Kempton Park Race 3 - Try Unibet's New Smartview Racecards Novice Stakes (GBB Race) (Div 1)
ERUDITION (4) sets the standard after a narrow 2nd at Newbury over 1408m, beaten 0.3L, following a 3rd at Leicester over the same trip. MAKERSTOUN (6) is a key chance off his last-start 2nd at Kempton over 1408m, beaten 1.5L. DISTANT MOON (2) was 2nd at Leicester over 1408m last time and should be in the mix. Debut winner KHALEEJY (1) comes up sharply in weight after scoring at Newcastle over 1420m by 0.3L and must be respected.
