Top-half AI rating in the EW price sweet spot. Each-way splits stake: half on the win, half on the place portion.
Thestral gets the vote in this Class 6 contest at Kempton (AW), not the highest figure on our book but the one with the most improving profile, having been runner-up two starts back before a solid 3rd last time out. Roi De Coeur, Roccobear and Torbados are the principal dangers, all within a handful of pounds on our figures, but Thestral's upward curve and proven form over today's trip and ground edge it. Expect a competitive finish in this large field, with our selection just about the pick on profile alone.
