Promising sort looks a step ahead of assessor

Simon Dow's string have hit top form
6.10 Kempton

The Surrey-based trainer has saddled four runners in the last week for impressive form figures of 1711 and, with the stable going well, it is worth backing the class-dropping Dutiful Son.

The course specialist has four wins, a second and four thirds from only 12 runs at this track and, while all his wins have come at shorter than today's trip, he seems equally effective over a mile.
