Ian Ogg has the Sunday best bets with his Nap in action at Kempton.
It's been a slower than usual start to the season for Paul Nicholls but he's expected to have RUBAUD ready to roll for what is a good target given his course record of two wins and two seconds from five visits. He doesn't face an easy task at the weights given his penalty but he's a decent hurdler who started last season in fine form, winning this race and the Elite Hurdle, and he's taken to stamp his class on proceedings.
A debut bumper winner from the re-opposing Aire Spray, KABUKI has shaped with promise on both starts over hurdles although displaying a tendency to race a shade too freely. It's hoped that will lessen as he matures and that his recent return at Warwick will have taken the fizz out of him. This is more realistic and he can put his experience and race fitness to good use.
