Verdict
This is far easier than Stoway's British debut and so he gets the vote, with Limited Addition looking to be the main danger. The last-named represents a stable in good form at present and although he disappointed when pulled-up on his chasing debut, he was well-fancied that day and remains very much of interest. New Entic has the most experience over fences, however he doesn't always find a lot when push comes to shove and so is passed over. Bible Lord makes his chasing debut today after just one run over hurdles and should be watched in the market, whilst A Toi A Moi won off 113 over hurdles so has some talent, although he would need to step up significantly on his chase debut to play a part today. Alan King has a profitable record with his runner's here at Kempton and with his stable still in good form, his Stoway looks the solid call. He is getting weight from the rest of the runners and gets our nomination.
