Plenty with a shout in something of a lottery but KRAZY PAVING won nicely under Megan Nicholls at Kempton last time and should make another bold bid. He finished well ahead of Daring Guest on that occasion and the latter has since placed at Lingfield but Atyaaf’s earlier success at Chelmsford came over the minimum trip and he’s been beaten since. Dodgy Bob has been thereabouts over 7f since beaten a nose by Indian Affair over track and trip in January and the latter is not out of this with Compton Abbey and the unexposed Filbert Street others to consider.
