nap 13.15: SMADYNIUM
nb 15.55: A LITTLE SWIFTER

13.15:

Catterick runner up SMADYNIUM should take all the beating in the opening contest on this 'all bumper' card. Donald McCain has saddled four winners in the last fortnight at the time of writing and Jason Maguire can boot home another winner for his boss. ROSSONERI should finish in the money again, whilst REGAL ENCORE is an interesting declaration.

13.45:

GOLDEN CALL and CRESSWELL CRUSADER appear to be the leading protagonists in the line up via the three 'recent' winners to date. GOLDEN CALL is a beaten favourite who is probably worth chancing again, though each way players might get involved in course and distance winner THE HOLLINWELL who represents Ferdy Murphy's in form team.

14.15:

Having finished 'in the three' in fifteen of his twenty seven races thus far, SIR TANTALLUS HALK probably appears as a surprise runner on this card to many readers. SMART ACT represents the colours of Trevor Hemmings and the six-year-old looks destined to become involved at the business end of proceedings.

14.45:

Seven of the fourteen declarations have delved high into the hundreds in terms of official marks down the years, the pick of which might prove to be OVERRULE, JOHN FORBES and SEVEIRO. As much as we want this meeting to take place, stewards will have to keep their eyes well and truly peeled for horses who are simply 'out for the airing' which could include 'umpteen' horses on the card.

15.20:

I'm not sure what price you could have obtained for nine time winner RECORD BREAKER contesting a bumper event this year at the start of the season though either way, Donald McCain has another winning chance on the programme. The declarations of AFSOUN and HALLA SAN add plenty of interest to proceedings.

15.55:

A LITTLE SWIFTER and HIMAYNA should dominate the finish of the contest in a weak event. I'm not at all sure that any of this quintet could be classed as 'swift', though A LITTLE SWIFTER would only need to run a little faster than of late to oblige.

16.25:

A poor end to proceedings which is best summed up by the statement that SOUND ACCORD and GLEN COUNTESS have undeniable chances of lifting the prize between them.

nap 14.05: CREEKSIDE
nb 14.35: DEVOTION TO DUTY (EACH WAY)

13.30:

I have to start by apologising for Friday's lack of service which was due to technical problems at my end, for which Oddschecker are blameless. CROSS OF HONOUR should make the long treck from Oxfordshire worthwhile as Charlie Longsdon seeks to saddled his first runner at the venue to winning effect. EBANOUR and KEALIGOLANE are the only other plausible gold medallists in the line up.

14.05:

Six of the last eight favourites have obliged in this event and with Jack Quinlan taking off a useful five pounds off CREEKSIDE, John Ferguson's raider looks set to score. Jack is a really good pilot in the making and having won on eleven of the thirty hurdlers he has ridden for the stable, the Catterick winner represents nap material in my book. Course and distance winner KIE is a threat despite looking exposed by comparison to the selection, whilst UNCLE BRYN cannot be entirely ruled out of the equation.

14.35:

DEVOTION TO DUTY is the each way call in the contest, albeit more obvious winners include the likes of DIZZY RIVER and ARCTIC COURT. Peter Buchanan's mount represents solid each way material from my viewpoint, especially as I know for a fact that the stable is intent of reaching fifty winners for the season, with forty already posted by Lucinda Russell thus far.

15.10:

More than the odd person here and there are expecting TARA ROYAL to run a big race judged on this morning's exchange activity. Jason Maguire's mount is entitled to plenty of respect from a win and place perspective, though ULTIMATE and GRACCHUS might hold too many guns for the seven-year-old on this occasion.

15.45:

Six-year-olds have won four of the last five contests, with just one unplaced vintage representative having contested last year's event in a thirteen runner line up. Thankfully, there are seven six-year-olds to choose from this time around, the pick of which will hopefully prove to be KOUP DE KANON, CRY OF FREEDOM and RUMBLE OF THUNDER.

16.20:

Half decent ground might stop Bold Sir Brian in his tracks here whereby STOPPED OUT and CHESTER LAD are preferred from a value for money perspective.

