Verdict

ISSAM really caught the eye when sprinting clear from the last for an easy success at Kempton and Tom Symonds' upwardly-mobile chaser can defy a 7 lb weights hike to gain his biggest prize yet. C&D scorer Twinjets could emerge as the main danger with Blow Your Wad another well in the mix after an excellent Ascot third on his first run for Gary & Josh Moore. Josh The Boss, Vincenzo and Glengouly are others who can have a say in this cracking handicap.
