8:10 Kempton Tips

Chasing Gold just looks good enough to land one of these types of races before too long. Hasn't been far away of late, and the handicap mark is manageable.

The 3yo filly is still a maiden, but she has been a runner-up four times, including three races at this track. She was a close 2nd of 11 during October at this track. The front three pulled well clear of the rest in a fast-run race. She split two rivals rated 63+ that day, and she shouldn’t fear these rivals, who are rated 46??'55.

The sort who may benefit from a more aggressive ride, and not many have been winning from the back tonight. May get the run of the race.

Has been running keen in races, so cheekpieces are applied today. That can help her chance, and she looks on a winnable mark if settling better. She has had excuses in recent starts, and it all could come together in this race and get an overdue win.

Sir Rodney Redblood has been a bit out of sorts since third in October but has dropped to a 55, 2 lbs below his last winning mark. I like getting Harry Davies in the saddle to help out.

The yard is thriving, demonstrated by the 5-year-old's notable recovery with a solid 4th in the handicap at Wolverhampton 22 days ago. Expect this distance winner to be a key player again. Offering a promising each-way bet at 16/1.

No show @ Chelmsford Lto and although 200/1 in betting market they put up a decent performance here @ Kempton 6 runs back in a class 5 novice over 7f. Better @ this 6f as they showed on turf 3 runs back when taking a similar class handicap over 6f @ Yarmouth, on a decent mark of 52 here, under used jockey retains ride and very shrewd trainer is best here with his 4yo plus last 5 seasons @ 26 percent, making current 28/1 decent Ew value in the race.

MISS MOONSHINE is a proper 6f mare and has no form on grass, only artificial surfaces. A winner of four races, all at this leval and all pretty much in the winter months, there is already a case to be made. What I wouldn't choose is that the mare had a breathing op in a strange place, roughly 4-months after her last race and the same before this one. Ignoring that, one still has to accept the 8-month absence but this mare ran to 64 when winning her latest start and competes off just 47 tonight. At the price, a chance worth taking perhaps.

Drawn well in stall 5. 3yo Tasleet filly ran easily her best race yet on handicap debut at Chelmsford (6f) at odds of 100-1, finishing well late on. Finished only half a length behind Up The Monk there. Related to winners on the dam side. Interesting and unexposed.
