As always our focus will be on the handicap contests for each meeting but will occasionally include a feature listed or conditions event too. Keeping records of our endeavours to a 1pt level stake at SP, naturally we will personally be looking to get better odds but for the purpose of these results we record to SP.
We will keep up with our occasional lay opportunities of short priced favourites too, sadly found a winner last time up but that's still only the 4th of the year and we will see if there is another selection tonight. As always we will keep these results separately from the handicap figures.
Here's a link to this Wednesday's race card; EVENING RACECARD
The going on the polytrack surface is described as 'standard to slow' and the current weather forecast is for plenty of cloud and a slim chance of some showers perhaps which is a bit disappointing for August. However a max temperature of about 23C when the meeting gets underway is possible.
Here are our selections for this evenings four handicaps tonight;
19:15 -- 7f Fillies Handicap.
Our first handicap for the evening is for fillies and we have a field of 10 to review.
Top weight SIMPLY ME [5th 16/1] is clearly of interest having won 4 from her last 6 starts and proved last time out that there is still something left to work with even though it was only a three runner affair, hard to ignore.
Also of interest here is PARLANCE [7th 9/2] from Sir Michael Stoute's yard and the Cheveley Park Stud who is already a runner up here and winner on the AW at Chelmsford.
19:45 -- 1m Handicap (London Mile Series Qualifier).
A field of 11 for this series qualifier and as a big Iron Maiden fan I fancy the ew chances of RUN TO THE HILLS [7th 12/1] who has some form on the AW including a big price place here. Worth a look at about 20/1.
In addition to that selection we look at the bottom weight AHLAN BIL ZAIN [3rd 6/1] this 3yo colt has some AW form too and could still have a future in handicaps over this trip, also about 14/1 so a pair worth a strong look in the place markets too.
20:15 -- 1m 7f 218y Handicap.
A staying contest now and decent field of 12 line up with DENMEAD [2nd 11/2] already in the book of horses to follow, has won twice on AW too this season and should be ready to go again. Priced about 10/1 looks generous, could be supported.
Our other selection in this event is SPORTY YANKEE [11th 66/1] this 4yo gelding mixes hurdles and flat and wins in both codes means staying not an issue, winning at Windsor and Ayr last year and a pipe opener last month could mean ready for a return to the winning circle.

20:45 -- 6f Handicap.
Although a low class sprint finale we have 12 declared for this event and finding the winner could be tricky.
Top weight is usually a good place to start so DOUBLE SPIN [8th 12/1] while not exactly in form has been placed at Newcastle and had a couple of early races here too which should help.
Similarly lightly raced MORELLO [2nd 5/1] this filly has been getting closer with each race and this event could be well within her compass.
Staked -- 8 points.
Returns -- NIL points.
Results will appear later tonight. Currently we have a deficit of -19.045 points that we bring forward to this round of racing. So no joy tonight, a couple of 2nds the best we could muster. This years loss now grows to -27.045 but there is still four months to go.
LAYS -- We now stand at 9 from 13 successful lays for this season, just 4 wrong all at short odds. Will update here later if we find another selection for tonight. NONE Tonight.
Our next meeting here at Kempton Park on Wednesday 30th August.
