Today's Horse Racing Tips: Lightening to strike at Kempton on Wednesday
Yesterday’s NAP, Astaroth (8/1), showed a really good attitude and stayed on strongly to win at Kempton. It was a fourth victory from his last five starts, and it’ll be interesting to see where the Jamie Osborne-trained colt is placed next.
There is one bet for tonight’s racing at Kempton.
Kempton Tip
18:00 – 1m3f Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Handicap (Class 5)
LIGHTENING SHORE (NAP – 1 point win bet at 15/2) made all to win over a mile here at Kempton last year, and title chasing jockey William Buick has the ideal draw in stall 1 to attempt a repeat of that. Alternatively, he could settle him in midfield and save ground against the rail before challenging at the cut away.
This Richard Hughes-trained three-year-old was beaten by a short head at Lingfield on his seasonal reappearance in April and has raced only three times since. His latest effort, also on the Polytrack at Lingfield, saw him finish second again, but this time it came on his first try at 1m2f. He kept on well that day and should therefore appreciate this extra furlong. Cheekpieces, which were worn for the first time in his last race, are retained.
Beowulf, a dual winner on turf this summer, and Alyara, who followed up her recent Carlisle victory with a nose defeat at Ayr last month, are feared most.
