Daryl Carter's Tips: 4/1 Kempton handicap debutant has plenty more to offer yet

• Two selections from Kempton's evening meeting

• Removal of the headgear could be critical to Skelton runner

• NAP is a handicap debutant that looks very fairly treated

18:00 Kempton - Back Frere d'Armes @ 7/24.50 1pt

Plenty of these hold some claim in a competitive contest, but one final chance goes to Frere d'Armes - 7/24.50 on the Betfair Sportsbook - who has shaped as though he is better than this mark on multiple occasions.

He is very frustrating, but he returns to Kempton for the first time since his career-best effort when scoring over the smart Haddex Des Obeaux by four lengths over course and distance, and this 2m2f trip is spot on for him.

He is not one to back with maximum confidence, but he has been keeping warmer company than this during the season, and removing all of the headgear could be the right move to see him back to his best.

His last outing without a tongue-tie or cheekpieces was a very good second at Ascot, and before that, he notched two victories, including the one mentioned above, at this venue.

The angle is to hope that the headgear he seemed to resent at times now gives him a new lease of life. His best efforts have come on a sounder surface over fences, and Harry Skelton's presence is a positive.

Back him at 10/34.33 or bigger.

19:00 Kempton - Back Yalla Habibi @ 15/44.75 1pt (NAP)

Yalla Habibi - 15/44.75 on the Betfair Sportsbook - should find this sharp speed test to his liking, and he arrives here off the back of an easy confidence booster at Fakenham. He makes his handicap debut off of a fair-looking mark and could easily take another step forward.

He was an unlucky third at Hereford last month when wiped out by a loose horse when in contention with the leaders, causing him to lose multiple lengths at a crucial time. The fact that he rallied to an excellent effect to go down by just half a length marked him as one to keep on side.

The form of that race has worked out well. The second is twice a subsequent scorer at the course and rated 120, and the winner, although beaten the next time out, had some strong Novice Hurdle and bumper form.

His first two starts over hurdles were full of promise, too. He caught the eye at Fontwell in January when running for experience on his hurdling debut before being poorly positioned at the same venue in a tactical affair which saw him just denied next time.

He arrives on a steep upward curve, has shown plenty of dash and almost certainly has more to offer in handicaps. Bradley Harris has got on well with him on multiple occasions this term, and he is a horse who could be one to follow in handicaps, so he gets the vote.

Junkanoo appeals as a likely type to fill a spot in the frame and is feared the most. Back the selection at 3/14.00 or bigger.
