Kunte Kinteh won his maiden nicely enough and ran a fair race back in a handicap at Kempton subsequently but, unless the rain arrives, he looks worth taking on with preference for Just Oscar who gets the vote ahead of Five Wishes. The last mentioned remains a maiden but has only had six career starts and deserves to get her head in front having found just one too good in each of her last three starts. She makes more appeal than Davaye, who has slipped to a winning mark but is hard to back on the evidence of recent form. Tommy Tobougg seems to be a shade high in the weights judged by his handicap debut last time, while Mangano remains a maiden after 23 starts and is hard to back with confidence to change that run. The vote though goes to Just Oscar, who has shown a decent level of form of late and is fully entitled to be thereabouts.
