Kempton Park Race 5 - Becky Burke Memorial Novice Stakes (Gbb/Gbbplus Race) (Div 1)
FORTITUDINE (9) Charlie Appleby 3yo by Dubawi having first race start. Jockey James Doyle rates highly aboard. Watch betting. MID FLIGHT (10) Back from a break of 38 weeks. Ran 8th last time at Dundalk. Should improve from the last run and going up in distance. First race for a new trainer. Will be there at the finish. DIALSTONE (8) Narrowly beaten last time at Ffos Las and having second race start. Respect against this field. PURPLE MOON (1) First run back from a break. Was a comprehensive winner by 5 1/2L last time at Gowran Park but competing in a higher grade. First start for a new trainer. Place chance.

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Thrashed the field when winning by 5 1/2L last time at Gowran Park but matched against tougher rivals. Will need its best to find a place.

First up after 16 weeks and competitive effort when 2nd first up last preparation at Taunton. Coming back in distance. Too much luck needed to come into contention.

Back from a spell. Started at $201.00 and disappointing run when 11th last time at Wolverhampton and facing a stronger group of contenders. Has to improve out of sight.

Jumped at $10.00 and couldn't maintain the pace when 9th last start at Southwell but gets a favourable draw. Expecting to settle positively. Will need everything to go right.

Racing fresh today after a 53 week spell. Jumped at $101.00 and performed below standard when 11th last time at Sandown but fitter for debut run. Not ready for this level.
