    Can’t see past the top two in the market, Pic D’Ohry has consistently put up some tremendous performances from the front while posting good times. But the second favourite, Paint The Dream, also put up a very good time when winning last time out and could benefit from the favourite setting a decent pace. It’s tricky to pick between the two!

    What are everyone elses thoughts?

    If Pic D’Ohry can dictate from the front I think he’ll have enough. He’s 1 from 1 at Kempton and I think the course will suit him more. Cobden on board, Nicholls doing okay in the big races
    Paint the Dream could be better over further plus his last win on a right handed, tight track in 2019, that was a handicap against nothing special. Paint the Dreams wins since then have been 3 at Newbury and once at Chepstow both left handed galloping tracks.

    I just can’t see Pic D’Ohry losing here. I’ll go with Coole Cody though at 16-1 ew just in the chance that he can run on past beaten horses at the end

    Cheers for that added info Nathan, I’ve backed Pic D’ohry, think he’ll get his own way up front (as I can’t see Nichols wanting to scupper his chances by wanting Saint Calvados to go up there). Seems like a real improving animal.

    Delighted to see Clondaw Castle again. It’s been long enough since his last run and this is plenty competitive enough, but I’m hopeful of a sign of life with a view to Aintree.

    Pic Dorhy wouldn’t have been out of place in the King George which can’t be said for all of these. Everything in favour; he’s the one to beat.

    I’m another who’s in the Pic D’Ohry camp, but the price doesn’t appeal for my level of punting, so I’ve bet Angels Breath at 6-1. He might not be the same horse now, but he was very promising a few years back
