7/1

Second 6f Kempton win of the year when seeing off 11 rivals 12 days ago. Handles testing ground. Did it quite cosily last time so a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.

3/1

Won this race on heavy ground last year. Seemingly just in need of the outing when fourth of 14 in 7f Thirsk handicap on reappearance, throwing down a challenge before fading. Ought to be spot on now.
