King Kenny still looks high enough in the weights and given his poor conversion rate we are happy to take him on with KIPCHAK whilst Misplaced Fortune and Top Tribute join Mandalay King on the shortlist. The selection won a seller for Clive Brittain two starts ago and then ran a fair race in defeat last time when dropped in trip. He is racing over seven furlongs today which may suit and he should run well off this 6lb lower mark. James Given has a profitable strike-rate at the course and Bentley needs to be considered, along with Misplaced Fortune who ran well in defeat when last seen and has a good young pilot aboard today. Buy On The Red is stepped back up in trip for this first start for a new yard and the market should help guide as to what is expected today, whilst Baltimore Jack is stepped back up in trip but all three of his wins have come over six furlongs. Mandalay King now looks high enough in the weights following a profitable season as a three-year-old and we are happy to take him on with Kipchak.
