Rebel Diamond sets a reasonable standard in this two-year-old contest with a rating of 85 but he faces an opponent in the shape of LAST ENCORE (best price 9-4) who is likely to provide him with plenty to think about at the very least. 

Unfancied on his debut at Naas two weeks ago, Joseph O’Brien’s inmate defied those odds (40-1) with a highly promising overall performance and although he looks no superstar, he did more than enough to suggest he will pay his way over time. 

In-keeping with how most straight track races have played at the Kildare venue out this season, those positioned towards the nearside rail had a distinct advantage in the latter stages, so considering the son of Acclamation was pinned down over on the far side fence for the entire journey, his effort deserved upgrading. 

Moreover, the time figure of the race hinted it was a decent one of its kind and hailing from a yard who beat Rebel Diamond with a similar type at Leopardstown (And So To Bed), they should have a fair idea of what it takes to lower the colours of the favourite here tonight.

The mares’ beginners chase won by Broomfield Bijou over today’s C&D last month was highlighted by a useful speed figure and having run her best race over fences to finish third, MISS AGUSTA (best price 14-1) is worth a small interest to see whether she can translate the level of form she showed on that occasion into handicap company. 

Admittedly a bit of a hit and miss character, Gordon Elliott’s inmate has, though, on occasions, exhibited a fair level of ability and there’s little doubt her performance in finishing third here last time ranks as one of her best, certainly in recent times. 

Starting out the final circuit with only two behind her, she stayed on well to finish within seven lengths of the all-the-way winner and with her race working out better on the numbers than the ones won by the likes of Freddie Robdal and falcon Park, she looks overpriced compared to that pair at the morning prices.

19:55 Kempton

ALL AGLEAM (NAP) (best price 5-2) produced a display that defied her rating at Lingfield last time out and all roads lead to her replicating that performance at a track where she has gone well in the past. 
Unsettled after being taken on for the early lead at the Surrey venue’s all-weather track previously,

Andrew Balding’s filly this time had the luxury of setting her own agenda on the straight turf course three weeks later and that tranquillity she was afforded resulted in her running right away from her rivals in the closing stages. 

In lowering the colours of well-fancied pair Etoile D’Alexandre and Scarlett Lady, she clocked a very smart time for the grade and providing she breaks cleanly and gets on the lead early again here tonight, she is likely to prove hard to pass.
