Timeform Daily: Thursday, Kempton 16:00

Racing takes place at Kempton on Thursday.

Timeform provide a runner-by-runner guide to the 16:00 at Kempton, a handicap chase over three miles...

Pete The Feat made further progress, despite winning spree coming to a halt, when third in a valuable staying handicap at Warwick last month. Likely to go well again, despite further 3 lb rise.

Prince Of Pirates improved when dead-heating for second chase win in a 23f Leicester handicap a year ago. Fair third on reappearance in November, but needs to bounce back from lesser effort in Ireland last time.

Alvarado got back on the up when going in again at Wetherby (2m) in October. Not disgraced off revised mark at Newbury in November, shaping as though return to 3m would suit, so one to consider.

Top Smart bettered hurdles form first time of asking over fences when scoring at Worcester (23f) in May. Respectable third in a Wincanton handicap on belated return last month, but this demands more.

State Benefit got back on track when running out a game winner at Sandown (3m) in December, but quickly back in the doldrums at Newbury in December, and difficult to know what to expect here.

Baile Anrai scaled new heights when scoring at Market Rasen (25f) in April, but below par in handicaps either side of that, beaten some way when fourth over C&D in January. Tongue tie reached for now.

Renard d'Irlande was a dual hurdles winner who has run well all 4 outings over fences, unfortunate to bump a into a resurgent rival in a 21f Cheltenham handicap recently. Likely to go well again if staying this far.

Storming Gale was tongue tied when opening chasing account at fourth attempt at Bangor (3m) in February. Back at that level when fourth in a handicap at Musselburgh in December, but others more reliable.

Moleskin snapped long losing sequence with ready win in blinkers over C&D 13 months ago. Shaped well in this headgear on belated return at Wincanton in January, and claims if building on that.

Circus Of Dreams was twice successful in handicaps at up to 3m in headgear in 2011. Needed race when returning from a year on the sidelines at Leicester in December, but never won off a mark this high.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Pete the Feat
2. Moleskin
3. Renard d'Irlande

Timeform Verdict: Pete The Feat continued his remarkable progress when going down fighting in his bid to complete a six-timer at Warwick in January, and has sound claims of enhancing his terrific strike-rate. C&D winner Moleskin and Renard d'Irlande may fare best of the remainder.
