DOUBLE: Spanish Moon and Silent Wonder.

Spanish Moon rarely runs a bad race and is taken to collect his third victory of the campaign in the Listed digibet Floodlit Stakes at Kempton.

The four-year-old got his season off to the perfect start when scoring at this level at Ascot in May, but had to wait until August to get his head in front again.

That Windsor win was sandwiched by two creditable placed efforts in Group company, most recently going down by just a short head to Blue Monday in the Dubai Duty Free Arc Trial at Newbury.

This return to a mile and a half should see him in an even better light and as long as he handles conditions on his first start on an artificial surface, Spanish Moon should prove difficult to beat.

Silent Wonder has shown up well on two previous visits to Nottingham and can make it third-time lucky at Colwick Park in the Pinnacle Racing "Smart Way To Ownership" Maiden Stakes.

The Diktat colt has finished second on four of his five career outings, two of those efforts coming at this venue.

Robert Cowell's charge chased home a smart newcomer in Harry Patch here in October and although beaten as favourite on his next start, he was far from disgraced in chasing home Affluent.

Silent Wonder showed then the likely testing conditions will not inconvenience him and looks sure to give punters a run for their money.

Sullumo has to carry plenty of weight in Chepstow's Protectagroup Ltd Handicap Hurdle, but it may not be enough to stop him completing a hat-trick.

The lightly-raced five-year-old beat a smart sort in Super Nick on his penultimate start at Bangor, with another win four months later showing he is still very much on the upgrade.

Sullumo has to be considered a major player in a race of this nature.

Cosmea fairly bolted up on her hurdling debut at Wincanton and is impossible to oppose in the Simply Carpets Juvenile Fillies Only Novices' Hurdle at Huntingdon.

The three-year-old was decent without setting the world alight on the level, but made an immediate impression in the National Hunt sphere when scoring by seven lengths on her timber bow.

That victory elevated her to prominence in ante-post lists for next year's Triumph Hurdle and she will surely have to win this event if those aspirations are to be fulfilled.
