16:30 Kempton

Four horses come here in winning form and they largely occupy the top of the market. Of those it’s the unexposed DANCE AT NIGHT that I really like to follow up for Andrew Balding. He showed promise on debut before fading out of it. I thought he shaped like a horse still learning his trade when rallying for fourth at Newcastle. He put in a much more professional performance to make the breakthrough over 7f here last month and the way he hit the line that day suggests this step up to a mile for the first time could bring about the best in him. I know the second has let the form down since but she ran too bad to be true at Newcastle so that doesn’t bother me. An opening mark of 75 may well underestimate him and I think he’ll serve it up to these. The hat-trick seeking Lammas looks the danger but a further 5lb rise makes life tougher and he is away from Southwell now.
