Verdict

KITAAB caught the eye a bit when fourth over 5f at Southwell earlier in the month and is given a chance to build on that promise with the return to 6f looking ideal. Dandy Magic is another who may benefit from the return to 6f and is second choice ahead of Novak and the selection's stablemate The Green Man.
