Zefferino^t⁷^{(ex 5)}

Age: 5| Weight: 9-8| J: George Wood| T: M R Bosley| OR: 61| CD

3/1

Has returned to form with a bang winning two of his last three, including over this C&D latest. Up 6lb but still well weighted on old form and a leading contender.

Form: 463131

(8)

My Amigo^p⁷

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: P J McDonald| T: Mrs Marjorie Fife| OR: 65| BF

3/1

Infrequent winner despite reduced mark nowadays. Still has run with credit on his last three starts and not far away from Zefferino latest over this C&D. Could be involved again.

Form: 000243

Midas Girl⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: H Crouch| T: E Walker| OR: 65

20/1

Poor effort two starts back but her other four runs have been to a very similar level of form. That though would need plenty of improvement on off this current mark.

Form: 62399

Miss Icon³¹

Age: 5| Weight: 9-3| J: Liam Keniry| T: P R Chamings| OR: 61

16/1

Proving a consistent mare at 7f and she's been hitting the line as though a first try at a mile may suit. Remains well handicapped and quite capable of going close.

Form: 912224

Seraphim^t⁷⁸

Age: 3| Weight: 9-2| J: Andrea Atzeni| T: M Botti| OR: 63WS

6/1

Seven-race maiden's best two runs came over 7f here so a return to this track following wind surgery is a positive. Question remains though as to whether she wants this far.

Form: 632374

Subliminal^b⁵⁴

Age: 4| Weight: 9-1| J: Jim Crowley| T: S Dow| OR: 59

10/1

Has totally lost his way in failing to beat a single rival home in three starts since a break and a gelding operation. Hard to fancy at present.

Form: 427907

(6)

French Twist^p¹⁴

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Thomas Greatrex⁽⁵⁾| T: D Loughnane| OR: 62| BF

10/1

Handles the fibresand so her latest Southwell run was disappointing. The step back up a furlong is a plus and she was previously consistent, so can't be ruled out down in class.

Form: 486135

(3)

Aubretia^b¹⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Tom Marquand| T: R Hannon| OR: 62

8/1

11-race maiden has been tried at a variety of trips but perhaps the figures suggest this is the best. She isn't progressing though and others preferred.

Form: 560643

(15)

Adashelby²⁹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: Laura Pearson⁽⁷⁾| T: J Ryan| OR: 62

33/1

Mixed form in three starts so far with the best effort coming over this C&D. This opening mark on handicap debut though leaves her with a lot of work to do.

Form: 967

(14)

Arabian King⁷⁰

Age: 3| Weight: 9-1| J: G Mosse| T: D R C Elsworth| OR: 62

14/1

Ran with great promise on sole juvenile start but returned from a lengthy absence with three poor runs. Needs huge progress off this current mark.

Form: 6-066

(4)

Brains²⁹²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-12| J: Nicola Currie| T: J A Osborne| OR: 59| D

14/1

Blinkers removed after they were added on handicap debut to land a considerable gamble over this trip at Kempton. Showed a willing attitude and won in a good time but unseen since January. Market support would be informative.

Form: 790-1

(1)

J'ouvert^h²⁶

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: B A Curtis| T: P D Evans| OR: 58

16/1

Six-race maiden has run well at this track previously but proving hard to predict to date. Latest run was very poor and hard to be confident in.

Form: 529630

(16)

Gennaro^b1,h⁷

Age: 3| Weight: 8-11| J: Gabriele Malune⁽³⁾| T: I Furtado| OR: 58

25/1

Nine-race maiden has been very poor in his last five starts. Headgear changed once again and easy to look elsewhere.

Form: 278780

Forecasts

Zefferino (3/1), My Amigo (3/1), Seraphim (6/1), Aubretia (8/1), Subliminal (10/1), French Twist (10/1), Savitar (10/1), Dashing Poet (12/1), Arabian King (14/1), Brains (14/1), J'ouvert (16/1), Miss Icon (16/1), Midas Girl (20/1), Altar Boy (20/1), Gennaro (25/1), Adashelby (33/1)

ZEFFERINO remains well handicapped despite winning two of his last three and is hard to get away from. There's a fair bit of competition though and Dashing Poet should be kept an eye on in more suitable conditions. The consistent Miss Icon may be the main danger and perhaps this extra trip will help her find extra. Savitar is also reliable while Brains is very much one to note in the betting.
