2.52 Chepstow – Datsalrightgino (2pt win – 3/1 generally)
DATSALRIGHTGINO was learning on the job at Newton Abbot, which saw him get too far back to make any real inroads on the very likeable winner Boothill. He warmed to the jumping task throughout and shaped like a potential improver, and given his unexposed profile; he is worth siding with. His hurdle form on balance is stronger than all of his rivals, and with his three runs over hurdles easily forgiven in good Novie and Grade 1 and 2 contests, he remains the one to beat. Triple Trade will need to jump a hell of a lot better over fences, but he remains with potential, and Calico is starting to look exposed for all he will trade low in the running again, no doubt.
4.07 Musselburgh – Wild Shot (1.5pt win – 4/1 Bet365, 3/1 generally)
I don’t normally like to bet at this venue, but the prices are wrong in this contest with WILD SHOT “wildly” underestimated. He ran a scorcher at Cheltenham from well off an ordinary pace and chased home a couple of potentially useful rivals when poorly positioned. He was also a good fourth at the same venue last October in a race that has worked out nicely. This is considerably weaker than those races, and Whizz Kid’s form is not represented in his price. He is worth taking on with a trainer who has a 24% strike rate here.
6.30 Kempton – Bear Force One (1pt win – 11/1 Bet365, 9/1 Will Hill, 13/2 generally)
It may pay to have a stab at BEAR FORCE ONE today, given the cheek-pieces are on for his seasonal return, which is out of the norm, and Jim Crowley is a positive booking (+£31 to a £1 level stake). He has finished first and second on both starts on the AW, which includes a victory at this venue back in 2019. He doesn’t have a good first-time-out record, but the headgear hasn’t been on for any of those starts, and he did win when they applied it for the first time under another notable jockey booking in William Buick, who is unavailable in the US. He is likely to get a positive ride here from stall 1, and that type of ride has seen him to good effect previously (all wins), and this is a drop into a Class 3 for the first time since October last year when heavy ground went against him when sixth of 15 at Doncaster. This is far weaker than what he is used to, so he is worth chancing at double-figure odds.
7.00 Kempton – Tiger Crusade (1pt win – 9/1 Bet365, 7/1 888, 6/1 generally)
TIGER CRUSADE returns to Kempton, for which his form figures read 18134, with his sole attempt over course and distance a good win last October. He tends to come alive at this time of year, and this is a drop back into Class 3 company for which his form figures read 13431. He should remain of interest despite his last two runs at Chelmsford looking poor at first look, but he reared at the start losing all chance on his latest outing, and he was given far too much to do under Jamie Spencer in August when having to switch for a run at a track that doesn’t suit those coming from off the pace. He shaped as though he was returning to form before that, and he looks worth chancing returned to this venue. He has a good draw in stall two if Shane Kelly can break well, and his smart turn of foot is seen to best effect at Kempton, where he has been ridden a bit more handily in the past.
