Metkaif makes plenty of appeal on handicap debut in the 6.10 at Kempton today.
Richhard Hannon’s charge shaped with plenty of pormise in three quick runs in October/November, most notably in the last of those when a 3 3/4 length fourth of 11 to Statehood at Lingfield
The runner-up On The Warpath has won twice since to be rated 92 and Sherrif, who came sixth, went to to bolt up by 6 lengths on handicap debut off a mark of 69.
That gives the form a solid look an suggests and opening mark of 75 for Metkaif is exploitable.
He has also since been gelded and looks a potential improver now going down the handicap route.
From a good daw in stall one, and with Tom Marquand in the saddle, he looks to have plenty going for him.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 3pts win Metkaif (6/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
