Didn't need to improve to win 6-runner handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 19 days ago, well positioned. Big shout in hat-trick bid.

7/2 and blinkers on for 1st time in this code, fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, good to soft) 44 days ago. Had badly lost his way in this sphere when last seen. New yard. Work to do.

Forecasts

Solo Saxophone (5/2), Rochester House (10/3), Cleonte (7/2), Cosmelli (9/2), Lucky Deal (5/1), Mister Manduro (50/1)

Verdict

Mark Johnston could hold the key to this, with LUCKY DEAL, an eye-catcher at Kempton, preferred over Rochester House. Solo Saxophone has had a fantastic year and is dangerous to dismiss on his first AW run. Cleonte is a Royal Ascot winner but has looked a shadow of his former self in recent months.

  1. LUCKY DEAL
  2. ROCHESTER HOUSE (IRE)
  3. SOLO SAXOPHONE (IRE)
