Horse Racing Tips: Believe in Bulletin to deliver his best at Kempton

Beverley, 16.50 - Back Freddy Robinson @ 15/82.88

Nobody could accuse Freddy Robinson of being a winning machine on the level - a record of one success from 34 starts endorses that view - however he has been around the Beverley Westwood more than a dog walker and connections look to have found a great opportunity for him to double his tally.

Five rivals stand in the way of a deserved victory for the seven-year-old who has twice been frustrated over today's course and distance in recent times, by Sea Master and the unexposed Naval Tribute respectively.

It goes without saying that the son of Adaay could once again prove vulnerable here, but he has a number of the requisite speed figures to land a race of this nature and his trainer has showed signs of emerging from a quiet spell in the last fortnight, a recent 40/1 York winner evidence of the green shoots evolving.

Hamilton, 17.05 - Back Sanafi Zabeel @ 11/43.75

Sanafi Zabeel is largely unexposed in the UK, having made just two starts since being purchased from Germany and there was enough promise in his latest outing behind successful stablemate Salam Dubawi to suggest a race of this nature is within his remit.

Sent off at 16/117.00, the Cologne winner improved on his debut for the Jim Goldie stable under William Pyle, sticking to his task gamely to reach the podium, just under four lengths adrift of the Paul Mulrennan-ridden winner.

Mulrennan takes the ride this afternoon and, although his mount won't necessarily relish today's drop in trip, a drop in grade may assist his chance of a first win on British soil, especially if his rider tries to dominate from the front.

Kempton, 20.30 - Back Bulletin each-way @ 4/15.00

Jonny Portman has enjoyed a terrific first couple of months of the flat season and Bulletin can add to his recent successes with a deserved triumph in this competitive handicap.

I am yet to be truly convinced that 12 furlongs is the selection's optimum trip, but if he is going to see it out anywhere to his full capacity then it may well be Kempton.

In fairness, Bulletin stuck to his guns gamely at Ascot in a well-contested handicap last time, finishing just a couple of lengths behind the likeable Wine Dark Sea in a Class 3 event featuring plenty of depth.

Portman's son of Advertise is historically a strong traveller who habitually looks highly competitive at some point of a handicap like this one but if there is any criticism to be aimed at Bulletin it's that his win record hasn't yet emmulated the raw talent which he possesses.

He has already won at Kempton and looks a sporting bet to double his tally at the Sunbury track here.
