Mbappe holds a progressive profile that makes him an appealing alternative to the top-rated Ocean Force, even though our ratings place him narrowly behind the head of the market on paper, and it is that upward trajectory rather than raw figures alone which justifies the preference here. Ocean Force and Knightmare are the most obvious dangers given their loftier ratings, while Calaxy also merits respect in what is a competitive Class 6 contest over this mile trip on the Kempton all-weather. Confidence is modest, and punters should be aware this is not a race to get carried away with, but a horse still finding improvement is always worth siding with at this level. The selection is Mbappe.
