Alan Dudman had a single winner with Destinado at 4.5 BSP yesterday and he is hoping to land a Kempton 7/18.00 double for Wednesday...

Alan is playing a Kempton double in the final two races
Hopefully all eight stand their ground for those looking to play each-way for the 20:00, although the selection Alafdhal will be a far removed from an each-way price despite the fact he was well beaten last time.
He was involved in a rough old race at Wolverhampton and nothing went right. Bumped at the start and then short of room in the closing stages, it was a race to forget.
The race to focus on in terms of recent form was his victory at Wolverhampton over 6f previously as he was threaded through several small gaps to get up to win in a blanket finish. Despite the size of a quilt covering the first six home, the pace was sound and the sectional times recorded that evening from Alafdhal were very efficient with a finishing speed of bang on 100%.
On his form of last winter he's well treated and he's a consistent sort on the All-Weather with six wins and fives places in his career.
The mark of 61 really appeals with Rossa Ryan on and he is a 7/24.50 shot for this.
We're with Rossa Ryan again and a horse much shorter in the betting with Tortured Soul and the 4yo is one of the few progressive ones in this at a very lowly level. And while I am not a huge fan of tipping anything at odds-on, the opening 8/111.73 as the markets went up changed to 4/51.80, and that can hopefully seal the double.
Since leaving Ger Lyons for Tony Carroll, he's found these poor AW winter races far easier and has fired in a sequence of three wins from four starts.
The winning roll started in December at Southwell over 1m3f - a win in which he showed a steely attitude to stick on.
His next success soon followed, up in trip to 1m4f off 51 at Wolves, but that was a shocker of a race. However, he wasn't penalised too much and scored again last time out at Southwell at 1m4f.
He stays well and he was quick enough to deal with the steady pace last time as the contest turned into a sprint.
The selection is likely to harden in the betting I reckon, but he's progressive and I would be amazed if he couldn't get another couple of wins considering he is rated only 59 - and he sneaks into this 0-60.
His jockey is on the hot list at the moment with 19-93 at 20% with a level stakes profit of +12.00, and while the price tells us he will be hard to beat, he should be winning this.
