17.25 Kempton: Ihtifal @ 5/2 Paddy Power - 6pts win
Ihtifal really showed a massive performance at Kempton two weeks ago. She bounced out of the gate and made it from the widest draw over to the inside rail to take the early lead. She set a brutal pace and had the whole field early enough under pressure. She still was able to kick on 2f out and looked a sure winner entering the final furlong but got a bit tired in the end and was overhauled by two closers eventually to finish only 3rd. There is not doubt that she would have won with a more sensible ride and rightly she went up 3lb in the mark for this effort, yet I think that won't stop her from winning tomorrow. She looks to have still a bit in hand in my mind and the drop back to 5f shouldn't cause any trouble. She has the speed no doubt and has a much better draw this time. She'll be very hard to beat.
