Today’s Daily Nap

Aqwaam

Kempton 3:15 (UK time)

Ian Williams handicapper impressed when landing a touch at Lingfield last weekend despite a troubled run through (switched wide and flying home up the straight in a strongly run race), and he can swoop again from a raised handicap mark at Kempton on Saturday under Oisin Orr.

Odds: 4.00

Today’s Value Angle

Mother Mary

Kempton 2:05 (UK time)

James Ferguson’s filly improved run to run in four starts last season, with her final effort coming in a strong Pontefract handicap in the Autumn. She seems sure to be primed to make a winning reappearance in this valuable listed prize, and the mile trip should be ideal granted a proper pace to aim at under Franny Norton.

Odds: 7.00

ITV Racing Tips – Saturday April 6th

Time (UK)	Track	Horse	Analysis
1:50	Kelso	Feival	Stuart Edmunds has his team in blistering form at the moment (2w/7r in the last fortnight having had a terrific time of things since Christmas), and his thriving stayer is fancied to defy a career high mark at Kelso on Saturday. He revels in testing ground, gets on really well with Charlie Hammond, and the sapping long run-in at Kelso should play to his strengths.
2:05	Kempton	Mother Mary	James Ferguson’s filly improved run to run in four starts last season, with her final effort coming in a strong Pontefract handicap in the Autumn. She seems sure to be primed to make a winning reappearance in this valuable listed prize, and the mile trip should be ideal granted a proper pace to aim at under Franny Norton.
2:25	Kelso	Dream Boy	Stuart Coltherd’s unexposed handicapper has run with credit twice since winning here in December, and he remains with upside after just five career starts over hurdles.
2:40	Kempton	Valsad	Jamie Osborne’s consistent handicapper has been running with credit in victory and defeat all winter, and seems sure to give his running again under regular rider Saffie Osborne. Race-fitness might be a real asset against some rivals who might be in need of the run, and a true run race in this big field should be on the cards.
3:00	Kelso	Elvis Mail	Nick Alexander’s stayer is much more settled these days, and has an excellent record at this unique venue over the years. He should get gallop up front that he needs in this small field of northern handicappers (with a couple of frontrunners in the line up), and regular rider Bruce Lynn will be looking to pounce after the last on the deep ground.
3:15	Kempton	Aqwaam	Ian Williams handicapper impressed when landing a touch at Lingfield last weekend despite a troubled run through (switched wide and flying home up the straight in a strongly run race), and he can swoop again from a raised handicap mark at Kempton on Saturday under Oisin Orr.
