iiii - KEMPTON 6.00 - TEBAY 6-1 - Winner last time despite jockey dropping reins , came from long way back to win and has Kempton form. Trainer won this race last year and P J McDonald on board. WINNER well placed entering straight and blasted away . EASY FOLLOW
iii - DONCASTER 2.05- EVAS OSKAR 8-1- Tough race but this one beat a lot of good horses last time including CLYNE and could still be ahead of handicapper. 3RD at 12-1 outclassed
ii - KEMPTON 8.00 - VOI - 7/2 - Got left at start at sharp Lingfield but still finished 2nd, this course suits better and he is C/D winner off same mark. LOST never got into race
i- CHELTENHAM - 1.50 - LALOR-11/2- Ran a tremendous rce last time just missing out in a 3 way photo thriller. Hoping that hasnt left its mark and he gets more luck today. 3RD AT 6-1 just missed out again in a good three horse finish

Going for my third 4 Candle rated horse winner on the trot and looking to going further up.
iiii - SANDOWN 3.00- GOLAN FORTUNE 7-1 - 2nd in this race before off only 2lb lower mark and looked well in control last time when winning. LOST DANGERS- GO WHATEVER 10-1 2ND AND BROUGHTONS ADMIRAL 33-1 LOST
III- MUSSELBURGH 2-05 - MIRANDA - 3-1 - Looked really classy when winning last time and hoping she can cope with 9lb rise. 3RD AT 5-1 Looked all over winner but ran out of it late on DANGER - SIR CHAUVELIN 11-2 LOST
ii - KEMPTON - 8.15 - MISTRESS NELLIE 7-2 - Won very cosily last time and Hollie Doyle in tremendous form. NON RUNNER
i - WETHERBY - 3.23 - ALWAYS RES0LUTE - 8-1- Useful flat horse who won some nice races last year, worrying he has been off for so long but headgear off and usually wins when that is the case. LOST Battled on well FOR 5TH but easily beaten DANGER -FLORRIE BOY 7/2 LOST

KEMPTON
6.45 - JAM SESSION 16-1 OUT TO 40-1 but didnt run a bad race in 5th
Good racing today but two very short priced at NEWBURY in ALTIOR and NATIVE RIVER narrowing the field for value winners. But here goes:-
iiii - NEWBURY 3.35 - NOT SO SLEEPY 7-1 - Won two good handicaps by huge margins and hit with 18lb rise. However talked about as Champion Hurdle contender and so would have expected a non handicap run. Trainer sticking to handicap company with such a big rise suggests he still thinks he hasnt got to the bottom of this horse. As Daphne said below, I didnt realise £100k bonus up for grabs. LOST probably wouldnt have won but done no favours by starter Danger - THEBANNERKINGREBEL 10-1 LOST and WHOSHOTTHESHERIFF 25-1 LOST getting 18lb for 14 length beating by selection. SIR VALENTINE 16-1 also getting huge turnaround with selection. 4TH
iii - LINGFIELD 2,20 - SPIRIT WARNING - 9-1- Needs to be ready first time up after break but polytrack record 2111 and back to last winning mark . LOST in bunch finish
ii- WARWICK 3.15 - GENEROUS DAY 12-1 - Loves this course whwer he has won twice before and won good race at Kempton before flopping at Cheltenham which I dont think he liked. LOST DANGER- BELAMI DES PICTONS -7-2 LAST
i- WARWICK 2.40 - COPPER GONE WEST 6-1- Came up against a good horse last time with INDEFAGBLE way behind. Value at the prices 2ND AT 11-1 winner did turn the tables.

1.50 - VIVE LE ROY 15-2 LOST and DOLPHIN SQUARE 6-1 2nd 7-1
Having a bad February so dont put too much store behind these.
iiii - HAYDOCK 3.15- LORD DU MESNIL - 11-2 - Meeting a lot of seasoned campaigners and up 10lb from last time which brought up the treble. Still hoping he is under exposed and his last two wins over this course. 2ND brilliant run only to get mugged on line , coming wide didnt help.
ALSO FANCY small on POBBLES BAY 25-1 LOST
iii - ASCOT 2.25 - DOMAINE DE L'ISLE - 4-1- Sounds like my 4 candle rating, no not going on names but form. Also just notched a hat trick and last win on this course over a shorter distance. however he came late that day and would have won by ore if this distance. Again hoping he is still ahead of his 6lb rise. LOST didnt jump well enough when push came to shove
ii- WINCANTON 2.12 - CLOUDY GLEN -7/2 - Might be two late on the two above as 4 timers a bit rare but this one been a bit unlucky recently after good Haydock win. First ran out and then caught late on over 3m. Back in trip he should get home this time . NON RUNNER
i- ASCOT 3.00 - MYPLACEATMIDNIGHT - 12-1 - Looked all over winner last time before bad jump at last allowed LIMITED RESERVE to get to him. That horse a big winner last time and hopefully so will this be. LOST, winner was stable mate
