We should be back to a regular Wednesday night meeting again after a temporary afternoon move last week.
This week the powers that be have dreamed up an exciting card consisting of no less than 8 handicap races. No maidens, no claimers, no classified stakes just handicaps all the way starting at 5.15pm.

Our recent results has been remarkable lately and we arrive here with a healthy profit of +49.72 to our 1pt level stake. So lets see how we can improve on that this week;
17:15 - 1m 2f Apprentice Handicap -- Lightly raced 4yo having first outing this season with 7lb claimer on board JAYEFF HERRING is a tentative selection in the opener at decent double figure price. [7th 12/1]
17:45 - 5f Handicap -- Has a win/place record to be respected at this level on the AW [in the frame 20 out of 33 events], though might be better at Southwell they've come here tonight for a reason with BAPAK BANGSAWAN popped in at 25/1 two races back. [5th 12/1]
18:15 - 1m 2f Handicap -- If we can excuse last effort when tailed off at the end behind Mubtadi, there is a chance that DANDY can rekindle his form here having had a month off to get over that effort. [7th 25/1]
18:45 - 7f Handicap -- A win and three places all at this venue for CAPTAIN STARLIGHT is not one to put a lot of trust in however can go close if in the right mood here. [12th 33/1] Clearly not in the right mood...
19:15 - 1m Handicap [Div 1] -- Easy choice this one we'll stick with JACKPOT who gave us a nice win the other week, though only just hung on the hope is that having tasted a win will remember that and go again. [8th 20/1]
19:45 - 1m Handicap [Div 2] -- BOND ARTIST Was an AW Wolves regular before they relaid the track, had a break before running 3 weeks back and may be able to pick up his 2014 form now. [9th 14/1]
20:15 - 6f Handicap -- Not going to be a superstar from the Richard Hannon yard but TAKAHIRO has had three efforts in maidens and must have a chance in a handicap off a low mark (else is unlikely to stay with the Hannon yard for long). [6th 16/1]
20:45 - 6f Handicap -- 10 times a winner RISE TO GLORY is a likeable 33/1 shot today, could be a going day over 6f, wouldn't really be the biggest surprise to see the 7yo go well. [6th 33/1]
No joy tonight, as such we lose 8pts off our profit leaving us on a figure of +41.72 to carry over to the next meeting. Can't win every week at these prices...

OUR FOCUS ON THESE MEETINGS IS THE VALUE TO BE HAD IN THE HANDICAP EVENTS, THE LIKES OF MAIDENS AND CLAIMERS HAVE NO INTEREST FOR US IT'S THE OPEN NATURE OF A HANDICAP THAT CAN OFTEN BE EXPLOITED AND THIS MEETING SERVES US UP NO FEWER THAN 6 SUCH EVENTS STARTING AT 17:45 THE FINAL EVENT HAS BEEN SPLIT INTO TWO DIVISIONS SO THE MEETING CLOSES WITH THE 21:15 CONTEST.
17:45 -- 1m 141yds Handicap (Amateurs)
RAINFORD GLORY, has been campaigned over further with various trainers so a drop back to this trip might help, recent 4th in a claimer over CD and forecast 16/1 looks tempting.
[13th 25/1]
18:15 -- 1m 141yds Handicap
PARTY ROYAL has a good few runs here, gets the trip and while might not win is a good shout for the place market. Forecast to go off about 20/1.
[7th 16/1]
18:45 -- 7f 32yds Handicap
SUPERSTA, a winner at Windsor last year hasn't been seen since a couple of outings at Goodwood. This 4yo hasn't actually run on the AW before now which is unusual so the chance is taken on this 25/1 shot to take to the surface first time up. [5th 13/2]
20:15 -- 1m 4f 50yds Handicap
WAR POET [NAP] is interesting in this 8 runner affair, first of all lets hope that they all stand their ground for the place market to be an option.
Has raced here once before finishing 2nd off a mark of 80 and will be significantly lower rated tonight with the jockey's claim also taken into account. Has a decent win/place record for an 8yo and keeps his form well, I will be surprised if not up there at the end. [7th 16/1] -- very poor effort, surprised indeed.
20:45 -- 1m 1f 103yds Handicap (Div 1)
YORKSTERS PRINCE is the selection in the first division of the 9f handicap, usually ridden by claimers it's now got Robert Winston to help him home, 12/1 price in a 10 runner field I think he'll be in the top 5 at least so we'll hope for a place result at the very least. [4th 12/1]
21:15 -- 1m 1f 103yds Handicap (Div 2)
STREAM OF LIGHT is the outsider of the party in division two of the handicap finale, had a few novice hurdle outings at the back end of last year but will be much more suited to the trip and surface here. Only a 4yo against older horses, it's a big ask but 25/1 and upwards is worth a go. [9th 33/1]
The evenings results will appear later, have a wonderful weekend all. Not a great night by any means

KEMPTON PARK RACES WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON 4th FEBRUARY 2015
The regular Wednesday night meeting has been brought forward to begin at 14:05, owing to the loss of the NH cards to snow and frost. We come into this meeting on the back of some excellent results which means we have a healthy profit of +55.72 to our 1pt level stake.
What was an evening card now becomes a 7 race card with 6 handicaps for us to get stuck into, a link to the race cards can be found below and the last race will be under the lights at 17:15;
http://www.sportinglife.com/racing/meeting/kempton-park/04-02-2015/fast-cards
14:05 - 5f Handicap -- Back to the min trip could see the 25/1 outsider SWEET PICCOLO go well given his last try at the 5f trip saw him finish runner up. Sire is a good sprinter and already given up plenty of AW winners here. [5th 20/1]
14:35 - 1m 2f Handicap -- A very tight handicap next with only 5lb separating the field, should be a big bunch finish but I'll take RUNAIOCHT and MONSIEUR CHABAL against the field. [2nd 6/1 & 4th 7/1]
15:10 - 5f Handicap [3yo only] -- Another sprint handicap now with just the 7 declared, hard to split them but will side with MULTI QUEST who gets a healthy weight concession from nearly all of these. [6th 16/1]
16:15 - 1m 4f Handicap [3yo only] -- Dangerous to ignore any Prescott horse at this level so NAVAL ACTION needs a close watch, but I favour the odds of GALILEANO instead now handicapping and the Marco Botti yard in decent order. [3rd 8/1]
16:45 - 1m Handicap -- NEW YEARS NIGHT gave his maiden opponents an 8L beating and though different game in a handicap is probably worth keeping onside. Of the rest EMBANKMENT is one I would have a look for in the place market, has gone well here in the past. [2nd 16/1]
17:15 - 7f Handicap [3yo only] -- The finale is another restricted to the 3yo brigade, only the seven with Sir Lancelott already a non runner, it's GALAGO we look for to win again. [Non Runner]
Just a couple of places today, so down 6 points taking our profit back a little to +49.72. Never mind, Embankment was only beaten a short head so we're still getting close, and you can't win every week else this would be too easy.
