Verdict

This is a pretty useful handicap but KAINDY still rather stands out as a progressive sort from a leading yard. Fellow 3-y-o Phantom Watch goes off the same mark as when runner-up at Windsor last month and is second choice ahead of Rogue Defence and Empire of Light.

5	Useful sort who got off the mark with something to spare in novice at Kempton (7f) in August and went like the best horse at the weights (conceded first run) when second on 1m Lingfield handicap debut 3 weeks ago. Open to further progress and leading claims tackling turf for first time. 1st Pick 5 Kaindy (Ire) Jockey: Ray Dawson Trainer: Roger Varian J: Ray Dawson T: Roger Varian	100	-	-	-	63%

10	Advanced his form with a breakthrough win in 1m handicap at Newmarket in June and has backed it up with runner-up efforts on 2 of his 3 outings since.
