KEMPTON March 13 (standard to slow) 1m3f three-year-old novice (Class 5) Small but competitive field
BRITISH CAMP (Andrew Balding) is a leggy colt who is bred to improve (May foal from a middle-distance family). He managed to beat a useful field despite looking greener than Kermit and should develop into an above average stayer.
KEMPTON March 16 (good-soft, soft in places) 2m5f handicap hurdle (Class 2) Smart form
TITAN DISCOVERY (Robbie Llewellyn) is thriving physically and ran a belter to finish second after getting outpaced turning for home. He's still lightly raced and will pickup a classy handicap over this sort of trip.
2m5f novices' hurdle (Class 4) Cracking race for the grade
BE AWARE (Dan Skelton) still looks green and put in a personal best to chase home the battle-hardened Kamsinas. He's well treated off 126 and could pinch a valuable handicap for his canny connections.
LINGFIELD March 22 (standard) 1m2f handicap (Class 5) Competitive event
TRIBAL WISDOM (lan Williams) is a bonny individual who might have won this but for being messed about turning for home. Lingfield suits him better than the other all-weather circuits and he will be placed to advantage.
KEMPTON March 27 (standard to slow) 6f three-year-old novice (Class 4) Cracking race for the grade
SKY WIZARD (Clive Cox) was carrying a bit of timber on this return from a 288-day break, but that didn't stop him running a cracker to finish second. He'll strip sharper next time and can pick-up something decent over 7f-plus.
7f three-year-old novice (Class 5) Race that will produce winners
