I always find that until February / March, especially over a mile plus, the 3 year olds battle against the older horses.

I don't think that the 3yos are battling at all. Had a quick look at the last 6 Kenilworth meetings- 20 handicaps, 10 won by 3yo, and I think that there were more older horses competing, so no evidence that the 3yo are struggling.
