9:00 Kempton Tips

Hint Of The Jungle was a beaten favourite over 7 furlongs at Southwell last time out and will welcome the drop in trip.

This horse has yet to win but has gone close a number of times. Placed second three times under today's jockey, Hollie Doyle. Placed in each start this year. Races off a mark of 59 with cheekpieces added for the first time. Decent each-way chance, with the only negative a slightly wider-than-ideal draw.

Probably should be on a hat-trick today. Won comfortably last time off 52, but on the previous start was only just denied despite blowing the start with the blindfold coming off late. He finished strongly to be beaten a short head. This mark is not beyond him. He won off it in 2024 and should be followed while in this form.

Decent form from the 5-year-old mare in the second half of last year. Good ratings and still on a good mark. She's had a nice break since December. I feel the booking of a good 5 lb claiming apprentice could suggest she's been showing good things at home.

Due Date is another long shot. He has been pants, running in C5 since two C6 wins in October last year, with the second of those being off a 62. It did get back to C6 in the latest run off a 60. Although still down the pack, it was an improvement and gets an each-way 4 places from me while running off a 57 today.
