OUR DAY WILL COME is our call with Cool Art and Madison Belle others on the short list. Granted a record of 0 from 7 is hardly the stuff that would make you rush to back the filly but Richard Hannon's charge is at least in a modicum of form and with seven appearing to be her best trip, we'll chance her at this grade. Cool Art apparently passed unwanted in the sales ring a couple of weeks ago. Nobody was interested in a claimer at the course earlier in the month but he likes the surface and is capable of going close. Madison Belle's victory came at Southwell. She is yet to win on polytrack so the market might offer most clues today. Kempton maiden winner, It's A Game was well beaten on a previous visit to the course so is one to possibly have a few reservations about. Riocoppelia makes a handicap debut having had three inauspicious starts on turf. Common Diva failed to build upon the promise of a Pontefract victory and the handicapper probably had more than a say in that. Quick Single was backed as if something was anticipated at this track a few weeks ago so it would be folly to discount off the back of a below par effort. Dream Date went into many notebooks when a staying on fourth over course-and-distance so must be watched in the market today. Art Fund does not look the easiest of rides. Our Day Will Come is the tentative selection in a modest race.
