Kempton hosts the evening action this evening. The quality is intermittent, but there are interesting runners throughout. Here are three in particular to keep your eyes peeled for.

Arzaak

The one for money this morning in the feature sprint at 5.45, Arzaak is dropping in grade to contest this £11,500 prize and arrives off a series of placed efforts in slightly better races.

He is still floating around the same sort of mark, but Lewis Edmunds claims 3lb off him this evening and his speed cannot be in doubt, given his wins so far have come at speed-favouring tracks in Catterick and Southwell.

Spring Cosmos

Rushing horses is not the Godolphin way, and Spring Cosmos might develop into a Group horse yet, but she seemed unready for the step up after making a winning debut and returns to calmer waters here.

The Charlie Appleby-trained filly has narrowly missed out on black type at Ascot and Deauville, but has improved with each run and she should be able to turn this novice stakes at 6.15 into a procession. The interesting part could be how impressively she does it and where she might go from here.

Magic Mirror

Mark Rimell started April with a 100 per cent record on the Flat but has not had a winner from 19 runners since, which is hardly a desperate run for a yard with his overall strike-rate on the level.

Magic Mirror could be the start of a nice book-ending to the year for Rimell. The four-year-old was second here last week behind a runaway winner and, with few obvious lurkers in this basement grade at 8.15, looks to have a sound chance from the same mark.
