1.25 Southwell - 2pt win Avonrose 5/1

A strong pace looks likely with 3 potential front runners in the line-up.  This could well set things up for Avonrose, who shaped well on Sunday when outpaced over an inadequate 6 furlongs, but was staying on nicely when meeting interference.  That showed her to be in decent heart and she’s certainly well enough handicapped to win.

5.15 Kempton - 1pt win Tourist 7/2 1pt win April Fool 9/2

April Fool and Tourist look the two to focus on.  April Fool is well handicapped if returning from his break in form, and has the added advantage of having Raul De Silva in the saddle who is decent value for his 5lb claim.  He will have to return in decent form though if he is to be beat Tourist, who had more in hand than the winning margins last time, and has won off much higher marks in the past.

5.45 Kempton - 2pt win Bold Adventure 7/2

Prince Charlemagne is the best handicapped horse in the race, but it would be a very brave man to back a horse from a yard that hasn’t had a flat winner for 5 years!
Bold Adventure is also well handicapped for his inform yard.  The trainers horses aren’t always the easiest to predict, but he has shaped very well on his last 2 starts over inadequate trips and now stepped back up to 2 miles he is strongly fancied to regain the winning thread.
