Verdict
BAPAK ASMARA hasn't raced since completing a double at Haydock last July but this looks to be his time of year and he's probably still on a fair mark given he's only had seven career starts. Whozthecat, Captain Dunne, Tumblewind and Free Zone are other previous course and distance winners in the line-up and the latter may be the pick of those today. Mishaal wasn't disgraced on his reappearance at Kempton while a market move for either of the Dandy Nicholls pair, Pearl Acclaim and Apricot Sky, would be interesting.
