Verdict
Mr Red Clubs has won for three different stables since November and ran his best race yet when completing a four-timer over this trip at Kempton. He's been hit with a massive 10lb rise but his young jockey's claim will reduce that burden by half. BRONZE ANGEL has been making steady progress, however, and made a winning all-weather debut in a maiden here last month. He's the type to carry on improving and is taken to see off another progressive type in Shabora, who was brought with a rattling late run to land a 7f maiden at Wolverhampton in November. King Of Wing makes his handicap debut after landing a Folkestone maiden on soft ground in September and is another to consider.