16.50:

Six renewals have slipped by without a winning favourite being recorded with four winners recently returned at odds ranging between 16/1 and 25/1. Hoping that punters enjoy better luck this time around, I'll take CAPE DUTCH, COTILLION and A BRIDGE TOO FAR against the field.

nap 17.10: MAN OF MY WORD
nb 15.30: CROWNING STAR

14.25:

Seven time winner HILBRE COURT has failed to land a race via his last 22 assignments, albeit four silver medals have been secured during the period. Trainer Brian Baugh has saddled three winners via his last 11 runners for good measure. The Iceman gelding ICE COLD BEX is capable of a much better showing than was in evidence last time out, whilst others worth consideration include RESPLENDENT ALPHA and course and distance winner BENEATH.

15.00:

There will be worse outsiders on the card that Scott Dixon’s FIELD FINNER I’ll wager, though more logical winners in the line up include DRIVE HOME and LUCKY DAN. The form of the course winner Drive Home has been well and truly franked as runner up Crocodile Bay came out and won next time out, whilst LUCKY DAN hails from Paul Green’s yard which sent out a winner last month. SPIN AGAIN is dropping down the weights and the Intikhab gelding should be winning again soon.

15.30:

Phil McBride has saddled two of his last four runners to winning effect, albeit his representative MALLT is arguably only third best in here according to the official marks. Six races have slipped by since CROWNING STAR gained his only victory though Stan Moore’s Royal Applause gelding has a second to none chance in this claiming event. I prefer the sire’s stock to contest races at around the six furlong mark but that said, nearly two hundred gold medallists have emerged from stock contesting races between seven and nine furlongs. Although Clean Bowled should be considered for third spot, the claiming jockey aboard DR ALBERT suggests that the top weight should be there or thereabouts.

16.05:

David Barron has saddled three of his last five runners to wining effect and the fact that the Yorkshire based trainer has sought out this chance for FASTNET STORM is a tip in itself. The six-year-old Rock Of Gibraltar has trod this path before now without troubling the judge but this looks a decent opportunity for the six time winner. Connections of the course and distance winners TRIP SWITCH and KNOWE HEAD will not fear the northern raider however as FASTNET STORM has only scored one during the thick end of the last two and a half years.

16.35:

SUPERPLEX appears to be one of the unluckiest maidens in the country after 10 fruitless efforts, other than to reward connections with three silver and three bronze medals. Unfortunately, these ‘successes’ have yielded an average of just £522.66 whereby connections are desperately in need for the Multiplex colt to get his head in front this time around. The potential party poopers on this occasion could turn out to be AL FREEJ and EL MCGLYNN.

17.10:

The represented trainers ‘boast’ stats of 5/35 in this event, with Scott Dixon claiming the plaudits with a personal ratio of 3/13. Beaten favourite MAN OF MY WORD is Scott’s raider in the toteplacepot finale and the Milk It Mick gelding is given the marginal call. Mick Channon (GABRIAL‘S BOUNTY) and Hughie Morrison (ABI SCARLET) are the other trainers to have saddled a winner of late.

17.40:

Fourteen races have slipped by since the last of three victories was recorded by BACHELOR KNIGHT and having won off offical marks of 65 and 60 to date, today's rating of 50 suggests that another success is on the cards. FLOW CHART and MEYDAN STYLE are the fairly obvious dangers.

nap 16.30: DISCOVERER
nb 15.25: MAJESTIC ROSE

14.20:

Low numbers tend to hold the call at Kempton these days and in a field just two short of the maximum number permitted at Kempton (14), the ‘edge’ is worth taking into account. SILVER LINNET drops down a grade and can go close from ‘trap five‘, whilst my other pair against the field consists of course and distance winners PORTHGWIDDEN BEACH (4) and DEVEZE (1). The overnight reserve nomination is awarded to BOBBYVOW (2).

14.50:

Three of the last six horses saddled by Pat Phelan have won whereby the ‘stripes’ of trap six representative SYLAS INGS could be seen to prominent effect. The four-year-old might prove to be one of the more interesting outsiders on the card. Others to catch the eye include DELAGOA BAY, TRECASE and LASER BLAZER. All four horses are drawn towards the inside of the track for good measure.

