Declared Runners: 10
Distance: 1m 4f

Race Preview

HAMISH is expected to get involved in this one and he is a former course and distance winner. He opened the season with a reappearance score.

The smart gelding was not seen to the best effort when taking on the Long Distance Cup last time out at Ascot a couple of weeks ago.

Hamish is dropped in trip for Monday which should help him target a bounceback performance.

ALOUNAK is another smart one who warrants respect for this Listed contest.

He was well beaten on his latest effort as well, which was at Ascot.

He’s a lot better than that as an excellent score in the summer at Haydock showed.

If he can rediscover his top form then Aluonak has the ability to make an impact.

JOHN LEEPER is another to watch for the shortlist in this one as he will be stepping on to the Polytrack for the first time.

There have been good performances from him this year, including taking two wins from five efforts.

He was at Listed level 38 days ago when he was third at Newmarket. John Leeper can get in the frame.

Tip: ALOUNAK 6/1

Ones to watch: John Leeper 17/2, Hamish 2/1

15:40 Kempton Handicap Horse Racing UK Tips

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

Race Preview

This is the London Middle Distance Series Final Handicap and so we have a fascinating field to cut our way through.

KEEP IT BRIEF needs to bounce back a little bit after being a bit below par the last twice.

He smashed a course and distance field by 7 lengths earlier this year. Since that summer score Keep It Brief hasn’t been the same, but revisiting Kempton may bring the best out of him.

PISTOLETTO is in great form at the moment with two wins recorded in his last three.

The latest of those was at course and distance a month ago.

There was a quick gallop in that one which suited Pistoletto perfectly. Pistoletto is thriving at the moment and can’t be counted out.

MARCH LAW is the other to make it to the shortlist for horse racing betting on Monday.

On his penultimate run, he was second over course and distance in a handicap.

Heavy conditions tripped up him at Salisbury on his follow up effort, but his all-weather form stands out.

Another to keep a keen eye on is MARCHING ARMY who won a course and distance effort 40 days ahead of March Law. That was Marching Army’s second win this year.

TIP: MARCH LAW 7/1

Ones to watch: Keep It Brief 15/2, Pistoletto 5/1

16:10 Kempton Fillies’ Handicap Horse Racing Tips & Odds

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

Race Preview

The promising SKY BRIGHT rates as a big danger in this contest as she has won three of her last four efforts. It has all come good for her recently.

The latest of those victories was 38 days ago when scoring in a small field at Haydock. She’s thriving so has to enter calculations.

PRETTY SWEET is a super competitive at the moment and she got herself off the mark in September at Bath.

It’s been back to back runners-up finishers from her since then.

The mark for Pretty Sweet has been slowly creeping up. But she looks to have plenty of potential still on her side and gets on the shortlist.

SPRING GLOW is the other to make it to the shortlist for horse racing betting in this one. She does have an extra 7lb to work with.

That is because of a score in a handicap here at Kempton a month ago.

That comfortable win sees her stay in a very good mood and despite the rise, can’t be dismissed.

Tip: SKY BRIGHT 13/2

Ones to watch: Spring Glow 4/1, Pretty Sweet 9/2

Race Type: Class 4 handicap
Age: 3 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 12
Distance: 1m

14:05 Kempton Handicap Race Preview

BELOVED was last seen in action three weeks ago here at Kempton when she wasn’t quite on her game.

Still, she took a third-place finish in that one at a shorter 7f trip.

With Beloved moving back to the 1m trip then she should rate a danger in this one. She did finish well last time out, but the race just wasn’t in her favour overall.

BRAINS is another of the expected strong contenders for this challenge.

He is right on his game at the moment, not having been out of the top two in any of his last four.

That includes back to back handicap wins at Lingfield and Ffos Las.

With Brains being a course and distance winner, there’s every chance that another big effort is going to come from him.

TOP CLASS ANGEL may be another to put things together well on Monday in this contest.

He has been in the mix in each of his last four runs, including a victory at Chelmsford in September.

Top Class Angel was second at the same venue on his last so stays in excellent heart.

Tip: TOP CLASS ANGEL 13/2

Ones to watch: Brains 3/1, Beloved 7/1

14:45 Plumpton Handicap HUrdle Horse Racing Odds

Race Type: Class 3 handicap hurdle
Age: 3 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 12
Distance: 2m 4 1/2f

Race Preview

HELL RED could be one to watch on Monday at Plumpton in this handicap hurdle as he has put a reappearance run under his belt.

That was a fifth-place finish in a Chest Pwo handicap three weeks ago.

He should be a lot sharper for having done that. Hell Red comes from the yard which has won this race the last twice.

He will likely be finely tuned up for this contest.

Another who should launch a strong bid is THE BOMBER LISTON.

He collected a superb victory at a Uttoxeter maiden a month ago. That was on this trip so that puts him right in the mixer for this.

The Bomber Liston got that Uttoxeter score by a comfortable margin and there is probably more to come.

RAF TAVEL was in good consistent form last season, including a win in France on his final effort over there.

He put in credible runs for his first couple of UK runs following that for a new yard.

This is the reappearance run for Raf Travel and he comes up on a trip and looks like an interesting contender.

Another to keep an eye on is BARD OF BRITTANY.

He won over course and distance in May on his latest trip. Bard Of Brittany has gone well fresh before and is from a yard that has had recent success in this fixture.

Tip: BARD OF BRITTANY 15/2

Ones to watch: THe Bomber Liston 9/4, Hell Red 9/2

15:45 Plumpton Handicap Hurdle Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 3
Age: 3 year olds plus
Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 2m

Race Preview

This looks to be a wide-open contest. KING’S PROCTOR should have a chance in this one as he tries to improve his hurdles form which is fair at best.

The move back to a 2m trip and the cheekpieces could put him in the frame.

Any show of improvement from his average handicap debut at Worcester could see him in the mix.

MR JACK has won four of his last five runs. He is 1lb up on his return after scoring at Fakenham in March.

He should have claims if he turns up dialled in for this contest.

Two of his last four wins have been over the course and distance, so he has to rate them as a danger.

SEA PRINCE has started to come good as well. He landed a victory at Cartmel in the summer, for his second career win over the hurdles.

He wasn’t far away when he rattled the crossbar at Hexham on his follow up two months ago.

Sea Prince comes up 4lb from his latest effort and warrants respect.

Tip: SEA PRINCE 3/1

Ones to watch: King’s Proctor 6/1, Mr Jack 11/4
