Kempton Park Race 2

Unibet - Lets Talk About Safer Gambling Nursery

Stake: $22,324

Charlie Appleby and Dougie Costello have teamed up to excellent effect this season and WILD NATURE (1) may help them add to the tally. Disappointed when popular making nursery debut at Doncaster (1400m). Holds form and can win off this rating based on previous efforts. Trainer George Boughey does well with his new recruits and DANTE'S LAD (2) maintains some eye-catching form behind group winners in Ireland. Dangerous making nursery and AW debut. Stepping back up to 1600m might suit the in-form SPIRIT LEAD ME (4) after his third tackling 1400m here. NATURALLY (5) cannot be discounted.

At the latest run ran last of 10 at Doncaster on October 26 over 1400m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Pellitory with 61kg at $2.20. Before that 2nd of 7 at Newmarket (Rowley) on October 5 over 1600m, 0.5 len behind Nebras with 60.5kg at $2.90. Better than the last effort suggests and deserves another chance.

Useful type. Comes here off a 32-day let-up. Most recently 3rd of 9 at Leopardstown on October 19 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Yamal carrying 56kg at $6. Before that won by 0.5 len at Curragh September 29 over 1400m defeating Desmond Castle with 60.5kg at $11. Key chance and expected to run well.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd of 7 at this track on November 6 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Miss Collada with 61.5kg at $2.80. The start before that favourite; won by 4 len at Wolverhampton October 25 over 1400m defeating Crest Of Esteem with 61kg at $1.80. No surprise to see him back in the winners' circle.

Third-up today. Resuming second last of 8 at Southwell All Weather on October 10 over 1400m, 11 len behind Shining River carrying 58kg at $3.50. Second run from a spell 5th of 11 at this track on October 30 over 1400m, 2.5 len behind British Blue with 58kg at $10. Definitely worth including.
