A 15-runner handicap over two miles rounds out the Kempton card, with the weights headed by the Michael Jarvis-trained Tioman. However, despite showing plenty of promise in decent company early last season, this one's only success to date has been achieved in a Southwell maiden and he may be worth passing over here off 9st 11lbs. Our idea of the winner is Dubai Seven Stars. Although this five-year-old has not run so far this term, he has been kept busy over hurdles during the winter by Martin Pipe, including a decent seventh-place finish in the Pertemps Hurdle Final at the Cheltenham Festival. On last season's form, Dubai Seven Stars has a leading chance here, with perhaps his best effort being his third to Miss Fara in the Cesarewitch at Newmarket in October. Got One Too, trained by Nicky Henderson, looks like being his main danger. That six-year-old has scored on both attempts to date this season, at Nottingham and here at Kempton, and could still have a little in hand of the handicapper.
