Keep An Eye On It

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 7lbs
Or: 67

Went very close on 7f Southwell handicap debut in April and progressed again stepped up to 1m in stronger company when third of 10 in handicap at Musselburgh later that month. Absent since but unlikely we've seen all he has to offer.

Improved form for new connections when doubling her tally in a handicap at Haydock in May, responding well to the return of cheekpieces. Ran at least as well when runner-up at Ripon (1m, good to firm) the following month and big chance having been freshened up since.

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 0lbs

Saw off 6 rivals at Beverley last month and scraped home in first-time cheekpieces following a 2 lb rise at Thirsk (1m, good to firm) next time. Unable to dominate and had winning run ended on all-weather debut at Southwell (1m) a fortnight ago but better showing anticipated back on turf.

Light The Night Up (Ire)

J: Sam James

Form not really going anywhere this year, below form over a 2f longer trip when last of 5 in handicap at this course (1¼m, firm) 4 weeks ago. Handicapper drops her 2 lb but looks easy enough to look elsewhere.

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 6lbs

Left previous efforts this season behind when winning 8-runner handicap at Catterick (7f, good to firm) just under 3 weeks ago, the fitting of a first-time visor and taking on older horses for the first time the obvious catalysts. Back up to 1m and more required to follow up.

Adiada

J: S. B. Kirrane

F: 524-

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 9lbs
Or: 69

Postponed filly who left her debut form well behind and looked suited by the longer trip when second of 8 in novice at Beverley last September. Well beaten at Newcastle the following month and makes handicap debut after 9 months off. Hood retained but possibly wants further.

Vega Storm (Ire)

Age: 3
Weight: 9st 3lbs
Or: 63

Produced his most encouraging effort so far on just his second handicap outing when fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick last month but not in the same form back there (7f, good to firm) a fortnight later, track position not solely to blame. Bounce back needed.

Our Randolph

F: 87-9

Churchill gelding who hinted at ability in 2 outings last summer but was too free after 10 months off when ninth of 11 in novice at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 8 weeks ago. Needs to prove a different proposition now handicapping back up in trip.

F: 431-63

Weight: 9st 6lbs

Won a novice in December but disappointing on handicap debut at Southwell the following month. Bounced back to form despite the drop back in trip when third of 7 in handicap at same course (7f) back in April and has switched yards (22,000 gns) ahead of this turf bow.

19/11/25	Kempton Park	1m	Std	4/13	Flat

Timeform Verdict

This can go the way of PARODA DIVA, who has responded well to the refitting of cheekpieces and Patrick Neville's filly can add a third career success to her tally at the expense of Keep An Eye On It, who progressed again stepped up to 1m when third at Musselburgh back in April and it's unlikely we've seen all he has to offer. Vega Storm and Hatamoto looks best of the remainder.

Betting Forecast

11/2 Keep An Eye On It, 4/1 Paroda Diva (Ire), 10/1 Hatamoto, 20/1 Napolian (Ire), 20/1 Light The Night Up (Ire), 6/1 Wise Crack (Ire), 17/2 Adiada, 10/1 Vega Storm (Ire), 33/1 Our Randolph, 17/2 Beckon
