Plumpton 2.25 I’d Like To Know comes from a yard that had 3 winners at this track yesterday , he is not straightforward ( tends to idle and the jumping can be a bit hit and miss ) so at around 2’1 is easy to swerve bet wise. The rest have plenty of question marks . A no bet race for me
Kempton 2.55 Dubai Honour is the rightful favourite on ratings & is taking. big drop from grade 1’s to this listed company , he did look to have gone sour though the last twice he has run in this country & I would want to see more evidence of well being before getting stuck in at such short odds. One that may be worth a bet ew is Flying Honours who was a very good juvenile & seems to have an issue on the one and only run last season. I always think it’s a positive pointer when the all powerful team he comes from keeps a lightly raced one in training at 4 and may be he can get back on track now gelded. Advised bet Flying Honours 1/2 pt ew @ 5’1
Kempton 3.30 Plenty of exposed types in this , the exception being Cello. Another 4 year old kept in training by a strong outfit. He raced a bit choke out on the return to action at Southwell a month or so ago , but there was positives to take from that much needed run and he was well backed too. He has winning form at this venue and takes a drop in grade. Advised Bet Cello 1pt win @ 7’2
Kempton 4.05 Al Barez was given a hopeless ride last time out , just given far too much to do. He has won when ridden from the front and if reverting to those tactics he would be a tough one to beat in a field of modest rivals. Advised Bet Al Barez 3/4 pt ew @ 4’1 firms offering 4 places
Kempton 4.40 Dragon Icon caught my eye at this track in February ( won the only other visit to Kempton ) when never placed to challenge , he tried 10f last time out & blatantly failed to stay ; returned to the mile distance & a further drop in the weighs should see a big performance. Advised Bet Dragon Icon 2pt win @ 9’4
Fairyhouse 5.00 The Irish Grand National and surprise , surprise the betting is headed by a Mullins runner , there is no doubting that Nick Rockett holds very good claims , but at 4’1 in such a big field does not tempt me whatsoever. Of the rest you could make a case for plenty , so its a race I am just going to sit out bet wise
