Race preview
Kinondo Kwetu hasn't looked back since going chasing in July, with five wins which have seen his mark go up 30lb in the process. He does, however, face his stiffest task to date off level weights now entering Grade 2 company and he may struggle to contain BOLD ENDEAVOUR, who is rated 8lb his superior. The Nicky Henderson charge has impressed in two wins since making his debut for the yard in December and he should take all the beating if seeing out the trip. Last-time-out winner Jay Jay Reilly completes the shortlist.
