8:17 Kempton Tips

Looks well treated on handicap debut. Ran well last time out and looks up to winning a race of this nature.

Just three career runs for the 3yo filly. She was a decent 4th of 11 in a turf maiden race five weeks ago, the first and second giving the form a nice boost since. Looking like this drop down to 6f will suit her. Handy mark, good low draw, strong jockey booking and an aw debut which could bring about some improvement.

This one was backed from 12/1 to 9/2 overnight but is going back out. I have an interest in this horse but thought that he was tried too highly since his return. I said that I would not back him until he was dropped into Class 5 or 6, and today could be the day. I still cannot nap him until he shows more, but he is worth another chance first time in this grade.

Trainer Jack Channon espoused Concert when finishing fourth on stable debut at Wolverhampton, but really disappointed in coming last next time out. Put a far better run in last time out though.

This ones last run can be ignored, after a slow start he had little chance. That was over seven furlongs. Back over six tonight and with the yard firing again after a bit of a lull he can go close.

Has been very consistent, placing in the last three races, and Rossa Ryan takes over. Should be in the mix at two pounds better than in the last race.

Michael Attwater's 3-year-old gelding has found things tough on his last two outings, most recently finishing well down the field over turf at Windsor a month ago. However, his overall winter and spring all-weather form paints a completely different picture. He loves artificial tracks, having run an agonizingly close second over this exact course and distance in January before shedding his maiden tag at Chelmsford in February. The primary angle in his favor today is a slipping handicap mark. The handicapper has dropped him down 3 lb to an official rating of 72. This brings him directly back to the exact mark of his Chelmsford victory, making him highly dangerous from a handily weighted perspective. With regular pilot Kieren Fox retaining the mount from stall 9, they should look to make use of his natural tactical speed on this standard-to-slow Polytrack surface. Strip away his recent turf run, look at his track-and-trip comfort, and Unionville looks poised to outrun his generous 25/1 outsider odds as a serious each-way threat.
