In depth

Verdict

DANCE THE STAR has the services of Ryan Moore tonight and having had only a light campaign this term, has to be respected as a player. Lucky Punt would have made more appeal were this at Southwell though Brendan Powell's team are operating in fair nick at present. Lang Shining has never been the easiest of individuals to predict though life seems happier with Jamie Osborne and Sophie Doyle in the plate. Farleigh House has been sent hurdling by Neil King having previously campaigned over a mile on the level by Sir Mark Prescott. Kaleo has been something of an Epsom specialist in the past and makes a debut on the polytrack at Kempton this evening. Thistle Stikk is surprisingly dropped into this sphere after just one start in maiden company by Roger Charlton.
