SELECTION made a winning handicap debut at Kempton under today’s apprentice on his reappearance - the Haggas' runner can go on to better things this year. Mister Music finished a close-up third at Leicester recently and a 7lb claimer takes over the reins here while Forceful Appeal won a higher grade contest on the all-weather last time and can race off a much lower mark on this surface having failed to score in 18 previous attempts. Bunbury drops in class and can figure but last year’s winner Balmoral Castle is 2lb higher and the returning Cat Silver is less exposed.
