Race Verdict

BOLD HENRY looked set to collect at Kempton last time until departing at the last flight. Philip Hobbs' representative was 12 lengths up and fully in command, so providing he jumps a cleaner round this time, compensation should be in the offing. Kian's Delight looks the main danger if capable of reproducing the form of his February second at Doncaster and is open to further improvement under Peter Bowen, while money for David Pipe's debutant The Grey Fox would also be noteworthy.

Selection: Bold Henry        Danger: Kian's Delight        Alternative: The Grey Fox
