Starting the bank holiday preview at Kempton I am tempted to give Invisible Man another chance in the 3.30. A beaten favourite on both of his starts so far he appears to still be held in high regard at home given his Group 1 entries. The well bred Sovereign Remedy is another interesting runner in this race.
Maverin ran quite well when 3rd at Yarmouth last month and is one of my fancies for the 4.00. At a big price it might be worth having a look at Choral Service. He is 20/1 in the RP but is a full brother to the high class Chorist and the stable are in fine form.
Forgotten Voice looks the one to beat in the 4.30. A recent course and distance winner he shaped as though there would be more to come and can defy a rise in the weights.
Mr Freddy put in an eye catching effort at Epsom on his seasonal reappearance and he looks to be in with a good chance in the Newcastle 5.15 where Speed Dating could be better than his handicap rating and looks the danger.
Sir Michael Stoute has his team in tremendous form and his Desert Creek looks sure to go well in the 3.55 at Windsor. This son of Refuse To Bend ran out a comfortable winner on his second run as a juvenile and looks to have a bright future. The other runner that interests me in this race is Raaeidd. He was also a winner on his second outing last year showing plenty of promise at Kempton. Hopefully Philip Robinson will be fit to take the ride on him after his nasty accident yesterday aboard the stricken Chief Editor.
In the 4.25 there is a good word for Formula from the Richard Hannon yard.
There is a quality card at The Curragh where my selections are Vocalised (2.30) and Curtain Call (4.00).
