EIGHT go to post for the 0-95 7f handicap at Kempton tonight (7pm) and that’s good news for each-way backers so Eljaddaaf looks interesting at a top-priced 5/1.
Roman Spinner is a non-runner, so the “dead eight” go to post and the course and distance winner, although drawn eight, could defy top-weight under Jack Duern. Eljaddaaf has also won at the course three times over 6f, so although he needs to improve to win off 95, it’s not a forlorn task. Exchequer and Happy Escape look two of the main dangers.
An hour earlier at 6pm, Hello Girl is a 14/1 chance in a 0-75 6f handicap under Rob Hornby. On the form of her Conditions third two runs ago over course and distance, the Bated Breath filly would have an each-way squeak but she needs to defy a wide draw in 11. Mont Kiara with Adam Kirby aboard and Soar Above look big threats in an open contest.
