Verdict
Cloudy Bob has run six times at Kempton this year, winning once, but recent rain is not in his favour. Ultimatum Du Roy has won three times, including his latest, but he’s never been successful off a mark this high. Emerald Rose is also a course and distance winner but Lost Legend still appears to be out of sorts. WILLIAM MONEY has yet to finish out of the first two since joining Tim Vaughan. Alan Johns has been on board for two of his three victories and takes the reins again here so the bottom weight gets the nod.
