Vibrance on course for fourth Kempton success

distances and with plenty of racing.

She only made her debut in June, but now has the experience and know how to make an impact over long distances.

Having already gone up a total of 10lb for those two victories, another 5lb rise is unlikely to halt her winning sequence in the 32Red Handicap.

Godhead was a shade unlucky to lose his unbeaten record last time out and can regain winning ways in the 32Red Casino Novice Stakes.

It looked like he was coming through to win his race at Wolverhamp­ton in

December, when he was accidental­ly hit over the head by another jockey’s whip inside the final furlong.

Though he kept on, he must have been put off by that as he went down by a neck by The Met.

John Gosden’s fouryear-old colt returns to Kempton, where he had made a winning debut the previous month.

That race was over a mile, but he had it won some way out and the step down to seven furlongs looks a logical step.

Rajman won over the seven furlongs on this course last month and should take some stopping in his bid to double up in the Bet at racingtv.com Handicap.

He gamely stuck to his task to hold Itmakesyou­think by half a length, and it would be no surprise if Tom Clover’s four-year-old son of Zoffany followed up.

Glitter Queen should have enough about her to get off the mark in the Bombardier Golden Beer Maiden Auction Stakes at Lingfield.

Marco Botti’s filly was seemingly not that well fancied on her racecourse debut at Kempton last month as a 14-1 shot, but shaped with plenty of promise to finish third despite showing signs of greenness.

She can only improve on that performanc­e and with the step up to a mile likely to suit, she should prove hard to beat.
