Verdict

There should be more to come from ROYAL AVIATION so he's taken to make light of a 6 lb rise for Kempton and take his handicap record to 2-2. Fozzie Bear has yet to win but can be very competitive off this mark. Kingdom Girl may build on her Yarmouth reappearance fifth and is also on the shortlist along with Michael Bell handicap newcomer John O'Groats.

  1. ROYAL AVIATION (USA)
  2. FOZZIE BEAR (IRE)
  3. KINGDOM GIRL
