Verdict

A competitive finale and INTERCEPT is only a tentaive selection. He looked one to follow at the start of the season but has perhaps not quite come up to expectations yet. Nevertheless, with only six starts to his name, the four-year-old still has time on his side and has twice finished very close up in Kempton handicaps this term. My Kingdom is solid and consistent and should be on the premises again in his current mood while Aldermoor also appeals off what looks a feasible mark having gained his last two successes at this venue. However, the main threat to the selection is Choral as the Hannon charge seems best on Polytrack and did the job quite comfortably at Kempton last time.
