The next evening meeting here at Kempton Park will take place on Wednesday 3rd February. This evening will begin at 17:05 with a 7f Handicap contest.
We carry over a small loss into week 5 of -2.0 points, and will continue to keep a running total of our results to a 1pt win at SP, the focus remaining on the Handicap events and a few selected conditions or listed events too.
This season we are also selected a few short favourites to "lay" our first two have been successful and we continue to look for short price favs to beat. These are likely to be occasional bets through the season and these statistics will be kept separately to the main profit / loss figure this year.
Forecast going is Standard as usual, the weather had dropped in recent weeks but tonight we expect to be lovely and warm as it's likely to get up as high as 7C.

This weeks card is a little better than of late, the 6 race card does have 5 Handicaps but includes the popular London Mile qualifier series. We did well last week and as the year progresses think we can land a few big winners at this midweek fixture.

Here are our selections for those handicaps tonight;
17:05 -- 7f Handicap
Our opening contest features a field of 14 runners, I want to focus on the pair WILD FLOWER [4th 5/1] / YARD OF ALE [WON 9/1], the former has some place form on the all weather having moved over from Ireland and is worth a chance of getting her first win. Yard of Ale won a Wolves maiden and has run consistently around there, has been placed here too and again worth a look at decent odds.
18:10 -- 7f Handicap
A similar looking contest now albeit a few grades higher than our opener. Interesting to see how ATHLETIC [12th 25/1] goes dropping down a few grades into this event usually seen around the better tracks like Newmarket, Ascot and York in decent events over 7f, could be a good option win/place at the forecast 16/1.
18:40 -- 1m Handicap (London Mile Series Qualifier)
Now for the feature race of the evening, only the 5 line up for this qualifier, open to 3yo only but it's still a shame only a few have taken up their chance.
CAPE SPEED from Mark Johnston comes here seeking a hat-trick, too short for us and we aim for NOKHADA [2nd 3/1].
19:10 -- 1m 4f Handicap
KALAHARI [WON 9/4F] / EL TEL [11th 16/1] will be our pair against the field in this event, the former won a handicap going off 15/8F and should go well stepping up in trip. El Tel has only had a few runs around a mile and may make progress over this new trip.
19:40 -- 6f Handicap (3yo)
The finale tonight is a sprint event over 6f where 10 line up for us and recent runner up CLEVEDON COURT [8th 4/1] can put that experience to good use albeit stepping back a little in trip.
Staked -- 7 points
Returns -- 13.25 points (9/1 winner in opener, 9/4 winner later, great result)
Profit to c/f -- +4.25 points.
Lays -- 2/2 (100% so far both odds on fav's successfully beaten)
A good evening puts us back in front again, will return for another night of handicap company next week.
