Kempton Park Race 1 - Unibet/British Stallion Studs Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race)
AL WATHBA (1) represents leading connections and looks a nice type having placed second both attempts to date with a 1.5L defeat on debut where the winner has followed up among G3 and G2 company since. Ran well earlier this month when 0.75L runner-up in a 1400m novice race at Leicester. Looks hard to beat. SOMMOOD (7) showed plenty of promise first up when 3.5L second in a 1400m newcomers maiden at Newmarket three weeks ago. Open to plenty of progress for notable connections. Big claims. PURE CONCEPT (6) holds claims as a two-year-old son of Lucky Vega from Pure Nature running for the Richard Hannon team. Interesting newcomer. WYKEHURST PARK (8) is a two-year-old colt by Stradivarius for the in-form Balding yard. Might feature.

Having third race start. At very long odds at debut, 4th of 10 at Lingfield All Weather on July 6 over 1400m, 8 len behind Perfect Nation carrying 60.5kg at $51. Last start struggled in the run home; 6th of 9 at Doncaster on July 23 over 1400m, 6 len behind Jassas with 60.5kg at $41. Doesn't look one of the major players.

At debut, 2nd of 8 at Newmarket (July) on August 7 over 1400m, 3.5 len behind Desert Castle carrying 60.5kg at $7. Will derive great benefit from that outing and looks set to break the maiden status.

Two-year-old colt by Stradivarius out of Ten Thousand Stars having his first start. Profiles well and worth watching for any market moves.
