12.55 Kempton
Royale’s Charter: Jumping problems blighted him of late but
shown a lot of talent and won the last two times he’s stayed up; Going well
when falling before race came to business end at Ascot latest and while he
looks overmatched, should run creditably.
Simonsig: Barring one defeat, dominant novice hurdler of
last year in spectacular campaign that produced wide margin successes at
Cheltenham and Aintree festivals in 2m4f novice hurdles; Empathic winner on
chasing debut for all that he has only one rival (rated 5 stone inferior) from
half way, but it proved that he’d go through the ground and this race (barring
a couple) looks just as easy; Should win well.
Itoldyou: Looks hopelessly outclassed on chasing debut on
evidence of being well beaten in two novice hurdles this season.
Wings Of Smoke: Improved on hurdles form when taking conditionals'
handicap on second chase start at Newbury (2m3f, good to soft) before well held
Sandown third (soft) Trip a concern and doesn’t look upto it anyway.
Hinterland: Decent juvenile hurdler last season (rated 141)
and decisive winner off said mark on return at Chepstow over hurdles but
desperately disappointing on return when pulling far too hard on Exeter (albeit
second to a very useful winner) and feeling that he didn’t beat much into
second in Henry VII Chase at Sandown; Shuld be booked for second if he settles.

VERDICT: SIMONSIG’S chasing debut was a non event and with
heavy ground presumably not a problem based on that virtual Ascot walkover, he
should win easily once again even giving Hinterland 11lbs. A double with him and Sizing Europe is 1.6 on Betfair and looks solid based on their form.
