Lucky 15 Tips: Unraced Balding colt could be just the ticket at Kempton

Regular readers will know I love the all-weather tracks, and with rain around potentially disrupting ground conditions elsewhere I've no hesitation in taking Wednesday's Lucky 15 tips to Kempton Park, and their Polytrack surface. Eight races - and the action starts at 17:18.

I've only looked at a couple of heats and already I see names like Oisin Murphy, Jim Crowley and Tom Marquand. We're in good hands.

18:22 - Kyoto @ 2/1

Very little form to go on here, and I'm siding with an unraced three-year-old Inns Of Court colt with Oisin Murphy up.

Andrew Balding trains, and Tony Bloom is listed as the joint-owner. Loads to like then, and it's short-odds that he'll know his job. Of those to have run none sets a frightening standard and this looks a nice opportunity for Kyoto to make a winning debut.

The yard's in form (21% strike-rate in the last 14 days) and the jockey's red-hot (35%).

18:52 - Nutmeg @ 4/1

A twice-raced three-year-old Kodiac gelding now, in the care of Newmarket handler George Scott.

Nutmeg has raced in maidens at Southwell (March, 7f) and Newbury (April, 1m), perfectly respectably, and then was promptly gelded. He now appears in this novice stakes contest at 7f with David Egan, AMO Racing's main man, doing the steering once again. I'm thinking a nice, fitting case of third-time lucky?

Nicely drawn in mid-div from the five box, he can go where he likes and with those two runs under his belt he's one of the more experienced performers in this field.

19:22 - Binhareer @ 3/1

Big-hitting Newmarket combination now of trainer William Haggas and jockey Tom Marquand.

They field a three-year-old Dark Angel gelding Binhareer, not seen on the racetrack for 204 days, but the possessor of at least one very fine piece of form in his fledgling three-race career.

That was at Redcar over 7f on soft ground last October, running out a cosy 2.5l winner in a field of 11. He couldn't back it up a month later but had perhaps gone over the top for the season at that point and I can imagine him prospering this term for his powerful yard. Let's start all that prospering right now.

20:52 - Kingdom Of Stars @ 5/1

Jockey Sean Levey takes the mount here for Upper Lambourn trainer Tom Ward.

Kingdom Of Stars is a four-year-old gelding who appeared to need every yard of this 2m trip last time here 13 days ago, after being stepped up on just his fifth career start.

It resulted in his best Racing Post rating to date too, showing that staying is seemingly his game - and he bids to go one better on Wednesday evening. Sean has ridden him before and he ticks plenty of boxes at what's a fairly niche, marathon trip in flat racing terms.
