Picks from the paddock – Wednesday 21/11/18
Racing Post NAP
18.40 Kempton
A fascinating contest with some major yards and owners represented here for this valuable prize. The William Haggas trained Victory Bond looks the one to be on here. A real all weather specialist who saves his best form for these types of occasions. He has won three of his last six starts and was runner-up in a further two so expect to see him go close once more this evening and with the unstoppable James Doyle in the saddle, he is the confident pick to land the spoils.
The main danger is Flaming Spear who has proven form on artificial surfaces, has the assistance of Robert Winston in the saddle and he could easily bounce back to form to give the selection the most to think about.

18.20 Wolverhampton
The feature race of the evening card at Wolverhampton plays host to a number of course and distance winners making for a fascinating contest. Bamako Du Chatelet is hat-trick seeking after two impressive wins in a similar grade, but both of those wins have been over further and he will likely need every single yard of this with a strong pace not guaranteed. Illey Boy won impressively at Kempton recently and warrants respect having won at the track before, but he has a 6lb penalty to contend with here tonight, which might just leave the door open for the ultra-consistent, Calvinist to land the spoils here. He has found his form on this course and loves it round here. Clifford Lee takes the ride here and his 3lb claim could make the difference as he aims for his second win of the season. He led here last time out for a long way before fading close home when runner-up over 1m6f and he shaped that day as if this drop in trip is exactly what he needs so he is the confident pick.
