Kempton (AW) 5:30 Result

Bundok carries the highest OR (68) in the field and her recent form line 0533 shows she's races progressively, with a clear third last time out after a break. She's the class benchmark here, top-weighted for good reason, and drawn reasonably in stall 4. Hughie Morrison is a shrewd trainer with this type and Alfie Redman's 5lb claim helps make the weight workable. The rest of this Class 5 apprentice handicap is fairly weak - Unionville's form has tailed off with a 4 last time, Viviana and Chapman's Peak are similarly rated lower and have been below Bundok's level, while Superstorm is the bottom-weight but his best figures (4,6,6,4,1,2) suggest he's found a leniant grade recently rather than a true improver against this opposition. Orange Emperor's hood may help focus but he's rated lowest of the fancied types and hasn't strung together the profile to suggest a big step forward. Bundok looks the most reliable price the market may be underestimating slightly given her freshness (82 days since last run) - but fillies by Pinatubo out of a Bahamian Bounty mare often improve with a let-up, and connections look to have targeted this competitive-but-winnable spot. I'll back the class horse to prove too good for this modest assembly.
