20.20 Kempton - Class 4 Nursery: Intriguing Juvenile contest and it's easy to make a case for most of the runners. The favourite looks solid enough under a penalty but is short enough and ready to be taken on. Top weight Speedy Move looked good winning a maiden at Leicester last time out and should improve for the step up in trip. The merit of that form is questionable though and his mark stiff enough at this point. Rotherwick did well in maidens and should be better now in handicaps. If he is up to his opening mark remains to be seen. Strong sire but the dam side is less appealing. If Spindle can transform her Southwell maiden winning form to conventional polytrack, she is in with a chance. Classic Seniority won a maiden over 6f, the step up in trip is sure to suit on pedigree, given that his dam side is stamina ladden, without posing too much quality. Opening mark looks fair. Maiden Foylesideview didn't show much in three starts yet and is hard to fancy in this contest.
Western Playboy makes appeal on his low mark with a promising 5lb claimer in the saddle on the back of a very good performance at Lingfield. He didn't have the speed at a crucial point of the race, when the eventual winner got first run and accelerated impressively coming around the home bend, but Western Playboy stayed on extremely well in a tight defeat eventually. The step up in trip is sure to suit on pedigree and he seems a rather unreasonable big price here.
