Blow Your Wad boasts form figures of 111 at the Sunbury venue and, with his stable finding some form at last – six winners from 32 runners since the turn of the year as opposed to four from 72 for the three months preceding New Year’s Eve – Lacey’s son of Walk In The Park makes plenty of appeal on betting sites to complete a fabulous Kempton four-timer.
Stablemate Tahmuras (Kempton, 3.35) – available at 16/1 on some horse racing betting sites with four places on offer – is not one for the feint-hearted, but he was second to Blow Your Wad in Grade 2 company on this card 12 months ago and could reward a patient ride from Jonathan Burke.
Blow Your Wad landed last year’s running of the Grade 2 Pendil Novices’ Chase and Rubaud (Kempton, 1.50) makes some appeal on betting apps to lift Saturday’s renewal, even if his stamina isn’t copper-bottomed at this new trip.
Trainer Tom Symonds has enjoyed a golden spell with his hurdlers of late – watch out for recent Newbury third Navajo Indy when he tackles three miles for the first time at the Grand National meeting – and the selection took a sizeable leap forward when asked to tackle two-and-a-half miles for the first time in January.
Earlier on the card, the meeting opens with a competitive handicap hurdle and there is a chance Gold For Alec (Kempton, 1.15) remains well handicapped despite a 9lb imposte for his smooth Huntingdon win last time.
