Fairyhouse 2.40 Rathbarry & Glenview Studs Juvenile Hurdle (Grade 2) 2m
This looks a strong Grade 2 with some top talent on show including a few who ran only a few weeks ago at Cheltenham. The one we like TEAHUPOO skipped the festival to come here and not only could he be the best horse in the race but the extra 2 weeks off could make a big difference. He is unbeaten, winning all 3 of his races with relative ease including a Grade 3 at the track last time. He does have a 3lb penalty for that but he should still take plenty of beating.
Busselton had a great chance going into the Fred Winter but a mistake 4 out saw him lose momentum but it wouldn’t surprise me to see him bounce back here and I rate him as the main danger. The eventual winner of that race Jeff Kidder was very impressive but I feel it will take a lot to back up that performance here and 4/1 looks short enough.
Kempton (AW) 2.55 Unibet “You’re On” Fillies’ Conditions Stakes (Class 2) 1m
Just three horses head to post for this fillies stakes which is a disappointment. KESTENNA is the obvious one for John and Thady Gosden. This filly has looked progressive in three starts to date and if she improves again which is highly likely she should complete the hat-trick. I think however this is run her class will shine through and she is taken to have too much.
Lilac Road is the danger if there is one having finished fourth in the Group 2 May Hill at Doncaster last summer. She was disappointing at Newmarket but should put the run behind her. I think they’ll finish in betting order with Thank You Next most likely to be last of the three.
Fairyhouse 3.15 Fairyhouse Steel Handicap Hurdle 2m6f
Another big field for this year’s renewal and the trends seem to point to horses in the lower half of the weights. MILLEN TO ONE isn’t the biggest price in a race with this many runners but he looks an improver. His last win at Leopardstown looks solid form and Jack Kennedy looked as though he had more horse under him if needed. Off of a mark of 122 he should run a big race here and he has to be my main selection.
There are plenty of dangers in this, mainly a fair bit higher in the weights such as Lynwood Gold and AARONS DAY who will like the better ground and has solid form at this level to be competitive. Trainwreck gets to run off his hurdle mark of 129 so he could be dangerous if taking the return to hurdles in his stride.
Kempton (AW) 3.30 Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Conditions Stakes (Class 2) 1m
Frankel colt Mostahdaf is likely to be popular here given the manner of his victory on debut at Newcastle. He will need to improve on that to make it a perfect 2-2 here though and there is little of the way of value in his price. EL DRAMA has looked promising himself making a winning debut at Doncaster before shaping well in defeat at Lingfield. The form of that race has already started working out well and up to a mile I think he has a big run in him. I’ll be backing to win and without the fav as well.
Imperial Sands also made a winning start over C&D 19 days ago but King Zain will make sure he can’t dominate the same here so the feeling is he is going to need to take a lofty step forward to remain unbeaten.
Fairyhouse 3.50 Underwriting Exchange Hurdle (Grade 2) 2m4f
I had this between Beacon Edge and NOTEBOOK and with the former now a non runner it’s the latter that should take all the beating. He ran a cracker bumping into the well handicapped Mrs Milner at Cheltenham and while this represents a step up now into graded company he looks a horse that will keep progressing and if he jumps more fluently he looks sure to run a big race. There should be plenty of pace on and that will help him settle.
French Dynamite is a danger and he made the most of a good opportunity at Leopardstown last time. This is much more competitive so he’ll need to build on that to trouble the selection. Stormy Ireland is certainly talented and could ruffle a few feathers off the front but should set it up for a closer. Sixshooter could run well in the first-time cheekpieces and does look a bit overpriced all things considered.
Kempton (AW) 4.02 Unibet Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes (Listed Race) 1m
Ed Walker won this last year with Agrotera and he has another promising filly on his hands in the shape of VALUE TIP here. She is seeking a four-timer and really impressed with how she put the race to bed at Wolverhampton last time. She won over C&D prior to that and looks to have plenty going for her with further improvement a near certainty. She looks a Group performer in the making and I fully expect her to win this granted usual luck in-running.
Fooraat wasn’t disgraced at this level when last seen and has to be respected on return but she might just lack a bit of toe in the closing stages. Lavender’s Blue ran well when second at Lingfield but that form has been let down since. Dark Angel filly Leafhopper may emerge as the main danger as she is 3 from 4 and like the selection is very much unexposed.
Fairyhouse 4.20 Devenish Chase (Grade 2) 2m4f
Not the strongest renewal of this race but with plenty having questions to answer FAKIR D’OUDAIRIES looks a solid proposition if not feeling the effect of that run behind Allaho at Cheltenham. He didn’t jump well that day but that is likely due to Allaho stringing them all out and he did stay on well up the hill to get second. He has cracking form behind all the right horses and is due to get his head in front and this race looks a good opportunity.
Easy Game was last seen unseating behind Allaho at Thurles and skipped the festival, if bouncing back he will be dangerous. Battleoverdoyen is another who needs to bounce back to be competitive and may get it easy on the front with Ornua.
Kempton (AW) 4.35 Unibet 15 To Go Queen’s Prize Handicap (Class 2) 2m
Another favourite I’m keen to oppose here in the shape of Postileo. He is well bred and put it altogether to open his account on final start last campaign but he is up 8lb and this race has strength in depth. The step up to 2 miles is in his favour but he is tackling polytrack for the first time so will have to prove his effectiveness on it and is entitled to strip fitter for the run too so just looks a bit short to me. VIBRANCE obviously lacks the potential class of the fav but she is already a 4-time C&D winner and I think she’s more than capable off this mark having been given too much to do last time. Definitely a big run in her at a juicy price.
Starczewski is the one I fear most. He is chasing a hat-trick and impressed last time when the money was down. He is up just 2lb and I expect the market to speak positively about his chances in the run up to the race again. Prince Imperial is also worth noting but he might come on for this given we haven’t seen him since October.
Fairyhouse 5.00 BoyleSports Irish Grand National Chase 3m5f
Like the earlier handicap on the card the bottom half of the weights dominate the trends with 18 of the last 19 winners carrying under 11 stone. The favourites have an interesting record either not finishing or winning nothing in-between since 2012. Gigginstown look to have a very strong hand in this and RUN WILD FRED looks to be on a handy mark (140) after two very good seconds in hot races. He skipped Cheltenham where he was fancied in the handicaps for this and he should go very close carrying 10 stone 11.
Coko Beach is the main danger after winning off his current mark last time but Run Wild Fred meets him on far better terms even though I expect a big race from Coko Beach I think Run Wild Fred will have his number. A couple more at bigger prices now who could outrun their odds. MOYHENNA has run well behind Agusta Gold here before and the run behind The Big Dog looks good form and he is better off at the weights and nearly 3 times the price of his rival here.
The final pick is a bit more speculative but OPPOSITES ATTRACT has mixed it with the favourite Latest Exhibition and if seeing out the trip he could run a cracker at a huge price off bottom weight.
