8:00 Kempton Tips

Last win came in September at Lingfield by three lengths in a stamina test race against two rivals off a higher mark. Placed twice (2nd) prior to that run after a break, and did the same last time out at Southwell after a 166-day break. This low-mileage runner goes again off the same mark from that race and has a decent low draw.

Course and distance winner who was last seen at Lingfield 6 days ago where finishing a very creditable 3rd/9 in tightly bunched 5 way duel at the finish and was only just denied the win by 0.22 lenghts that was his return run after a 52 day break and is most certainly entitled to strip fitter and be a lot sharper at the finish this time out currently operating on an unchanged mark of 68 S Pearce's inmate looks poised to strike here worth noting he is operating 1lb below his last winning mark here and has also won on marks of 76 and 77 in the past having also performed with credit on higher marks than this jockey Tyler Heard takes the ride and can give this gelded son of Kodiac & Maleha ( Dam's sire Cape Cross ) a promising ride here at Kempton must enter calculations . Respected .

The 4-yo was a good 7f C/D winner last summer and ran well in defeat later in the year, posting good RPR ratings. Attractive mark on his return from a five-month break, good low draw, and trainer Richard Hughes sent out two winners on Monday.
