6.33 Kempton: Maximising
Dave Nevison
Finished: 2ndSP: 4/1
Maximising won his maiden on the all-weather in the depths of winter, and although he has been beaten off similar ratings three times since that victory, he definitely showed enough last time out to suggest he can win off a rating of 77.
He missed the break at Lingfield when last seen but gradually made up ground to be beaten just a neck, and could be classed slightly unlucky.
He has had a break since then, so his fitness has to be taken on trust, but his yard have had a couple of winners in the past week, and I am happy to take that chance against some very exposed rivals.

7.08 Kempton: Atlantis Blue
Dave Nevison
Finished: 4thSP: 28/1
George Baker’s consistent mare goes well at this track, and returned from a six-month break with a very respectable run here last time out.
She didn't enjoy the best of runs on that occasion, and has been dropped a pound for that effort. If she comes on for the outing, she can go close here, despite being slightly upped in grade.
She was second in a 0-95 at Goodwood in July last year, and I believe she is capable of a big run.
8.53 Kempton: Initial Blue
Dave Nevison
Finished: 1stSP: 5/1
Although drawn in stall five, I think Initial Blue should still have enough speed to get the lead in this, and that could prove decisive.
He is extremely consistent in this grade, and would have done even better than he did last time out but for the attentions of a loose horse.
Rossa Ryan looks a key booking, and it is hard to envisage anything but a good run.
