840 Kempton

Duke Cosimo 3/1 bet365

Fancied this one last time up at Newcastle and he was well backed too. He came through with a winning run but was just outpointed by one of Tim Easterby's late on. He's due to go up 2lbs as a result of that so comes here on a retrieval mission. George Wood is back on board and with a good draw looks handy for a late run up the inside.

The only decent handicap of the day (numbers wise) over jumps and a tricky looking contest. First off my top rated runner is The Captain, he was 8/1 last night and now has shortened to 6's. He's had 3 runs in maiden hurdles over 2 miles, ran quite well last time and now goes up half a mile. Former pointer so will like these brush type hurdles and could find some improvement.
Asking Questions is the favourite but has yet to win over hurdles in 7 attempts, he's been chasing and has to carry 12st. I'm nor sure represents much value. Nicely Indeed is a 12 race maiden and looks to have temperament issues, another one that should be a bit bigger.
Oscar World makes his handicap debut and looks a typical improver, Aidan Coleman rides and this is his second run after a wind op. Black Anthem is interesting now that Sam Twiston-Davies has been booked, he pulls hard and despite that still ran a decent race last time, prior to that he had been running on unsuitable soft/heavy ground.

£8 The Captain 6/1
£6 Black Anthem 6/1
