20/1
Put together a hat-trick at on the turn of 2015/16 but has become a little less predictable since then. Never tried over this far but has shaped like he may stay on a couple of occasions so shouldn't be dismissed lightly.

50/1
Large absence to overcome and wasn't in great form when last seen. Even on old form not particularly well-handicapped so easy enough to look elsewhere.

Out of form since winning valuable maiden at Goodwood but dropped in Class further here and sure to bounce back at some stage. Jockey in form.

While capable on his day, he has a large absence to overcome and hasn't placed on the AW from two starts. Hard to fancy.

11/1
Quirky type who got head caught in the stalls last time. Can race keenly at times and significant drop in trip is a bit of a surprise but well backed before the hiccup last time so shouldn't be ruled out.

In and out performer who would be benefited from receiving a strong pace to run at but that's not guaranteed here with only one recognised front-runner in the line-up.

Quite possible he will get an easy time out front and no better man to execute such tactics as the jockey booked today. Finished third behind Petite Jack last time and that rival has won very impressively since so he should give a good account.

Placed just once in six starts and has a tough draw to contend with here, others preferred.

Consistent type who performed well on comeback run at Lingfield, finishing third of 13. Stable have hit some form now so he warrants respect.

9/1
Running well of late without troubling the judge. The switch of cheekpieces for blinkers (worn on only winning start) is a positive but hard to win from such a tough draw. Inexperienced claimer booked.

C&D winner. That came four runs back and form has been franked since. Back down in trip looks a smart move and should be able to take a race like this at some stage.

Age: 4|  Weight: 8-13| J: D C Costello| T: D Loughnane| OR:  67

Still a maiden and appears to be a tricky hold up performer. May not get much of a pace to run at here and he has trouble leaving the starting stalls so others preferred on balance.

16:00 Kempton - 6 January 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

Adam Kirby is currently in flying form and he takes the ride on DUCK A L'ORANGE here. There's every chance Kirby will get an easy lead here and provided the horse turns up in the same form as he was in last time, he should prove hard to pass. Spin Point ought to bounce back to form at some stage and will be well-handicapped when he does. Santiburi Spring has a C&D win on his side and the drop back in trip may work the oracle. 1. Duck A L'orange 2. Spin Point 3. Santiburi Spring
