Richard Hannon and Richard Hughes teamed up to win the main event yesterday at Kempton and can double up at this evening´s meeting with Lucky Redback, who has top-weight in the 7 furlongs handicap at 20.50 CET. This is however quite an open race and the lightly-weighted Dinner Date (Tommy Keddy/ Liam Keniry) and Billbury (Steve Williams/ Andrea Atzeni), both runners-up last time, could be dangerous. The race over the same trip for 3yo maidens at 20.20 could be quite informative. Point Out (John Gosden/ Robert Havlin) is the obvious favourite here; he was beaten a nose over this CD on his only start so far, back in October and seems to be highly regarded. However he is badly drawn, and Bohemian Melody (Marco Botti/ Jerry O´Dwyer), also a CD runner-up on his only start, may be an each-way alternative.
Betting forecast:
1. Race: Tuscan King - Just Mandy - Dr Mathias
2. Race: Jounce - Carioca - Miss Miracle
3. Race: Clairvoyance - Goolagong - Seminova
4. Race: Point Out - Bohemian Melody - Aqua Vitae
5. Race: Lucky Redback - Caprio - Billberry
6. Race: Sunny Spells - Colourful Move - Cold Turkey
7. Race: Drizzi - New World Order - Largem
8. Race: Red Current - Yakama - Herbert Crescent
There is an all hurdles-card at Thurles in Ireland this afternoon, and the interesting runner here is Black Harry (Willie Mullins/ Ruby Walsh), whose last run was at the Cheltenham Festival 3 years ago. He fell at the last then when still in contention, and if he is back to that form would have a clear chance here; he receives 10 lbs from Footy Facts (Robert Tyner/ PT Enright), who won a similar race only 4 days ago at Cork and has a fitness advantage now.
Betting forecast:
1. Race: Footy Facts - Black Harry - Go Sandy Go
2. Race: Lascalahall - De Bartishell - Code Of The West
3. Race: Cheer Up - Trumph Card - Bruach Na Mara
4. Race: Fennis Boy - Dun Masc - Ag Dul Suas
5. Race: Ballochroy - Monaco Springs - Caffeine Craze
6. Race: Keats Dream - Good Decision - Olifan D`Oudairies
7. Race: Lambro - Spruce Cottage - Lehaunstown
