2.30 Hamilton – Class 5 Handicap (1m)
This looks a good opportunity for MOUTAI, the race being a lowly event for his handicap debut.
Ed Walker's runner has shown ability in maidens and novices at some of the bigger tracks, and most recently he probably needed the race on his seasonal reappearance at Doncaster (7f, good to firm). He has snuck into this 0-72 contest at the top of the weights.
He's also a half-brother to a few winners, including one at Group 3 level, and he cost €225,000 last May, so there's a fair chance he will prove better than this class.
7.22 Kempton – Class 4 Handicap (7f)
FORCE AND VALOUR struggled when dropped to 6f at Chester last time, but he had been off for three months and that was a Class 3 contest.
He drops in grade and steps back up in trip, so he's worth another chance to confirm the promise he showed when third against older rivals from a tough draw in a handicap at Meydan two starts back.
