COMMUNICATOR

Kempton 6.00 WIN

With the scheduled jumps cards in the UK abandoned because of waterlooged tracks, we are forced to switch to all-weather flat racing for today’s tentative selection. Andrew Balding’s four-year-old son of Derby winner Motivator took a long time to get over a switch from the Newmarket yard of Michael Bell and a gelding operation. But he finished the turf season on a high, bolting up by nine lengths at Chester and then finishing an unlucky second in the prestigious November Handicap at Doncaster. He returns to Listed company today and, in a cracking race for the time of year, he faces his Town Moor conqueror again, Art Scholar. But a bigger danger might come from Roxy Flyer, who is well in at the weights and a proven performer on Kempton’s Polytrack surface.

TUESDAY: SIRE DE GRUGY WON

MONDAY: THE DRUIDS NEPHEW 3RD
