PRINCE YARRAMAN is our nomination with Admiral Cochrane and Fazza others to consider. Jamie Osborne's colt has performed with promise on his two previous visits to Kempton and while it has been disappointing that he has not been able to get his head infront, this could be an opportune moment to strike. Admiral Cochrane was set to run on Tuesday at Lingfield so is doubtful. If he turns up, he has the form to go close. Fazza is similarly entered for that race and would have obvious claims on the basis of a second to Al Khimiya over course and distance. St Ignatius is set to make a handicap bow having been easy to back in three starts thus far. Until The Man has become much more consistent for the application of cheekpieces. Prince Yarraman has to be the call in a race where plenty have negatives.
