One bet for tonight, another at a very big price but the price demands that it should be backed.
Gay Kelleway has her string in fine form (two winners at Lingfield today) and she sends Dubai Meydan to Kempton to contest the 7f handicap. The selection is a relatively lightly raced son of High Chapparal, who has sired winners on this surface and at this track - the excellent Highly Regal, who won the London Mile final for us at 33/1, is also sired by the dual Breeders Cup Turf winner. Dubai Maydan reappeared six days ago over a mile at this course, and missed the break by about eight lengths before making the ground up quickly and pulling hard travelling three wide throughout. The fact that he was only beaten around seven lengths and did not fade out of it speaks volumes, for he expended plenty of energy in catching up with the leaders and then pulling for his head. His only win so far was over today's trip, so the step back to seven looks the right option in my view given how well he travelled the other night. It's interesting that he finished only around a length behind King's Topic, who was a 9/1 shot for this contest before being declared a non runner. If he can get his act together at the stalls and get a better trip from Steve Drowne, the 33/1 widely available will look a ridiculous price by 9.00pm. Interestingly, his previous win also came on his second run after a break, over seven furlongs, seven days after his reappearance over a mile!
Best recommendation:
8.50 Kempton Dubai Meydan 2pts each-way @ 33/1 (Generally - get guaranteed)
OR back 2pts to win on Betfair at around 40/1, 2pts place with Paddy Power @ 17/2.
