17:30 Soldiers Design

Having gone close at Dundalk four weeks ago, SOLDIERS DESIGN the holds leading claim in this ordinary maiden on her debut for John Ryan. Mutasawi is the biggest danger on form, while Red Troop may take another step forward.

18:00 Silver Trumpet

Lady In Havana should go well again, while Irrelevant is interesting back at this track with Finley Marsh taking over in the saddle and Hearitfortheboys could benefit from the extra furlong. Both Just Rita and SILVER TRUMPET are open to further progress though and the latter could build on the promise of his recent handicap debut.

      18:30 Creative Story

      Very interesting newcomer CREATIVE STORY has impressive credentials, being well bred and from a yard that is operating at 70% with Kempton runners this year. Market confidence would be the icing on the cake. Condor Pasa (narrow second choice) and Suspicion look clear best of the runners with experience.

      19:00 Longlai

      The unexposed Umberto and the in-form course specialist Lady Of Arabia are high on the list but LONGLAI has a good record fresh, including a C&D win on his stable debut last spring, and this could be the time to catch him.

      19:30 Thoughtful Gift

      The strongest contender on current form is THOUGHTFUL GIFT, who could well build on her Lingfield win and defy a 5lb penalty. Kraken Diamond, Portraitist and Kumari Star are possible improvers, in that order of preference, while the much more exposed Rainbow Sign ties in with the selection.

          20:00 Holbache

          McCauley’s Tavern drops in class and will be dangerous if anywhere near his best, while Sir Rodneyredblood and Alafdhal’s peak efforts this winter bring them into the reckoning too. That said, the key race may be the C&D handicap in which Man On A Mission had HOLBACHE back in third ten days ago.

          The former was suited to step up to 6f on that occasion and should go well but it was a welcome return to form from the selection and he might not face so much competition for the lead in today’s field.

          20:30 Tortured Soul

          Improving TORTURED SOUL (nap) has done well for his new stable this winter and is taken to defy another rise in the weights. Devizes, who looks interesting off a reduced mark back up in distance, is second choice. Where’s Tom has also become attractively treated, while Total Lockdown may benefit from the blinkers and Fravanco is also in the mix.
