Shaman Champion heads this seven-furlong Kempton affair on the all-weather surface rated clearly ahead of the chasing pack, and his form entitles him to take the lead on paper, though the standard-to-slow conditions mean nothing can be taken for granted. Sierra Sands is the most obvious danger, rated nine pounds below our selection but the pick of the rest on our figures, while Aigeas and Manly Fireball are closely matched and will not be far away if Shaman Champion fails to reproduce his best. Confidence is modest given the competitive nature of the race and the track conditions, but the rating edge is real and should count for something over this trip. The selection is Shaman Champion.
