Kempton’s Trustatrader.com Handicap Chase (3:25) presents an intriguing contest, where market confidence is building around Flegmatik (5/2)—and rightly so.

  • 3:15 Bangor – A Well-Handicapped Contender in an Ideal Setup The RW Hough & Son Handicap Hurdle (Class 4, 2m½f, Soft) at Bangor this afternoon presents an interesting puzzle, with market confidence behind The Grey Man (100/30) and The Grafter (3/1).