15.25:

MAJESTIC ROSE won here at Kempton on her debut and facing exposed types on this occasion (in terms of recent assignments), Mick Channon’s Imperial Dancer filly is fancied to score again following a five month break. If lack of fitness counts against the February foal, LADY CAPRICE is likely to be the chief beneficiary according to the gospel of yours truly.

15.55:

Unlimited will not take up this assignment following a lack-lustre effort at Wolverhampton on Monday and with Hand Painted appearing to be out of his depth in this grade/company, course and distance winners APRIL FOOL and RUSSIAN ICE appear to have SATWA LAIRD to beat. The last seven horses saddled by David Simcock have finished in the frame, stats which include four winners. With SATWA LAIRD also appearing to have the edge via terms and conditions, David’s recent Lingfield winner could have the edge.

16.30:

Derivatives was beaten at a ridiculous price yesterday, though stable companion DISCOVERER should score given the great form of the Gosden yard. Some people were disappointed that the recent 1/7 Lingfield winner failed to assert and draw clear but a win is a win in any language and as a confidence restoring exercise, the job was done. RIGHT DEVINE is an interesting type on his all weather debut whilst the Invincible Spirit filly PALE ORCHID is running at the top of her form.

17.00:

Mark Johnston’s beaten favourite Moataz would have been the call but for his withdrawal, especially as Mark saddled fourteen winners during the month of January! I leave the stats in place for you to consider regarding Mark runners over the next few days. David Brown saddled a couple of winners in December whereby the chance of CATCHY TUNE is respected alongside the likes of SPARTILLA and COTES DU RHONE.

17.30:

WHIPPHOUND makes plenty of appeal off today's mark whereby the four-year-old might hold too many aces for Peter Grayson's pair of representatives close home, namely RIGHTCAR and DINGAAN.

18.00:

KATMAI RIVER and VHUJON appeal as much as any of the other runners in the finale, with consideration also given to LASTKINGOFSCOTLAND and course and distance winner DVINSKY.

nap 16.00: DEW REWARD
nb 15.30: MACY ANNE

13.30:

Only David Evans (STEELCUT), Ron Harris (PERLACHY) and Scott Dixon (LA CAPRIOSA) have saddled winners during the last fortnight and their representatives will do for me against the field. Their aggregate stats during the study period are 11/73 (15.1%) against combined figures of 0/19 via the other trainers.

14.30:

Jamie Osborne has saddled five of his last seven runners to winning effect and the gelding operation on JERICHO could make all the difference, potentially improving the ratio further still. BOND STYLE has flattered to deceive to a fashion thus far, the Monsieur Bond colt having now reached his 'last chance saloon' from my perspective.

15.00:

Keith Dalgleish boasts a 25% strike rate in 2012 to date with eight winners saddled from thirty two representatives. MASTER OF DANCE can add to the tally, especially as the five-year-old is well overdue a victory. The Noverre raider is a five time winner and has secured three silver medals via his last five assignments. PATRIOTIC is the alternative suggestion on this occasion.

15.30:

MACY ANNE is the alternative option to COOL HAND LUKE in a race the pair should dominate, given that this pair of three-year-olds receive sixteen pounds from Polar Auroras.

16.00:

Aside from one hurdle event some time ago, DEW REWARD had never tackled this type of trip and the two mile distance appeared to suit the four-year-old down to the ground at Lingfield the other day. Charles Bishop retains the ride and the combination can be supported again. KIE is the obvious danger though Donald McCain's dual purpose raider will not represent any value for money.

16.30:

There should not be too much daylight between LUCTOR EMERGO and GABRIAL'S KING at the jamstick with this pair likely to dominate proceedings close home. COMPLEX is the only other plausible winner in the line up in a disappointing finale.

nap 13.30: MAE'S CHOICE
nb 14.35: EIGHT IS MY NUMBER

13.30:

Unless Gordon Elliott's 'secong string' Narjawa proves to be something out of the ordinary on his first start, stable companion MAE'S CHOICE is expected to get the better of LUCIA BAY close home in what should emerge as a 'match' as the runners turn for home.

