KELDEO opened her account for the campaign at Pontefract in April and has performed with credit all 4 starts since, again finding only one too good at Southwell 10 days ago. She looks a big player again and earns the vote over Herakles, who comes here having bounced back to form himself last time. Water of Leith and Circus Lion are others to consider.
