15.40 Chelmsford: Rita's Boy @ 33/1 Ladbrokes - 5pts win
This looks much more open race in reality than the betting reflects. Rita's Boy is a huge price and has a good deal to find on the ratings, however the way Chelmsford is riding at the moment, slow and deep, should suit him, who has shown his best around Southwell so far. It' noteworthy that Danny Tudhope comes down for this only ride today for a trainer he has had loads of success in the past. With first time visor fitted, it may well be that Rita's Boy can go much better than one would expect from his last forms.
16.45 Kempton: Rocket Ronnie @ 10/1 PP - 5pts win
Rocket Ronnie is back after a break and fitness is a concern, but he has his first start for new trainer Ed McMahon who had his small string in fantastic form lately.Gibbons booked is another bonus and confidence boost for the five year old who can race off a feather weight here. The Mahon/Gibbons combo has a 100% strike rate this year (2/2). Rocket Ronnie is 4lb below his last winning mark, and has been a neck beaten off 1lb higher than current last summer in a good Handicap. However he has never raced on All-Weather before. On pedigree he has every chance to get on well though. With the positives outweighing the negatives, a chance his taken on him to prevail today.
