A number of old friends in opposition and Brandywell Boy can overcome a poor draw to beat Maysarah and Dvinsky. The selection seems to love racing around Kempton Park and was fully deserving of his victory at the track last month. He was not disgraced at Lingfield and looks more than capable of returning back to winning ways. Maysarah is drawn wide. This may help matters as she seems to like finding trouble in her races. Dvinsky hasn't won for a while but that shouldn't put you off him as he has gone well in the past at this course and Tom McLaughlin will try to the work the oracle tonight. Mr Cellophane looks plenty exposed these days while Mafaheem has to bounce back from a below par effort at Wolverhampton. Lord Of The Reins hails from a yard that have enjoyed particular success with their sprinters of late and is one to note in the market. Brandywell Boy can bounce back to his best at his favoured circuit.
