4/1

Frustrating most of last term but began in style in 2020 by winning 1m4f h'cap at Lingfield, staying on well off 3lb lower mark. Having only third start on AW so open to further improvement and won't be far away.

Forecasts

Mordred (4/1), Big Daddy Kane (4/1), Olympic Conqueror (9/2), High Commissioner (6/1), Motivate Me (6/1), Secratario (7/1), Starfighter (10/1), Moment Of Hope (16/1), Ilhabela Fact (22/1), Unit of Assessment (40/1), Agent Zigzag (40/1)

In an open contest OLYMPIC CONQUEROR can continue his love affair with Kempton by making it 3-3 at the track. Raised just 4lb for his latest success, he still appears to be on the right side of the handicapper. Agent Zigzag has his second run for connections having shaped well on his first start for them after previously racing in Ireland. He is worth considering along with the progressive Big Daddy Kane and recent Lingfield scorer Mordred. Motivate Me is another worth considering back at what may be her best trip.
