Fiddlers Green has the tag of bookie's favourite slapped on him for this race having shaped well at Chelmsford last time out.
Although he went well with Billy Loughlane in the saddle and may enjoy the greater distance, he’s yet to claim his maiden win and needs to find more.
Second in the market is Trusty Scout and he may be trustworthy indeed. His last win came on this course in November and he’s no stranger to the frame.
He’s finished in the top three in five of his previous six starts on the all-weather and three of those races were run at Kempton.
The rest of the field is comprised of runners who you can pick fault in. Lemon Ice pulled up last time out on the back of an extended break.
Optik also struggled off the back of a break, although he was met with unfortunate circumstances, but the increase in trip also poses a question.
Stintino Sunset, Distinction, and Qeyaady haven’t been prolific and will no things to fall their way on the day.
The one outsider who is worth keeping an eye on is The Bay Warrior.
He looked more comfortable with headgear on last time out and went well at Chelmsford.
His 18-month wait for a wait has provided some near misses and he may have finally dropped to a workable mark.
In the end, the tried and trusted Trust Scout looks like the most reliable horse in the pack.
Suggested bet: Back Trusty Scout to win the 20:15 at Kempton
