‘He has at all times regarded the sort to take his recreation to a different stage over bigger obstacles’ – Jason Heavey’s racing ideas
The Daily Star Chief Tipster has singled out a horse ripe for his chasing debut, while his nap is already a course and distance winner runs at Kempton Park
DRINK to THE KEMBLE BREWERY (3.00, nap) as he bids to make a successful start to his career over fences in the NMS UK Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase at Chepstow on Wednesday.
Trainer Kim Bailey, now in partnership with his long-time assistant Mat Nicholls, has never made any secret of his regard for this six-year-old.
The dual bumper winner was beaten on his hurdling debut at Cheltenham but after spending almost a year on the sidelines afterwards, he showed his class with a couple of victories at Worcester and Ffos Las last autumn.
He was pulled up at Ludlow as he tried to complete a hat-trick but he has always looked the type to take his game to another level over larger obstacles.
And following a summer wind operation, he gets the chance to prove that theory.
At Kempton, be true to VERAISON (6.30, nap) in the Try Unibet’s Superboosts Fillies’ Handicap.
After a moderate start to her career, the three-year-old has improved for a step up in trip, resuming winning ways over C&D prior to following up in a Wolverhampton handicap nine days ago.
This assignment looks tougher under a penalty but she has the brilliant Billy Loughnane up top and commands respect.
At Nottingham, the best bet could be DINAH MITE (3.10, trb) in the Watch Racing TV Now Handicap.
The daughter of Sixties Icon was a winner at Ffos Las in September before being unlucky in running when fifth in a Redcar handicap last time out.
I think the John Gallagher charge has untapped potential which she can show off.
Returning to the all-weather action at Kempton, Mick Appleby’s COUL ANGEL (5.30) can make it two course-and-distance wins in the space of a week in the Try Unibet’s New Improved Acca Boosts Handicap.
