Best bet of the day is the undeniably well handicapped Sir Kezbaah in the 16:30. His trainer Jeremy Scott has his horses in tremendous form, and the son of Oscar has shaped well on several outings this season. It was no surprise to see him improve for a step up to 23f at Exeter last time, but the way he won that contest was very impressive, travelling supremely well and pulling clear without being asked for everything. A 7 lb penalty doesn't look enough to stop him following up, and with Dantari likely to tow the field along at a strong pace, there is little chance of a false result. A current price of 3.95, at betfair, is too big.

In the mares bumper at 17:40, there is sure to be support for Nicky Henderson's newcomer Carole's Destiny, and the Philip Hobbs trained Ballyquin Queen is also short in the market, but a line through Sandown listed winner Swincombe Flame suggests that she is inferior to Oliver Sherwood's Florafern, and Roger Waters' mare looks seriously overpriced at 7.6, having run an excellent second at Warwick last time. There's a slight concern about her ability to act on a quicker surface, but that's offset by her current odds of [7.6].
