Verdict
Kempton bumpers frequently throw up interesting types and Nicky Henderson's record around here is there for all to see so we'll go with the Seven Barrows newcomer, PEACE OF ROME. He's nicely bred and those he faces with form do not set the most exacting standard. Of those to have run, Kaleb looks promising after finishing a close third of six at Plumpton when supported into favouritism to make a winning debut. He should come on appreciably for the run and is a leading contender. Diamond Egg also showed sufficient promise on debut to get involved, whilst Iskar D'airy and the King pair of Gitche Gumee and Hall Lane are all worth a market check on debut.
