(%): NATIONAL AVERAGE SAW: Since a winner E: Entries R: Rides
FAVOURITES: At Kempton we acknowledge then absorb the huge sample size which includes a 11% differential between winning non-handicap favourites and handicap favourites (42% v 31%). Over the past 5 years winning favourites show 653-1893 for 34.50% and a big level stake loss of -230.80 to SP. Best strike rates are in 3yo favourites in non-handicaps scoring at 46%, whilst the worst is 3yo winning favourites in handicaps scoring 28%.
TRAINERS: With the exception of Richard 'Volume for just 11%' Hannon, our top trainers come to the fore at this track and dominate in the non-handicap races. However, on this meeting we do not have much to report so a chance for the 'Championship Trainers' to score winners! WINNER
Of our Premiership Trainers we note S & E Crisford (21%) runs CHOISYA 7.30, Ralph Beckett (17%) saddles ALTERNATIVA 8.00, whilst Clive Cox (14%) enters MOHI 7.00 & JUST BRING IT 7.30. WINNERS (2)
JOCKEYS: David Probert (11%) rides the AW tracks particularly well and he has 5 rides and we expect him to go close to winning and failing that giving his rides the best chance. His rides include: ASSEMBLED 4.55, TIGER BEETLE 6.00, ONE NIGHT THUNDER 6.30, ATHEBY 7.00 & BLUENOSE BELLE 8.00 WINNER
We are a big fan of Rossa Ryan (14%) and he has some excellent rides tomorrow and must surely ride a winner, they include SAPPHIRE'S MOON 4.55, EASTERN STAR 5.30, STATELY HOME 6.00, PAPA STOUR 7.00, JUST BRING IT 7.30 & ALTERNATIVA 8.00 WINNERS (3)
OWNERS: None of the top owners at the track have a runner for Wednesday.
BY THE WAY: Not sure how helpful our Composite board is today. We do have some travellers at the course that look interesting, they include RAY OF COLOURS (C Johnston) 246 miles, MY SONG FOR YOU (R Fahey) 224 miles, READY TO SHINE (J Camacho) 223 miles, RING OF GOLD 7.00 & CHICAGO GAL 8.00 (M & D Easterby) 222 miles and INFINITVE 8.00 & ELISHEVA 8.30 (D O'Meara) 213 miles. Stop at a winner? WINNER
At the last meeting our PERTINENCE BOARD found every winner!

| The way the track is prepared at Kempton can play a massive part in whether it suits front-runners or horses coming from behind. Most of the time, the going is officially rated ‘standard’ but I know, from having ridden in America, that all artificial surfaces are dependent on weather conditions. An inside draw is a big advantage on the round course, as you don’t want to be running wide, and there’s a tendency for jockeys to get going a long from home. My preference would be to use patient tactics - Jason Weaver |
