CLIFFORDS REPRIEVE is without a win but has improved for racing on the Polytrack and has been placed the last twice over 5f at Kempton. He'll need only a modicum of improvement in this company to open his account. Ayr winner Nafa can race off a lower mark with an apprentice on board today and she may figure, while Circuitous should be thereabouts without being good enough to win. C&D winner Rightcar looks a bigger danger as he usually runs his race at this track and it's possible we haven't yet seen the best of London Avenue as he makes his handicap debut.
