7.30 Kempton Ruscello came on for the run last year but was going the right way when last seen winning off 84, 6lb higher demands a lot more in a race of this kind. Homeric comes from a top yard and was last seen winning a maiden over 1m4f around Wolves on what has come out of that race so far doesn’t look particularly special and a mark of 86 perhaps tad harsh also dropped in trip slightly a concern given he looked a stayer. Tadabeer has started to go the right way for this yard winning his last 2 starts more impressive last time out off a mark of 77, 6lb penalty demands a lot more but could be open to more improvement yet if seeing out this slightly longer trip. I am gonna take a chance on Icebuster gaining compensation for going agonisingly close last time out around here last week over similar trip. Was given a classic Spencer ride and couldn’t quite get there and looks dangerous off this mark again yard have come back in good form it would seem. Atzeni’s only ride of the day and has struck a good relationship riding for this yard with a 19% strike rate and LSP of +38. 1pt win Icebuster 11/2 VC

BBOTD Thursday 11th 7.00 Kempton Flamborough Breeze 0.5pt EW @ 13/2 PaddyPower Net Whizz may well prove very tough to beat here on his first start since November but I am happy to take him on with this horse who has been in sparkling form of late. This horse racked up a hat-trick over CD in comfortable fashion before getting beat when sent off an odds on favourite at Lingfield. Happy to forgive that effort as she has never won at that venue but she returned to form last time out over 10f at this track where she finished a good 2nd behind next time out winner Tadabeer. She was unlucky that day as she came from a poor position and Tadabeer got first run on her. She comes up against some unexposed rivals here but she in brilliant form herself and she goes really well over this CD. Luke Morris takes the ride which is a positive as he is one of the top jockeys at the track. This looks extremely competitive but I fancy Flamborough Breeze to go close.
