4.00 Pontefract – Peticoatgovernment EW @ 18/1 (Coral)
I think its interesting that Irish trainer W McCreery brings this one over for the listed race at Pontefract today , has three runners out in total , other two at the Curragh but only brings this one to these shores. Trainer been in decent form of late having been amongst the winners and placers , and since the 17th August he’s sent out 4 runners resulting in a winner and 3 seconds. Trainer knows the time of the day and doesn’t often bring his horses over here (has a 14% strike rate when he does) , so probably worth taking note of the fact that he’s brought this one over for a listed race. Danny Tudhope is booked for the ride and despite the fact the horse would have to improve i think its entirely possible that he could outrun his current odds and make the placings at the very least.Welcome back Dibble, and good luck
I like your selection as well, and considering an Exacta with him.

4.15 Kempton – Intransigent 7/1 (Coral) / Finelcity 8/1 (Coral)
An open looking handicap where a hatful of the participants could win imo , but i am going to side with two against the field at decent-ish prices. First is joint top weight Intransigent , probably not the most obvious choice at first glance but Andrew Baldings’ charge has a seriously good record here at Kempton , a CD winner his record reads – 2,1,1,3,3,2,2,10,1,2 which entitles him to respect round here in my book. Looks to be on a decent mark considering some of his past form and if the re application of the hood helps his cause then i think he should definatley make his presence felt here today. The other one i like is Finelcity , comes into this on the back of a 10 month layoff which is probably the only thing that worries me about his chances , always seems to run a decent race , but round Kempton his record is exemplary – 2,1,1,1 (CD). Jim Crowley in the plate which boosts my confidence as the pair have teamed up three times before resulting in 2 wins and a second , all over todays CD. If fit , well and fully wound up after his break then i can see him being in the firing line come the finish
