Lydford - 19:15 Kempton

Flag: Top rated, Horse in focus

Lydford had shown fairly useful form on his first two starts, but the market strongly pointed to an improved performance on his handicap debut at Chelmsford last time, and he never gave his backers a moment of worry, always travelling strongly in behind the leaders before stretching clear to win with any amount in hand. He was well suited by the longer trip that day, and is bred to be better than this grade, so is strongly fancied to follow up after a 9 lb rise.