14.00:

Another 'three runner race' at best as aside from BECAUSEWECAN, this race surely rests between SYDNEY PAGET and DONT BACK DOWN. Higgs Bosun's runner up effort looks good on paper, though Jim Goldie's raider was beaten thirteen lengths which tempers enthusiasm in no uncertain terms.

14.35:

If the trade press quote is to be belived, EIGHT IS MY NUMBER will be sent off as the outsider of three and should that prove to be the case, the old adage of backing the outsider would make some appeal. LIE FORRIT is much preferred to Blenheim Brook regarding the other two declarations. LIE FORRIT has lost his way to a fashion following rave reviews the horse was receiving a year or two ago, though fencing suggests that he could yet carve out a name for himself over the larger obstacles.

15.10:

4/1 bar one is the order of the day at the time of writing, with Wetherby runner up WHAT A DREAM likely to go off as a short priced favourite to follow up the recent victory. PROUD TIMES is likely to find one too good for him again, whilst SADDLE PACK should also be vying for the silver medal late doors.

15.40:

Catterick winner POSH BIRD could be fancied to follow up her recent success if the ground does not become too soft by flag fall but if testing conditions are in place at flag fall, MISTER MARKER and LOCKSTOWN would be preferred.

16.15:

Nine of the fourteen runners can be given an each way chance in my book and this is very much a race to adopt a speculative stance in my humble opinion. The trio that make most appeal are DUNDOCK, ALONG CAME ROSIE and FASHION STAKES.

16.45:

BIG WATER is attracting some semi serious money on the exchanges this morning whereby Lucy Alexander could receive yet more plaudits this afternoon. SHE WILL ROCK YOU and I'M A GANGSTER are the other two plausible winners of the finale. The only worry I have with BIG WATER, is that sire Saffron Warden's seven winner's to date have all prevailed on far better ground.

nap 14.55: ROEDEAN
nb 16.35: SIRCOZY (EACH WAY)

13.20:

Not too many people seemingly want to lay BETTY BROOK on her handicap debut, even though more likely winners in the field appear to be RUSSIAN BULLET and MISTER MACKENZIE. We still await the first successful favourite in this event following three renewals. All three market leaders have finished out with the washing thus far.

13.55:

Favourites come into the race on a hat trick and ASTERALES should head the market on this occasion. With Willie Musson having saddled seven of his last ten runners to finish 'in thre three' (no winners), the yard is due a change of luck. All three winners have carried weights of 9-4 or more thus far, whereby MAC FEDERAL and ROSE AURORA are also included on the short list.

14.25:

There is a ton of money in the positive queue for AVONVALLEY at the time of writing, whilst I can also report positive vibes for SUPER FRANK from more than one reliable source. SUHAYL STAR is the potential each way springer in the market as I write.

14.55:

Six of Jamie Osborne's last eleven runners have won whereby ROEDEAN can land her four-timer, mainly at the expense fo CHAPARELLE. Roedean's hat trick was achieved within a fortnight and the Oratorio filly can go in again.

15.30:

Although MODERATOR appears to be a worthy favourite, the powerful yards of Roger Varian (SHABORA) and Jeremy Noseda (BIBA DIVA) are represented which makes this a race to watch with an eye to the future, rather than a contest in which to become financially involved.

16.05:

Owner Dr Marwan Koukash has several chance on the card and his War Chant newcomer GABRIAL THE HERO can score at the first time of asking. SCATTER DICE is the chief threat with the chance of GOOD OF LUCK also being respected.

16.35:

SIRCOZY boasts a record of 3/9 under the all weather code, hailing from Gary Moore's in form stable which has scored with two of their last four representatives. SIRCOZY has also snared three silver medals away from turf which ensures he is my each way nap on the card. KAMES PARK and SQUAD other other win and place types to peruse.

nap 14.50: PORT HILL
nb 15.20: AD VITAM

13.50:

Keith Dalgleish has enjoyed a great first year as a trainer and Wolverhampton results have been especially kind to the ex Mark Johnston pilot. BLOWN IT is the latest stable contender at Dunstall Park and the course and distance winner should take the beating, despite the declaration of the recent dual winner DANCING WELCOMER.

