Kempton Park Race 7 - Ladbrokes 'Best Odds Guaranteed On Racing' Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
MERLIN ALLEN (11) got off the mark at the first time of asking scoring by 8L a jumpers flat race at Aintree over this distance last November. May double up following a break. TALLY HO BACK (10) was placed 1L second two starts back contesting the Listed jumpers flat race at Ascot. Disappointed subsequently when last of six at Windsor. Might bounce back. RED METAL (12) also aims to remain unbeaten. Secured a 2.5L victory contesting a Hereford jumpers flat race providing first career appearance. Worth considering. OTIE'S FRIEND (7) cannot be dismissed after placing second on racecourse debut a couple of months ago. Something for the Multiples: RATTLIN HOME (8)

Is third-up today and making a debut in a jumps race. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily finished second of 9 starters at Warwick on December 31 over 3200m, 6 len behind Risky Obsession with 72.5kg at $2 and before that held ground to the line finished win of 14 runners at Hereford on November 25 over 3200m, 5.5 len behind Smile John Boy carrying 68.5kg at $11. Right in the mix again.

Resumes from a spell. Finished off last preparation 5 of 15 runners at Exeter December 5 over 3300m, slow track; 7 len behind Analitheia carrying 71kg at $9. First ever race start 4 of 8 runners at Wincanton November 8 over 3000m, 6 len behind No Way Jay with 71kg at $11. This looks too tough.

Was well in the market at debut, finished second of 8 runners at Huntingdon on December 22 over 3200m, 3 len behind Milpat carrying 72.5kg at $5. Likely improver who can get off the mark.

Jumped at long odds at debut, finished 13th of 16 runners at Cheltenham in the LR on January 1 over 3400m, 73 len behind Solly's Gold carrying 70kg at $26. Better for the run but may need more time.
