“went to the front early then lost the advantage before the furlong marker - travelled close up and in touch with the front pair 2f out - finished strongly to regain the front inside the final 110yds - hung on by a whisker”

Pundit pick: Look Back Smiling

Look Back Smiling is clear of this Kempton (AW) field on our figures, well ahead of his ten rivals despite a modest recent sequence of finishes. First-time cheekpieces today could be the change needed to close the gap between that promise and his placings on the track. Between Me And U, Opening Bat and Finn Ironside look the most obvious dangers on recent form, but none matches our selection on the book. Confidence is medium given the query over his recent placings, but Look Back Smiling remains the pick.
