Mack The Knife hoping to display his cutting edge at Kempton Park

- By GLENDALE

Mack The Knife opened his account with such authority last week that a follow-up looks on the cards in the Join Racing TV Now Classified Stakes at Kempton.

James Ferguson's five-yearold was having only his sixth start when he blitzed the field at Wolverhamp­ton.

It may only have been a moderate contest but the Australia gelding could not have done it any better and he should have plenty of scope for improvemen­t.

The step up to a mile and a half obviously suited and connection­s could have plenty of fun with him.

Diligent Harry should take a bit of stopping in the Unibet New Instant Roulette Novice Stakes. The Clive Cox-trained youngster was a short price first time up at Wolverhamp­ton last month and justified those odds with quite a taking success from 11-10 market leader Batraan, who came out to win subsequent­ly. Cox's charge will have learnt a bit from that, too.

Kestenna came forward from her promising debut to score next time and can carry on her upward trajectory in the Unibet Casino Deposit £10 Get £40 Bonus Fillies' Novice Stakes, with runner-up Lightning Lou boosting the form recently.

Julie Camacho's team has started to get going again and Chosen World can prove the point by taking in the Bombardier Handicap at Newcastle.

The seven-year-old landed a deserved success over this seven furlongs last month after several decent efforts there in the last few months. He has gone up 4lb but he has won off a higher mark in the past.

Who's In The Box can make his staying count in the Tunstall Handicap Chase at Catterick.

Nick Kent's seven-year-old took the Lincolnshi­re National at Market Rasen in game fashion on his latest start and his stamina knows no bounds. He also carries bottom weight which is a big advantage in testing conditions.

Maskada made all the running to score at Hereford and Newbury this term and similar tactics can provide the same result in the catterickb­ridge. co.uk Handicap Hurdle.

The five-year-old mare, trained by Stuart Edmunds, was dominant at Newbury when scoring by four and a half lengths. She found more when pressed by Miss Heritage from the second-last flight and pulled away on the run-in.

A 7lb rise in the ratings may not stop her from going in again.

Sigurd can continue his winning run in the Racing Post Gonorth Weekend 20-22

March Handicap Chase at Carlisle.

Joanne Foster's gelding has had a little break since notching up two victories at Catterick.

His latest success was by 39 lengths, yet the handicappe­r has taken a lenient view of that as only four of the nine starters finished.
