Kemboy^b,t⁹⁵

Age: 10| Weight: 10-1| J: M A Enright| T: P Neville| OR: 95| C

Forecasts

Neddyvaughan (5/2), Flaviana (11/4), Rocky Court (4/1), Tulpar (4/1), Tisamystery (5/1), My Painter (8/1), Kemboy (10/1), Chief Of Panama (12/1), Vinnie Luck (12/1)

Kemboy will possibly show his usual front-running tactics in the early stages, with Rocky Court and Tulpar in behind. While Neddyvaughan and Flavia will, quite rightly, have their supporters, a chance can be taken with MY PAINTER, who has a significant jockey booking on handicap debut.
