Kempton Park Race 3 - Virgin Bet A Good Bet Handicap
HARDSTYLE (5) Handy enough when winning by 2 1/2L last run at Wolverhampton and gets the perfect stall. Should muster plenty of early speed. Back to a shorter trip. Must be considered. KILKENNY WARRIOR (2) Fresh from a break. Ran on strongly to win last run at Lingfield but facing a stronger class. Displays good finishing speed. Will be around the mark at odds. ACCLAIMED FREEDOM (4) First up after a break of 25 weeks. Strong effort to the line to win last time at Chelmsford but competing at a higher class. Has to be included. LION OF MALI (8) Reeled them in when winning last time at Wolverhampton but challenged by more formidable competitors. Jockey Oisin Murphy and trainer James R Fanshawe command respect as a team. Marginal hopes.

Racing fresh after a break. Narrowly denied a win last time at Lingfield but matched against tougher rivals. Hoping that the added weight won't hurt. Could be in the mix.

First up from a spell. Although fading at the finish still placed 3rd beaten by 1L last time here and can find a nice position from the draw. Will struggle to compete in this race.
