Verdict

Despite being raised 10lb for his earlier win at Yarmouth, AFKAR has been placed on his last couple of starts at Kempton. He can reverse recent running on the Polytrack with Scottish Lake and come out best. Dr Red Eye went close at Chester recently and the C&D winner should make another bold bid though this is tougher than the race Ghostwing won at Brighton earlier this month. Myboyalfie has been running consistently well and arrives in better form than the remainder of the field having finished runner-up at Folkestone during the week.
