The Punt Daily: Tom Collins with two to follow on Monday

BANKER

Play The Ace(2.30 Kempton)

On paper this looks a trappy affair, but Play The Ace is a very solid selection in a race full of horses that need to answer questions. Winner of three of his last five starts, including fairly bolting up last time out when Dance Floor King finished third, Play The Ace has gone up 15lb since the first of those victories and was said to be going on a break before connections decided to rethink and take up this option. That's a pointer to his chances in itself and with Forever Field, Bishops Court and Breath Of Blighty needing to bounce back from poor runs last time out, as well as Volt Face's 7lb penalty kicking in, he could go in again.

EYECATCHER

Highway One O One (12.50 Kempton)

Potterman and Burrows Edge will be fancied in the market and that should make Highway One O One a backable price to defy a penalty in the novice hurdle. Despite failing to win in four Irish points, Highway One O One made his presence felt at the first time of asking on these shores when landing a Newton Abbot bumper in taking style in September, before following up in a competitive Plumpton maiden hurdle. He ran into one last time out, but this looks a much easier contest to the one he won at Plumpton and he should take a lot of beating.
