Race Preview

MY ASTRA should be a big contender on the Polytrack on Monday as she makes her all-weather debut.

She was last seen signing off last season with a second-place finish in a Saint-Cloud Listed grade race.

It was three runs that she had last year, winning the first two.

My Astra is from a top yard and after her break, should return even stronger.

ROMAN MIST does have the advantage of some match fitness behind her after a run three weeks ago.

On that reappearance effort, she stayed in good form with a runner-up spot at course and distance.

Roman Mist should be even sharper having had that effort behind her. She banked four victories last year from 13 runs.

FLAME OF FREEDOM may be the pick of the rest in this 7-runner field as she is a former course winner.

There were three victories for her last year from eight appearances.

She is fresh from a runner-up place two weeks ago on her reappearance at Lingfield.

Flame Of Freedom could be there, although this is a much tougher task against some better-quality opposition.

Tip: ROMAN MIST 11/4

Ones to watch: My Astra 7/4, Flame Of Freedom 20/1 e/w

Race Preview

ROSE SEA HAS comes up in grade, but he is thriving at the moment having won the last twice.

Those were both handicap victories taken at Fontwell and then Wetherby.

The latest of those was secured comfortably and comes up 7lb in the ratings.

BALLINSKER is another that is seeking a hat-trick on Monday, so is likely to get involved on this one.

He will need to keep his nice progress pushing along after a win here over course and distance and at Chepstow.

Ballinsker also comes up in grade having been smacked with a 9lb rise by the handicapper. That’s a tough one.

ANNUAL INVICTUS won a couple of times earlier this season and one of those was at course and distance.

He was tripped with the cheekpieces for the first time last time out.

That resulted in a third-place finish for him at Ascot two months ago.

Annual Invictus is refreshed and capable of going well once again, so warrants respect.

GOLDEN BOY GREY has been in terrific form this season, winning three of his last five.

The latest of the wins was at Ascot three weeks ago and Golden Boy Grey was well on top of things at the finish so gets a 5lb rise.

MERCIAN PRICE returns from a break and the 2019 winner of this fixture is not to be totally dismissed.

Tip: ROSE SEA HAS 5/2

Ones to watch: Golden Boy Grey 15/8, Ballinsker 11/2

16:37 Plumpton Mares’ Handicap Hurdle Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 4
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 2m 4 1/2f

Race Preview

SAINTE DOCTOR peaked nicely last time out when comfortably taking a victory at Uttoxeter on her latest effort.

She has been going well over the fences and warrants respect to go well again.

In five efforts since a wind-op Saint Doctor has been in the top two in four of five efforts.

More will be asked of her as she comes up a further 7lb for Monday’s run.

PUFFIN BAY warrants respect as well and she has shown some progressive form.

There was a maiden hurdle success at Wincanton in November.

Her latest run saw her take a solid fourth at Ludlow four months ago.

Puffin Bay has been heading in the right direction and could threaten if she’s turned up following this break.

BROWN BULLET is a former course winner and while things haven’t been going her way, she is down to a fair mark.

There was a second-place finish by her last time out as connections tried her back around the 12f trip, which should suit her.

Tip: SAINTE DOCTOR 6/4

Ones to watch: Puffin Bay 7/2, Brown Bullet 11/2

15:30 Kempton Rosebery Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 2
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 11
Distance: 1m 3f

Race Preview

HASTY SAILOR makes a return after a break of six months and is seeking a hattrick as well.

It wouldn’t be a big surprise to see him in the picture.

Those wins last year came from four runs.

Hasty Sailor had plenty in hand when he scored his latest which was a handicap at Wolverhampton on a longer trip.

SOMETHING ENTICING has been a model of consistency and should have enough to feature at the business end of things in the Rosebery Handicap on Monday.

She is a former course winner.

On her final effort of the last campaign, Something Enticing was second in a Listed effort and has since moved yard.

DIAMOND BAY has some major proven form over course and distance, winning two of three efforts at C&D.

He picked up three runs last year. On his reappearance run, he produced the best of his career wins in a handicap here at Kempton.

Diamond Bay comes up 7lb for that success, but that was a big statement after a long break.

Tip: HASTY SAILOR 9/2

Ones to watch: Diamond Bay 7/2, Something Enticing 14/1 e/w

16:15 Huntingdon Handicap Chase Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 3 handicap chase
Age: 5-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 5
Distance: 3m

Race Preview

DANNY WHIZZBANG may take some stopping in this fixture he follows up with a similar performance to the last.

He was a runner up two weeks ago in a handicap hurdle at Ever.

Danny Whizzbang is going from a career-low mark and rates as a danger here.

INNISFREE LAD warrants some respect with the sights having been lowered a little bit.

There was a win for Innisfree Lad back in January and he performed superbly for a third-place finish in the Eider at Newcastle.

He was last seen in the Scottish Grand National last month where he was pulled up, but there were excuses there.

BOUGHTBEFORELUNCH looks as if he will be more suited to his effort than his latest run which was at Warwick last month.

That was a longer trip which looked to have pushed his stamina ability a little too far.

Boughtbeforelunch was a winner at Leicester on his penultimate.

Tip: INNISFREE LAD 4/1

Ones to watch: Danny WHizzbang 5/2, Boughtbeforelunch 4/1

Race Type: Class 2
Age: 5-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 2m

Race Preview

MICK PASTOR may well be worth a look in this contest as he is eased back from some tough Graded efforts on his last three runs.

The handicapping scene looks to suit him well and was stacking up the wins before he was sent into choppier water.

SEBASTOPOL was a winner on his penultimate run, scoring well at Kempton from an 8lb lower mark.

A follow up didn’t happen for him as Sebastopol fell at Ayr at the first on his latest run. As a handicap chaser, he still has scope.

RIKOBOY could be the pick of the rest in this contest as he looks to add to a win that was earned last time out.

That win was taken at Warwick three weeks ago.

Rikoboy comes up 6lb for that winning effort and more will be demanded here but he should be a player.

Tip: MICK PASTOR 5/1

Ones to watch: Sebastopol 9/4, Rikoboy 9/2
