A competitive start to proceedings and we prefer What Do You Know to Spirit Of Coniston and Spoof Master. Alex Hales' charge has ran at Lingfield on his last three starts but he is a much more realistic betting proposition around Kempton Park having obliged here on a couple of occasions and if he can get to the rail, he has to be given every chance of adding to his tally. Spirit Of Coniston managed to make hay from low marks last Autumn. David Nicholls' team are noted for too many early season winners but his yard haven't been that far away. Spoof Master was a beaten favourite in a claimer for Simon Callaghan. He tries again for Conor Dore. Digital drops back in trip and might not find it to his favour. Gleaming Spirit can be anticipated to have come on for a first run back whilst Fast Freddie is always dangerous if attracting an uncontested lead. Holbeck Ghyll is watched in the market. What Do You Know has plenty of positives in this race and we take him to run well at a fair price.
