CHIPPENHAM is unlikely to be near the top of John Gosden's pecking order come the end of the season – but he should be able to get off the mark in the 32Red On The App Store Maiden Stakes at Kempton.

The Casamento colt should be suited be the extra couple of furlongs he tackles on this occasion and the race might not take much winning.

Last of eight when sent off favourite on his debut at Wolverhampton in February over an extended mile, he showed a good bit more last time out.

Out paced in the early stages back at Dunstall Park, he was ridden to be prominent a long way out in first time blinkers.

He stuck on gamely to finish third over an extended nine furlongs and with two furlongs more to tackle, he should not be far away.

Gary Moore's Gossiping is 6lb worse off for just a length and a quarter with The Warrior on their meeting last week, but there is every reason to believe he can confirm the placings in the 32Red Handicap.

Rapidly improving, that was his third win from just four outings this year and it came in the style of a horse who is really on the up.

Moore is wise to get him out under a penalty as the handicapper is likely to take a dim view of his most recent success.

Michael Bell's Big Orange ran another game race in Dubai and the trainer should be celebrating victory with Comprise in the Betway Maiden Stakes at Southwell.

Third of 12 in a Ascot maiden on debut in September, he was out again quickly at Haydock later that month when he was second.

The Pivotal gelding can be expected to have strengthened up over the winter and should take a great deal of beating.

David Elsworth only calls on Ryan Moore when he thinks he has a chance of winning, so the tip should be taken with Bishops Cannings in the 32 Red Maiden at Lingfield.

Placed on all three outings to date, the Cape Blanco filly has been found a very good opening by her veteran handler,.

Not beaten far in any of her races, she would not even need to improve to take the spoils.

There is £20,000 up for grabs in the Betfred Hurdle Series Final at Sedgefield and top weight Bollin Ace can oblige.

It is not hard to imagine Tim Easterby's mood deepening when he found out from the handicapper that his charge had been upped 4lb for his last run, though.

Two wins at Sedgefield showed he was finally getting the hang of things and upped in class for a decent event at Newcastle last time out, he looked like bringing up the hat-trick.

He had just taken up the running when he fell at the final flight so as well as missing out on some decent prize money, he also went up in the weights.

Whether the handicapper now has him in his grasp remains to be seen, but he could just still be improving.
