Timeform's Adam Houghton highlights a Nap, Next Best and Each-Way selection at Kempton on Wednesday...

  • A Kempton NAP, Next Best and Each-Way from Timeform


Kempton NAP - 18:30 - Back No News

No News proved at least as good as ever when filling the runner-up spot over this course and distance two weeks ago, doing well under the circumstances to be beaten just half a length.

That race was run at a modest gallop and he ended up being caught further back than ideal, making up good ground in the straight but ultimately coming up short.

Though yet to win in 15 starts, No News is threatening to come good soon and today could be the day for him to finally get off the mark from just 2 lb higher in the weights than last time.

Kempton Next Best - 17:30 - Back City House

City House left his previous form well behind on his all-weather debut at Wolverhampton last month, passing the post just three quarters of a length behind the winner and arguably deserving extra credit having been caught further back than ideal in a steadily-run race.

The most impressive aspect of his performance was his strength at the finish, recording a notably fast closing sectional.

That was a big step in the right direction and there could be more to come from City House on today's nursery debut, identifying him as very much one to follow from an opening BHA mark of just 76.

Kempton Each-Way - 20:00 - Back Royal Scandal

Royal Scandal stepped up on her comeback run when finishing fourth at Newcastle earlier this month, passing the post less than three lengths behind the winner despite leaving the impression she would have benefited from a stiffer test of stamina.

Successful twice on the all-weather in a promising three-year-old campaign, the low mileage Royal Scandal will be suited by the longer trip today and she's already shown enough to suggest she's capable of defying a BHA mark of 87 when things go her way.
