Kempton Park Race 5 - Becky Burke Memorial Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race) (Div 1)
DIALSTONE (8) was gelded prior to making his debut at Ffos Las over 2000m at the end of June and was only just denied after getting the hang of things late. Should have more to offer and makes the shortlist. There isn't a better bred horse anywhere in the UK than FORTITUDINE (9) who is a full-brother to racing superstar Rebel's Romance. Gelded and there will be huge interest in this debut. The other runner for Godolphin is TREBLE BASS (11). Looks a long term project after finishing well held at Windsor. PURPLE MOON (1) won on his final outing in Ireland at Gowran Park. This is tougher under a penalty.

Lining up for just third start. When well in the market at debut, sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at Salisbury on June 9 over 2000m, on a slow track; 27 len behind Besieged with 60.5kg at $4. Second-up 9th of 14 at Southwell All Weather on July 27 over 2400m, 17 len behind Kokbastau carrying 59kg at $10. Suitably placed and expected to go close this time.
