Sunday 18th

Just a bit of plagiarism just getting Sunday racing up and running.

Kempton 13:05
A few from the Kempton handicaps catch the eye. Salvado made a really encouraging all weather yard debut here off 8lb higher and has been knocking on the door since. He went very close over 5 at Wolves on penultimate start before being a beaten favourite over 6 there next time. Whilst he looked a touch awkward that day, the yard are in fine form this month and 6/1 looks a little too good to resist. I think he's better coming off a strong pace and stall 7 will hopefully mean he's produced from mid division behind a few that like to go forward.

Salvado - 1pt e/w @ 6/1Kempton 13:35
Shauna's Spirit has a bit to find in the next on recent form but cheekpieces back on is a big plus and she shouldn't go unbacked at 16/1. It's a weakish race and she's 5lb below her last win, which came here with those cheekpiees on. She can be keen but there are a few that like to go forward and that should help her settle. Bookmaker may also be underestimated at 7's.

Shaunas Spirit - 0.5pt e/w @ 16/1Kempton 15:05
If Rigoletto gets an easy lead then he has a good chance of following up his win last year but he's poorly drawn and Pabusar may well keep him company up top. Costa Filey should outrun his price but best at the market is Divine Call at 16/1. The worry is he could probably do with a few more front runners but he's too big given he shows up 1lb below his last course and distance success. The yard are in far better form than when we last saw him and he's weighted to be involved.

Divine Call - 1pt e/w @ 16/1Kempton 16:05
Tychaios looks a likely winner on the card but is well found in the market. My Renaissance is of interest back at this track with further likely to suit. I fancy Hallelujah to win the feature but the French import could be anything. As far as another bet goes on the card Gabrial The Duke looks well treated and too big at 16/1. He was sent off at 6's last time but was never travelling and the cheekpieces are done away with today. He shaped with promise before that on 2nd start for this yard and his best all weather efforts have come on polytrack. Back off his last winning mark on this surface, this trip should suit on Kempton debut, especially if sitting prominently off a likely moderate pace.

Gabrial the Duke - 0.5pt e/w @ 16/1Leopardstown 14:50
Couple of big priced pokes for the Boylesports Hurdle at Leopardstown. Draco was far from disgraced last time from off the pace over course and distance and can reverse form with a couple of these at 28/1. He ran well behind Nicholls Canyon before that and, though unofficially outsider of the McManus lot, Davy Russell is an encouraging jockey booking. He has won on good but his dam and sire relished cut so no worries there. Whilst I like Rock The World very much, the 25/1 about the stable's apparent 2nd string Modem looks generous. An improving 5 year old this term, he loves cut and shaped well here on handicap debut last time. A touch unlucky, he looked as though further would suit but a decent clip in this ground will likely provide enough of a test and the yard know how to win this.

He'llbremembered is a big price at 12/1 with Paddy Power for the Graded Handicap Chase.
He won this last year off 130(taking jockey claim into account) and will run off just 134 here. He has an exceptional record around Leopardstown, winning twice in graded chases and being 3rd and 4th on his other two runs here. Johnny Burke is a very good booking and he is excellent value for his 3lb claim. He'll love the ground and showed his well being with a sedond, promoted to winner, in a decent race at Punchestown over hurdles. He looks a bit of value at 12's, just a pity there isn't another runner to give a fourth place for each way betting.

Ladbrokes are paying 4 places in that race

Teen Ager in the next at Kempton might have an e-way chance of its current mark with J.Quinn on board a plus for me.

2 for me today : Katie T Leopardstown 2.50 and Be My Sea Leopardstown 3.50

Byerley Babe looks a great bet at 7/1, getting over a stone from Foxrock and Maarito, first time headgear with Mc Coy on board for Tyner and 6 wins from 19 at the distance.

The state of Irish racing is perfectly summed up in the next. A graded race attracts only 3 runners in perfect conditions at the height of the nh season with the 3rd horse an 11 yr old making its chasing debut.

Back Off Mate 10-1 ew 2.20
I like this. Two good competitive runs over 3m last Oct Nov. This
trip maybe ideal, bottom weight and very consistent .

shy-tall-knight

Jessie has a great record in the Boylesports. Tandem is unexposed and Robbie Power gets down to 10 stone 3.
Lowest weight he's done in the last 12 months has been 10 stone 5.

Monsieur Chapal 14-1 ew 2.35
Not off the mark yet. Knocking on door last two.
Can improve on that here hopefully .

Heaney ran a blinder if he could have got cover early he would have been closer,one to watch.

Pink Coat 33-1 ew 2.50
5 to place here.

Backed Memories of Milan here at 20s.

After the runs of Savello, Ted Veale and Mydor, Petit Chief must have a chance in the bumper at 11/1.

Jezki's half brother is interesting as jezki won first time out.

Looks to have lots of ability but was very green and wanted to hang in behind the winner. Both look very good prospects though.

Mullins was beaten very handy in a behind closed door gowran gallop by the half brother of that good mare glens melody ( glens symphony) and he is way behind this year.
