2m Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Handicap Chase (Grade 2) (Limited Handicap Chase) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+)
THISTLE ASK looks the most natural Kempton type in this field as he will go from the front and make this a real test of jumping. He beat Saint Segal last time out - who has gone on to frank the form and get hiked in the handicap - and that's clearly the best form on offer. You need some class to win a race like this and he's still running like an unexposed chaser. I don't think the favourite is a good price at all as he was entirely unfancied last time and has a 6lb hike in ratings to overcome.
1.5pts win Thistle Ask @5/2, 14:30 Kempton, Saturday
