just 1lb above his last win mark and back to form when third at Kempton latest.
