Just small but select field for listed Wild Flower Stakes over 12 furlongs on poly track at Kempton .

Four time group one winner DUBAI HONOUR  looks the class act in this field after winning the listed Churchill Stakes at Southwell earlier this month under 7lb penalty.Had previously won G1 contest in Australia ,also  finished second three times in G1/G2 races in Germany ,France & Australia this season.Has to concede weight all round here, though will be difficult to beat back in listed company.Guide Price 13-8 or bigger is very fair value .

Former G1 Futurity winner ANCIENT WISDOM , has decent claims on his best turf form, including winning the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket last season, also finished fair 2.5l second in G3 St Simon stakes at Newbury in October behind Hamish , has to respected on All Weather debut, though his form has dipped this season, hasn't won now for over 17 months . Looks worth opposing .

Of the others dual C&D winner SHADER , looks main danger on his excellent All Weather (record 1112) after finishing 1L second behind Dubai Honour in Churchill Stakes at Southwell when 4-7 shot .Will be suited returning to Kempton back over 1M 4F , though will need more improvement to beat Dubai Honour on same terms as the Churchill stakes .

VERDICT : 1ST DUBAI HONOUR : 2ND SHADER : 3RD ANCIENT WISDOM
