William Hill Keep Your Raceday Positive Handicap Stakes (London Stayers' Series Qualifier) (GBBPlus Race)

Barenboim holds a narrow edge over the chasing pack on our figures, sitting narrowly ahead of An Bradan Feasa and Naval Tribute, who share the same rating and represent the principal dangers alongside Flash Kozo, each capable of making this competitive over the extended two miles on the Kempton Polytrack. The standard-to-slow conditions and the stamina test of sixteen furlongs should suit a staying type, and Barenboim’s superior rating gives a slender but genuine reason to side with him, though the closeness of the form figures means the contest is far from a formality. Our selection is Barenboim.
