Virgin Bet Supports Safe Gambling Handicap - Kempton

Sarab Star

J: Tom Marquand T: J Channon
Race Winner
42/25

Reason for Tip

Talented youngster from the Channon yard who had a good year last year including two wins and a second place here at Kempton. Has looked progressive and better for each run really and more of that is likely today too. Returns after 4 months off and now a four year old and looks absolutely the one to beat in this race today. Well drawn from stall 1 and likely to dictate from the front, if given an easy lead is going to be incredibly tough to peg back. Likes this course, yard are ticking nicely and has a top booking in Tom Marquand who has a fantastic record aboard Channon trained horses. Sarab Star looks the likely winner, not sure anything in this field will better him.

⭐ NAP of the Day

Speculateur – 2.20 Clonmel (5/4)

Trainer: Gordon Elliott
Jockey: Jack Kennedy

Low-mileage five-year-old Speculateur looks the standout on today’s card. A point-to-point winner prior to switching to rules racing, he has always shaped like a horse who would improve markedly once sent hurdling.

That step is taken today and he does so in a weak and ordinary race, which won’t take much winning. Gordon Elliott’s record with first-time hurdlers is excellent, and Jack Kennedy taking the ride adds further confidence.

Conditions should suit, the pedigree is right, and a significant step forward is expected. Anything close to his potential should see him win this.

Ballywood

J: Tabitha Worsley T: G Howell
Race Winner
19/2

Reason for Tip

Oldest horse in the field by a fair way is Ballywood at 12 years old. Hasn’t won in seven years but has gone close on a number of occasions including lto and is very well handicapped. Drop in trip today looks a big positive for a horse who’s ran good races lately but tailed off towards the end. Generally runs well at this track and the good ground is favourable for Ballywood. Sometimes in a weak race like the exposed can make a comeback and it’s hard to ignore the mark this 12 year old is now on. Will need the drop in trip to spark for win purposes but should run his race and at 14/1 is more than capable of contesting and does have a change today in the retained blinkers from last time over a trip that should suit. Interesting.

🎯 Dark Horse

Lemoncello – 2.10 Ffos Las (10/1)

Trainer: Venetia Williams
Jockey: Charlie Deutsch

Lemoncello is much better than his recent form figures suggest. A capable hurdler previously, he was sent chasing this season but suffered two falls — enough to knock confidence, but not ability.

Returned to hurdles today, he finds himself on a very attractive mark, back over his preferred obstacles and on soft ground that will play to his strengths. Venetia Williams’ runners often bounce back sharply in these conditions and Charlie Deutsch is a strong booking.

In a wide-open race, Lemoncello looks overpriced and is capable of a big run at double-figure odds.

Kingcormac

J: Taylor Fisher T: J Tickle
Race Winner
11/4

Reason for Tip

Pretty weak looking handicap here in the first at Hereford and despite now being on a career high mark following the win lto, Kingcormac looks the play to be making. Won in very nice style last time and generally runs very well at this course too, including a win back in December here. Trip is within usual firing range and ground is suited, largely reliable type who will make the running, particularly at Hereford. Yard are a small one, but a shrewd one and have been strong lately with a 40% strikerate in the last 30 days and of their three runners in the last couple weeks, two have won. Taylor Fisher retains the ride and Taylor also enjoying regular success at the moment with a 60% strikerate in the last month. Kingcormac is the one to beat.

Kittys Glance

J: Thomas Bellamy T: A King
Race Winner
4/1

Reason for Tip

Small field here in the 3.15 and one who looks capable of a big run at a nice looking price is five year old Kittys Glance. Has been disappointing so far really with form of 380 but has contested a Listed event at Cheltenham and so this company today is much calmer waters. Has been off since December and was both hanging left and jumping freely lto here at Huntingdon. Has had a wind op during the break and should help this youngster along with the fitment of a first time hood which should help her settle and focus. Represents a good yard in strong form and has a solid booking in Tom Bellamy. When combining, yard and jockey enjoy regular success. Kittys Glance is a nicely bred horse who’s definitely better than what we’ve seen, chance is taken on the wind op and hood revealing her true colours and could be heavily involved here.

Vol Royale

J: H Cobden T: K Woollacott
Race Winner
9/2

Reason for Tip

Pretty wide open affair here in the 4.30 and one who looks a very nice proposition today is six year old Vol Royale from the Woollacott yard. Completed a hurdle double two starts ago both here at Hereford before contesting a warm class 3 on handicap debut lto at Chepstow. Didn’t perform great upped in class that day but looks pretty well treated on this step down in grade back into Class 4 company. Goes up in trip by 3f which on pedigree looks fine and potentially even a positive and loves both the ground and track. Lots to like today for a horse from a small but successful yard and Vol Royale has the services of a very good jockey in Harry Cobden. In the last 2 years, when Harry has ridden Woollacott trained horses at Hereford, won 75% of races which is a very favourable statistic. Big chance today for this youngster to return to winning form.

Serenity Dream

J: Rossa Ryan T: A W Carroll
Race Winner
9/4

Reason for Tip

Five year old Serenity Dream can be a little inconsistent as a whole picture but he loves it here at this track. Two wins from three starts at the track and looks nailed on for another big run today. Wasn’t far away lto over C&D when second and remains on a very workable mark. Not the worst draw from stall 6 and this boy is pretty versatile to running position, won at this track from stall 5 previously. Race doesn’t look overly warm and has a decent jockey change today to Rossa Ryan. Rossa has a decent record for this yard and is no stranger to success at this course. Major player.

🍀 Lucky 15 Tips Today

Gino Bella – 2.50 Clonmel (4/1)

Consistent since returning with a third and a second in stronger races. Remains lightly raced and the 5lb apprentice claim puts her on a tempting mark. Conditions are ideal and this looks a great chance.

Celtic Art – 3.00 Taunton (9/2)

Impressive winner here last time and clearly thriving. Although raised 6lb, he remains well treated and returns under identical conditions. A repeat of that effort makes him a major player.

Allegrino – 5.30 Chelmsford (3/1)

Shook off a poor debut with a strong second at Kempton last time out. Open to plenty of improvement, represents a top yard and looks well placed to take a step forward again.

Mumayaz – 7.30 Chelmsford (6/1)

Consistent and versatile sprinter who drops back to 5f — a trip that suits. Usually finishes strongly and the race setup should allow him to come late. Always competitive at this level.