14.20:

Eight-year-old course and distance winner STEELCUT has terms and conditions to suit, albeit this claiming event is an interesting event. HINTON ADMIRAL is another Dalgleish raider with a chance on the card whilst course and distance winner HAADEETH completes my trio against the field.

14.50:

Five-year-olds come to the party on a hat trick having won the last two of three renewals to date. We still await the first winning favourite, though the two top weighted five-year-olds BENEATH and course and distance winner PORT HILL should be thereabouts in both the market and in the subsequent contest. Four-year old BLACK ICEMAN is the fairly obvious danger.

15.20:

This is another race on the card in which we still await the first successful market leader following three renewals. The winners of this event to date have scored at odds of 12/1--10/1--9/2 and the trio that catch the eye at first glance are listed in order of preference, namely AD VITAM, MY MATE LES and PRICKLES. Micky Hanmmond is saddling winners for fun these days and AD VITAM stands out as the each way call from my viewpoint.

15.50:

David Barron's all weather runners demand plenty of respect wherever they run and course and distance winner ELIJAH PEPPER makes plenty of appeal under a decent five pound apprentice. STAR LINKS is yet another course and distance winner on the card to catch the eye, whilst THUNDERSTRUCK is the latest Scott Dixon inmate to be given an airing with win and place claims.

16.20:

There will be hundreds of inferior Class 6 races contested before the return of the turf flat season I'll wager with the likes of SENDALI, LUCKY DIVA and ROYAL BONSAI having been declared. Throw course winner BLUE COSSACK into the mix and we have a competitive heat on our hands.

16.50:

MEET JOE BLACK is seldom far away at the business end of contests whilst similar comments apply to AUNTIE KATHRYN and both horses will represent a little value for money in my book. MISS CATO and GABRIAL'S KING obviously attract most attention but at least one of the pair is due to get beaten, outside of a dead heat result in the finale.

nap 19.50: PASTORAL JET
nb 18.50: SUNNY SIDE UP

16.50:

A 'dead eight' contest which can be viewed from a positive and a negative stance depending on your point of view. The declaration of hot favourite CATS EYES reduces the potential number of places down from three to two, though odds become inflated accordingly. The pick of the other raiders are CHAUD LAPIN and SANNIBEL from an each 'bet to nothing' perspective. Bookmakers will be as desperate to get this pair out of the frame as much as they want the market leader beaten if all eight runners stand their ground.

17.20:

MEGALAGA is the each way alternative call to the likes of KING OF WINDSOR and THE MONGOOSE who are likelier winners in the field. MEGALAGA is poorly drawn (9/10) which tempers my enthusiasm in Kieran O'Neill's mount to a fashion.

17.50:

There is a lot of 'dead wood' assembled here though something has to win and my tentative trio against the field consists of EMERALD ROYAL, CAIRANNE and OCEAN COUNTESS. The three horses are offered in marginal order of preference from a value for money perspective.

18.20:

TUIBAMA and GONE BY SUNRISE make their handicap debuts in this event and have been well placed by connections to give them every chance of succeeding. LIQUID SUNSHINE is not one to rely on wholeheartedly despite his course victory here at Kempton last week, especially from a less than perfect stall position.

18.50:

FOUR BETTER cannot be completely ignored from an each way perspective, albeit more logical winners include SUNNY SIDE UP and TENBRIDGE. I nominated a 5/1 Richard Fahey runner to winning effect on Monday and SUNNY SIDE UP could repeat the trick in this moderate event.

19.20:

OCEAN LEGEND has claims from a win and place viewpoint from trap five (twelve declarations), whilst other well drawn runners such as TAMAREEN (1) and SANTEFISIO (4) have to be taken into consideration.

19.50:

Richard Rowe has his team in fabulous form regarding both codes of the sport and the trainer has saddled five winners at Kempton via just seventeen runners in recent years. PASTORAL JET is Richard's only runner until Monday (at the earliest) whereby the four-year-old is my nap on the card. BLUEBERRY FIZZ and JACKIE LOVE are the dangers.
