GOLDEN STRIKE (6.55, nap) should be able to pick up where he left off last term in the Yorkshire Accountants Ripon Novice Stakes.

Third to a big-money buy on his initial run at Pontefract, Richard Fahey's three year old did not help himself that day by starting slowly and swerving in the initial strides, running very green in the finish too to be beaten a length and a quarter.

But the son of Calyx righted the record the next time at Ayr in an eight-runner maiden.

And the mount of Billy Garrity might not need to improve too much again to take this heat.

At Kempton, put your faith in a LOCAL HERO (7.15, nb) in the Unibet Support Safe Gambling Handicap run over seven furlongs.

The Richard Hannon-trained chestnut colt is a course winner over a mile at the Sunbury track, when ridden by today's pilot Sean Levey.

In his latest outing, the son of Phoenix Of Spain finished second of 11 at Wolverhampton 53 days ago and he can turn that promising run into a victory against 12 rivals as he tackles handicap company for the first time.
