Kempton Park Race 3

Ladbrokes Wayward Lad Novices' Chase (Grade 2) (Gbb Race)

Stake: $152,214

BALLYBURN (1) represents leading connections from Ireland and looks to hold all the aces. On chasing debut at Punchestown he looked imperious winning by 13L. Can make it a career six-timer. Leading contender. SIR GINO (4) provides stiff opposition for a top UK yard and leading owner. First time chasing but comes off the back of an impressive 8L win in the G1 Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle. Warrants close consideration. RUBAUD also is first-up over fences after two successes over hurdles this venue and in the G2 Elite Hurdle at Wincanton previously. Might not be able to match the top two. BROOKIE (2) can fill fourth spot.
