  • INFORM NEZAR EACH-WAY CLAIMS AT KEMPTON

    NEZAR is one of ten runners in tonight’s 7f handicap at Kempton (7pm) and the inform chestnut should be in the firing line again. A winner two starts ago at Wolverhampton, he was a good fourth, beaten just half a length last time out at Lingfield off today’s mark of 72. Drawn well in four today,… Read more »

  • CLASSIC STAR GOOD CHANCE OF DOUBLING UP

    CLASSIC STAR has a good chance of following up his last time out win with another victory today in the 5.30 at Chelmsford, a 7f handicap. Breaking his duck at the 13th attempt over course and distance, he ran out a  3 3/4 length winner under 5lb claimer Sophie Ralston and was raised 7lbs.  Today, Luke Bacon… Read more »

  • ELJADDAAF WELL HANDICAPPED AND OVERPRICED

    ELJADDAAF, who loves it at Kempton with five wins from 15 starts at the course, is well handicapped and looks a big price today in the 6.45, a 7f handicap. He’s one of eight runners and although drawn wide, needs to be held up, so that may not be an insurmountable draw.  Joey Haynes rides… Read more »

  • DANCINGINTHEWOODS RETURNS FROM CHILDWICKBURY STUD

    DANCINGINTHEWOODS following a holiday at Childwickbury Stud, has come back into training and he looks fantastic. The son of Garswood could not have made a better start to his racing career when winning at Newmarket on his debut over 6f last May.  Sceptics at the time might have thought his 50/1 victory was a fluke… Read more »

  • SPRING ROMANCE HAS TO OVERCOME CAR PARK DRAW!

    SPRING ROMANCE is drawn 10 of 11 in tonight’s 0-75 handicap over 6f at Kempton (7pm) and the “car park” draw is far from ideal for the five-times previous winner. He’s a horse who prefers to dominate or at least be handy and that’s going to be a tough challenge for jockey Joey Haynes to… Read more »

  • TRIP AND LIKELY PACE SHOULD SUIT THE DADDY

    ONE COOL DADDY looks an interesting runner for the yard in the 7.30 at Kempton tonight as the trip of a mile should suit as should the likely fast pace. The son of Scat Daddy is more than talented than his bare form would indicate and lightly raced, there could be more to come when… Read more »

  • TRIP AND COURSE DOUBTS FOR STABLE RUNNERS

    FIGHTING TEMERAIRE and LUCYMAI are both well handicapped but there are nagging doubts about their chances at Kempton today. The former is in a 6f handicap at 2.20pm and although he has won over the trip, it was a long while ago and most of his success has been over 7f.  He does have each-way… Read more »

  • VETERAN LANCELOT ON HANDY MARK

    LANCELEOT DU LAC may not be getting any quicker at the age of 10 but he’s looking dangerously well handicapped today as he looks to get back on the winning trail for the first time since April 2018 when lining up for a 6f handicap at Chelmsford, due off at 6.15pm. The 13-times winner has… Read more »

  • NEZAZ OVERPRICED AT LINGFIELD

    NEZAR goes in search of back-to-back wins when lining up for the opener at Lingfield today (12pm) and he looks overpriced at 16/1. The 9yo chestnut won at Wolverhampton two weeks ago and although there’s no doubt he likes the course, having won four times there now, he does have some form at Lingfield and is… Read more »

  • LAURENTIA A DRIFTER ON HANDICAP DEBUT

    LAURENTIA, makes her handicap debut today at Chelmsford in the 5.30, a 0-55 handicap over a mile and the daughter of Iffraaj is very weak in the market and has drifted out to 18/1. She is joint-top weight on 55 but has not shown a lot on her three outings to date when she has… Read more »
