A Kempton NAP and Next Best from Timeform
Kempton NAP - 18:30 - Back One For The Frog
One For The Frog returned to form with a good second at Southwell a few weeks ago and he's suddenly one to be interested in again having fallen a long way in the weights.
He was beaten just a neck at Southwell and earned a notable sectional upgrade having made a big move into contention from off the pace in a steadily-run affair.
The first two pulled a little way clear of the rest and One For The Frog certainly showed enough to suggest he should be capable of defying this sort of mark for Sean Woods, who has his team in good order (65% of horses running to form).
Kempton Next Best - 19:30 - Back Wizarding
Wizarding has been knocking on the door recently and his runner-up effort at this course two weeks ago was a particularly good run, doing well under the circumstances to be beaten only two and a half lengths having raced closer than ideal to the strong gallop.
His connections are dropping him back to seven furlongs today and it was over this course and distance in November last year that he gained his sole career victory from a 2 lb higher mark.
Wizarding should last a bit longer over this shorter trip than last time, even if similarly aggressive tactics are employed by Oisin Murphy, and he's certainly been shaping like a horse ready to take advantage of his reduced mark with a series of consistent efforts in defeat.
