21st February


Afternoon all...

As Cheltenham edges ever closer the last chance for trainers to get a run on a decent quick track is today at Kempton.

We'll begin at the 1.30 @ Kempton

1.30 @ Kempton - Amigayle €25 place @ 5.8

Dovecote Novice Hurdle...Previous winners have arrived via Ascot & have recent winning form. Straight forward selection.

2.05 @ Kempton - Alfie Fits €50 win @ 9

Pendil Novice Chase...There's only one historical trend in this race and that is the Scilly Isle Chase @ Sandown three weeks ago, again an east selection

2.35 @ Kempton - Herecomesthetruth €50 @ 1.92

Racingpost Chase...Twenty runners in this handicap. I'm looknig for a no questions asked stayer in this race who has form at Kempton & Cheltenham and placed last time out. Three good value runners spring up from page 48 of my Racing Post but one I hold in the highest esteem is Phillip Hobbs' Lacdudal. Such an underrated horse for the sucess he's had, he's been lightly treated by the handicapper, Hobbs loves this race & it's at this time of year Lac wakes up and shows his best.

3.10 @ Kempton - Lacdudal €50 win @ 15.5
Lacdudal €25 place @ 4.2
Possol €25 place @ 3.8
Fleet Street €25 place @ 4

Adonis Juvenile Hurdle....Alan King is the major player in this contest looking back, his unbeaten mare Cosmea was sucessful on the flat and flat speed is crucial in these novice hurdles.

3.45 @ Kempton - Cosmea €50 win @ 4.8

Eider Chase....4 miles 1 furlong Grand National trial so the winner of this is worth an ante post shout for Aintree in April. Place form at Haydock is the big clue only one has that here.

3.30 @ Newcastle - Iwillrememberyou €50 @ 8.6

I'll do a review of last Sunday @ Leopeardstown tomorrow but good luck today folks and enjoy your Saturday
