Two bets for today following a quiet start to the week.
In the 5.50 at Kempton, Major Promise is a worthy favourite for Janhe Chapple Hyam. His run over 12f last time out in December was really promising, he pulled too hard and was clear until around the furlong pole before fading. Immediately, I thought he should be given a little rest and sent over 10f for a spring campaign. That is exactly what Chapple Hyam has done, and the handicapper has left him on a mark of 55 which looks very fair. The excellent Chapple Hyam doesn't have many 55 rated plodders these days and her record with her small string is impressive. She is a very talented and underrated trainer, and having cottoned on to what looks Major Promise's best trip, she may have another winner on her hands here.
Jumeirah Plain made a really nice debut at this course last time out despite looking green at various points. She gets a 5lb fillies allowance from the Gosden trained favourite and has proven fitness on her side. Trainer David Simcock has a really good record in 3yo maidens and he does know how to handle a good horse - this filly looks like an 80+ horse at least. Gosden's mob have been in good form but many of them have been tenderly handled on their returns and a couple have picked up weak contests. Jumeirah Plains will be a decent test for him here and she looks the value at Laddies' guaranteed 3/1.
Best Recommendation:
5.50 Kempton Major Promise, 5pts win @ 10/3 (VC Bet, Ladbrokes, guaranteed)
6.50 Kempton Jumeirah Plain, 5pts win @ 3/1 (Ladbrokes, guaranteed)
