The horse racing week ahead and a tip for Kempton Park today

The big meetings come thick and fast this time of the year on the Turf and following Arc weekend at the beginning of the month and Future Champions Festival at Newmarket the weekend just gone, it's Qipco Champions Day at Ascot this weekend. The final fields for Qipco Champions Day at Ascot on Saturday will be revealed on Thursday's declaration stage. With the weather somewhat unpredictable, it could get very wet from midweek onwards, I am holding off from taking the plunge with any bets just yet for Champions Day. 

It may not make the headlines some of the recent meetings have but the All-Weather Championships kicks off on Tuesday evening at Newcastle and I will be keeping a close-eye on all the action over the winter months leading to All-Weather Finals Day at Newcastle Racecourse Good Friday, 29th March 2024.

Best bet for the horseracing at Kempton Park Monday 16th October

I was going to tip Enchanted Life at HQ on Friday where she was due to make debut for Charlie Appleby but she was a non-runner. The daughter of Kodiac will now have her first taste of the racetrack proper in the 7f British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Novice Stakes. This looks easier on paper than the Newmarket race she was entered in and I have a bit of the 9-5 about her early. Drawn in stall 8 William Buick can put her where he wants in the race and you know the team must quite like her as they were going to run her at HQ. Lumiere D'or is feared off the back of a fair second on her debut with improvement expected.

Be lucky
