Moderate stuff and in a race that makes limited appeal, CLAPHANDS is the call over Imaginary Diva and Anacaona. Claphands put up a fair effort last time out after being the subject of support and were she to be in a similar mood on this occasion, she would make obvious appeal in a race lacking quality. Imaginary Diva is plating class. The hope is that headgear can persuade her into victory. Anacaona drops back to the minimum trip having campaigned over six furlongs. Kayceebee was a beaten favourite in a similar event earlier in the month but did not enjoy the clearest of runs. Rainbow Seeker makes a handicap debut. Imperial Skylight and Drachenfels hail from quality yards though were both on the end of substantial drubbings last time out. Tillers Satisfied is sure to have supporters following her success at Wolverhampton. A draw of one is hardly helpful at Kempton tonight. Claphands gets the tentative nod.
