STORMBOUND is a bit of a speculative selection in the 1m handicap at Kempton this evening (6.35), but he has been given a bit of a chance by the handicapper on this surface and if back to his best following a break would be thereabouts in this grade. He ran a number of good races on Polytrack last winter, showing a good turn of foot to get out of trouble when beating Pategonia (rated 78 when last seen) at Wolverhampton in January. He struggled afterwards, but returns to the track at a time when plenty from his stable have been running well, and having done all his racing on this surface off marks between 70 and 80, now finds himself eligible for 0-65 company. Tee It Up Tommo is a worthy favourite, whilst Celestial Ray would take plenty of beating if returning in the same kind of form that saw him a staying-on third in a good maiden over an inadequate trip when last seen, but the fact that he has since been absent and left Sir Mark Prescott is an obvious concern.
In the 2m handicap at Kempton (7.35) NORFOLK SKY looks the interesting one. She had looked in the handicapper’s grip prior to her first start over 2m on what was her latest Flat outing in September, but she shaped really well that day to finish second, facing a huge task trying to concede 17lb to Man From Seville (who bolted up under a penalty on his only subsequent start and is probably an 80+ horse). That was probably a career-best effort, and it wasn’t as a result of one of Lingfield’s habitual steadily-run races at that trip – the time was the fourth-fastest recorded over course and distance (from 156 races) and the field finished well strung out, with the in-form and consistent Steely beaten almost ten lengths in fourth. Norfolk Sky is only 2lb higher here, and after failing to cut much ice over hurdles on her only subsequent start, she remains interesting returning to Polytrack over this sort of trip, especially with her stable in such good form (last three AW runners have all started at 8-1 and all three won).
