Kempton Park Race 1 - Sporting Times Restricted Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
CHARLES DARNAY (6) steps up in distance having disappointed as favourite last time over shorter. Form of that 3.5L third still sets the standard and open to any amount of further progression looks hard to oppose confidently. JOHN GALT (3) shaped well when a 6L fourth at this track in latest. Can improve on that with a top jockey booked. Keep safe. CRANACHAN (4) was well beaten on debut. The market had expected more that day and been given time since then. Interesting if the money comes once more. Shortlist. MYTHICAL VALENTINE (5) might improve on the first two outings. Each way hope after a mini-break.
