Two free selections to follow on Wednesday as Steve Ryder looks to get the month off to a winning start.
3:50 Wincanton
Walkinthepresent 5/4 (1pt)
Best price 5/4 at the time of publishing.
Harry Junior showed a good attitude to win at Exeter last time but preference goes to WALKINTHEPRESENT (best priced at 5/4) was an impressive winner last time at Taunton. The Neil Mulholland trained six-year-old has shown improved form since the application of cheekpieces and having his stamina tested over longer trips.
The form of his 5 1/2 length victory at Taunton last time has been boosted by the runner-up Lady Caro winning by 4 1/4 lengths on his next start. A 7lb rise could underestimate him and he should prove hard to beat.

7:30 Kempton
Devil’s Peak (1pt)
Best price 4/1 at the time of publishing.
John & Thady Gosden had an impressive winner of the Rosebery Handicap with Gamrai and DEVIL’S PEAK (best priced at 4/1) has a similar profile. He returns from a 151-day break having been gelded and hopefully that operation means he settles better early on in his races.
Devil’s Peak caught the eye on a couple of occasions last season when narrowly beaten at Haydock and Yarmouth before a slightly disappointing effort at Newmarket on his final start. This step up in trip should suit this son of Camelot and he looks well treated off a mark of 77.
