The contenders
Gold Hill KTB Fit 54/100
Gold Hill showed fair form when fourth on debut over 1m here last year but has been off the track since. The step up to 1m4f is a fresh question while first-time headgear is now applied. Trainer has no recorded runs at this course and the jockey's modest 3% strike-rate from 251 rides adds little confidence on what is very limited evidence overall.
Liberate KTB Fit 53/100
Liberate has shown fair form in three runs this year, finishing no worse than fourth and shaping as though he would stay further than 1m2f. He now steps up markedly in trip which asks a fresh question of him. The yard holds a solid record at Kempton but the jockey's strike-rate here is modest.
Lucy The Wire KTB Fit 51/100
Lucy The Wire showed fair form when runner-up on her most recent start and now tries a new trip with first-time headgear. The yard has a solid 17% strike rate at Kempton from 103 runs while Billy Loughnane is operating at a 16% strike rate from 411 rides here. She remains unproven on standard to slow going and steps up markedly in distance, so there are still several unknowns.
Bankatary KTB Fit 49/100
Bankatary has shown only modest form in four starts and was well held on his latest two outings. He is being asked a fresh question over this trip having failed to make an impact on his one previous attempt at it. The yard has a solid 17% strike rate at the track while Fallon is operating at a more modest 10%.
Westender KTB Fit 46/100
Westender has shown little in two starts so far and was well held when seventh on his only previous visit to Kempton. The trainer operates at an 8% strike rate here from 198 runs while the jockey is on 8% from 1077 rides, both modest returns. Stepping up in trip for the first time today adds a fresh question to a lightly-raced profile that still carries very limited hard data.
