      Verdict

      WOTASHIRTFULL hold Sherjawy after their last meeting so we give Jim Boyle's runner the chance to gain revenge in a decent little handicap while Lord Of The Reins looks best of the rest. That last meeting between the leading pair came over this trip at Lingfield and the come from behind nature of Sherjawy's performances are ideally suited to that track. Now switching back to Kempton this trip hasn't proved far enough in the past for the last time out winner and with a weight switch in favour of his rival and just a nose between them last time Wotashirtfull must get the vote on his course debut. Lord Of The Reins wasn't stopping when just getting up late over course and distance last time and with him still possibly well weighted after that run he has a chance to add to his good strike-rate at this venue. Ocean Blaze is another to for the short-list after her last performance and after a break any market positive for her would be interesting but the form lends itself to a Wotashirtfull victory.
