1:50pm Kempton – Ashdale Bob (w/o Rubaud & Imperial Saint)
Ashdale Bob (6/4 without favs) steps up in trip and carries a 5lb penalty, but his Galway Grade 3
win last summer shows he’s no slouch. While Rubaud (Kingmaker 2nd) and Imperial Saint are respected, the 10-year-old’s slick jumping and front-running style could unsettle rivals. James Bowen’s aggressive ride might exploit his stamina edge. Note: Only Hills offer "without" markets.
Tactical Play: Ashdale Bob @ 6/4 (William Hill)
3:20pm Newcastle – Jetoile &
Mackenburg
Jetoile (5/1): Back to his preferred 2m5f trip, he’s 11lb below his Old Roan Chase-winning mark. Freddie Mitchell’s 5lb claim adds value.
Mackenburg (11/1): Overlook the Wetherby PU – he was on the wrong ground. Now 9lb lower than near-miss at Hereford, he’s primed to strike.
Split Stakes: Jetoile @
5/1 & Mackenburg @ 11/1
3:35pm Kempton – Unanswered Prayers (Each-Way)
A 25/1 outsider, but this mud-lover thrives in stamina tests. His 8th in this race last year (good-soft) was better than it looks, and rain could spark a revival. With doubts over favorites’ staying power, he’s a live each-way shot.
Longshot EW:
Unanswered Prayers @ 25/1 (4 places)
4:10pm Kempton – Ideal Des Bordes
Ideal Des Bordes (11/4) has proven stamina over 3m and drops back to 2m4f – ideal for a race likely to be run at a clip. Nicky Henderson’s charge jumped flawlessly here last time and should relish the pace setup. Bad (blinkers) and Blow Your Wad (layoff) are
risks.
Confident Pick: Ideal Des Bordes @ 11/4
2:32pm Chepstow – Guard The Moon (NAP 🌟)
Guard The Moon (7/2) is a hidden gem for the Twiston-Davies yard. With a 5lb claimer offsetting his rise, he’s primed to qualify for Cheltenham’s Pertemps. Firestream and Lossiemouth (not that one) are threats,
but the selection’s upward trajectory makes him the bet.
Lock It In: Guard The Moon @ 7/2 (NAP)
