Verdict
It's difficult to be confident about many of these but UMPH did win at Kempton four runs ago and, taking Matthew Cosham's claim in to account, is only a pound higher here. He hasn't been disgraced since so gets the nod ahead of the penalised Emma Jean, who took 20 attempts to get off the mark. Musselburgh winner Lord Buffhead must have claims, however, as he's rated 2lb lower on the all-weather, though a high draw hasn't done him any favours. Dark Ages was sent off favourite for a Lingfield claimer on her reappearance but again gave the impression she doesn't really like the Polytrack.
