Kimberlite Candy was my fancy for last years Covid cancelled National. At 14's, it's not worth looking anywhere else for me. Trainer Tom Lacey has been quoted as saying Kimberlite is in rude health at home, which is handy, because the lack of anything remotely nearing a recent run would usually put me off betting.
Good luck with your bets.
