Race Preview

LUCKOFTHEDRAW missed out on a hattrick chance on his latest effort. That was a second-place finish at Newcastle three weeks ago.

But he has kicked back into form for a new yard and should have more to bring to the table.

Luckofthedraw was well ahead of anyone behind him at Newcastle.

NOT A ROLE MODEL could have a say in this one. He has been a good one over both the fences and the hurdles.

He was a little unlucky to bump into a big progressive one on his reappearance two weeks at Chepstow in a chase.

Not A Role Model should be in the frame.

DEFUTURE IS BRIGHT started to show very well over the fences last season. There were a couple of wins for him.

This season hasn’t seen him in such good heart, but there was a hint of a revival with a third last time out. The blinkers are tried for the first time.

Tip: LUCKOFTHEDRAW 4/1

Ones to watch: Not A Role Model 7/2, Defuture Is Bright

TINY TANTRUM makes the switch to handicapping in this one and could have something to offer.

There was reasonable form from him in the bumpers. While he’s still finding his feet over the hurdles, the first-time visor could help.

THE KINT IS TIED last won in October here at Fakenham. That was the second career hurdle win for him.

There have been a couple of struggles since then at Aintree at Uttoxeter, but this is a fairly thin field and The Knot Is Tied should be involved.

MOSSING is another that could have a shot here. She returned from an absence to finish down the field at Uttoxeter a month ago.

But Mossing is entitled to come on a bit from that to get herself in the frame.

LELANTOS is the other for the shortlist. He has produced strong runs the last two times.

Those were a second-place finish at Fontwell and then a win at Southwell. He is carrying strong form and could be the way to go.

Tip: LELANTOS 5/4

Ones to watch: The Knot Is Tied 11/4, Mossing 18/1

13:50 Fakenham Stayers’ Handicap Chase Horse Racing Tips & Odds

Race Type: Class 4 handicap chase
Age: 4-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 3m 5f

Race Preview

JONY MAX has really found the fences to his liking this season. He opened with back to back runners up spot, before landing a win at Wincanton just over two weeks ago.

The staying distance in this one should not trip him up and Jony Max looks like being a strong threat in this one.

FACT OF THE MATTER returns to this level looking for a little bit of a revival.

He was going well before he was totally underwhelming at Cheltenham on his latest. Fact Of The Matter is a five-time chaser and could get back on track.

UNO MAS has found some great form winning three of his last five efforts. He is up only 1lb from the latest win which was at Huntington 7 weeks ago over the hurdles.

So far in his career, he’s been better over the timbers than the fences but not to be dismissed.

Tip: JONY MAX 13/8

Ones to watch: Uno Mas 11/4, Fact Of The Matter 5/1

Race Type: Class 4 fillies’ handicap
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 7
Distance: 1m 3f

Race Preview

PRETTY SWEET has not been out of the top three in any of her last six efforts. The first in that sequence was a win at Bath back in September.

Pretty Sweet has remained well in form with a runner up spot claimed three weeks ago on her latest at Wolverhampton.

She’s one of the leading contenders here.

CROWN POWER is capable of putting up a big challenge in this one. She is a former course and distance winner.

It was a second over C&D that Crown Power took on her latest run, which was 48 days ago in a handicap. She kept on well there and will threaten.

SANTA FLORENTINA stayed on well on her latest effort, which was her first for a new year.

That was a minor event here at Kempton but did a good job in taking a runner up spot. She Could build on that.

Tip: SANTA FLORENTINA 11/1 e/w

Ones to watch: Pretty Sweet 5/4, Crown Power 13/8

Race Type: Class 4 handicap

Declared Runners: 8
Distance: 7f

Race Preview

DIAVOLO is still a maiden after three efforts. She makes her first run for a new yard on Sunday and should have reasonable claims.

The latest effort from Diavolo saw her finish well down the field at Leicester.

FLATLEY gave a good account of himself to take runner up for two weeks at Wolverhampton on what was his all-weather debut.

He was only narrowly touched off there and should rate as a big danger on Sunday.

MOOSMEE has been helped out by the handicap in this one by the looks of it. It’s been two wins from six runs this year by him.

He failed to perform at C&D on his latest but may have needed that run after a break of three months.

MUDLAHHIM is the final shortlisted selection as he comes down in class and has to rate as a big danger.

He was 6th of 8 at course and distance 11 days ago after a 4-month break. Mudlahhim is a former course and distance winner and should be in the thick of it.

Tip: FLATLEY 7/1

Ones to watch: Mudlahhim 5/2, Diavolo 10/11

14:20 Kempton Handicap Horse Racing Tip

Race Type: Class 5 handicap
Age: 3-year-olds plus
Declared Runners: 12
Distance: 6f

Race Preview

ENDURING is a former course and distance but is looking to end a long winless streak that goes back to last year.

But he was on a decent run of good form before a list misfire last time out. He could easily bounce back and get in the frame.

INEVITABLE OUTCOME was a winner at Wolverhampton eight days ago. She kept on very well there and should be a big player once again.

Inevitable Outcome keeps the same jockey and even though she comes up 4lb, there is plenty of room there for her to work with.

EQUITATION was a course and distance winner in October. He followed up with a reasonable effort back here at Kempton a month ago.

That was on a longer trip and he didn’t have to stay on that one. So back at 6f Equitation should be in the thick of it.

Tip: EQUITATION 11/2

Ones to watch: Enduring 7/2, Inevitable Outcome 3/1
