In depth
Verdict
Red Rudy should appreciate the drop back to six furlongs having failed to stay the extended mile at Wolverhampton last time and has to be respected despite having to give weight away all round but preference is for Angel Voices, with Honey Monster rated the pick of the remainder. The selection has been running consistently well in handicaps at Lingfield of late, should appreciate the return to Kempton and the drop in grade and he looks the percentage call at weights that favour him. Lindbergh has claims on the pick of his form but is inconsistent, while Goodbye Cash has been disappointing for some time now and seems best watched. Honey Monster has every chance on official BHA ratings and has to be considered in receipt of weight all round but it is Angel Voices that gets the vote.
