Despite failing to justify favouritism over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month, Portoro still ran with credit in fourth and is a course winner to keep an eye on. SOUTHBANK had Rumba Bay (fourth) and Pinjarra (fifth) behind when only finding one too good at Lingfield recently and is expected to confirm that form. With a previous C&D victory to his name, the son of Acclamation looks the one to side with.
Prediction : 1st Southbank 2nd Portoro 3rd Pinjarra

Roserunner has improved with each of his three starts, most recently just being touched off on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton, and he is likely to be thereabouts. Ebn Sabt hit the woodwork at the same venue in October prior to being gelded and is another to note, but ANEIRIN'S SWORD gets the nod. Jamie Osborne's charge showed a big chunk of improvement when sharing the spoils to get off the mark at Chelmsford and can go in again.
Prediction : 1st Aneirins Sword 2nd Roserunner 3rd Ebn Sabt

Rising Force recorded his first victory for the Darryll Holland stable at Lingfield last week and has a 5lb penalty, but the quick turnaround is more of a concern. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on MBAPPE, who bounced back to form when reaching the frame over C&D and competes off an unchanged rating. If the five-year-old can back that display up, he could prove hard to beat. Recent surprise track-and-trip scorer Pave The Way completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mbappe 2nd Rising Force 3rd Pave The Way

Charlie Appleby has unleashed some smart individuals in this contest in recent seasons. In fact, he's tasted success in it for the last five years, including both divisions in 2024 and one division with the high-class Opera Ballo 12 months ago. The Newmarket handler sends 750,000gns purchase PALLADAS to post this term and, perhaps unsurprisingly, he makes considerable appeal. Andrew Balding was victorious in the other division last term and his Exmoor warrants a market check, as does Pinatubo colt Stay Salty given that he represents a yard in form.
Prediction : 1st Palladas 2nd Exmoor 3rd Stay Salty

SHOW ME GOLD was always well positioned when beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow. The daughter of Havana Gold showed a willing attitude and can progress to go one place better. Seeing Stars has finished second on each of her three starts so far and is likely to go close once again, as is Flyta, who defied odds of 250/1 to fill the runner-up spot over a mile here.
Prediction : 1st Show Me Gold 2nd Seeing Stars 3rd Flyta

SAVANNAH GREY readily brushed aside three rivals when opening her account in a novice stakes at Chelmsford and, entitled to improve further for the application of a tongue-tie, she could follow up on her handicap debut. Bee My Honey has struck the crossbar in each of her three starts to date and is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Exposay has a chance on the form of her close-up third over C&D nine days ago.
Prediction : 1st Savannah Grey 2nd Bee My Honey 3rd Exposay

20:30 Kempton

Paradias won this contest 12 months ago and must enter calculations off only 1lb higher, but KING'S CODE is fancied to give weight and a beating to his rivals. He was an impressive winner of a similarly competitive handicap over 1m2f at Newcastle recently and a 6lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Beylerbeyi would have finished closer in the aforementioned Newcastle event but for trouble in running so he's not to be dismissed off an unchanged mark.
Prediction : 1st Kings Code 2nd Paradias 3rd Beylerbeyi
