Horse Racing Tips: Storm to surge home at Kempton on Wednesday

Five meetings are set to take place in Britain and Ireland on Wednesday, a pair of afternoon cards, a mix of flat and jumps, followed by three evening flat fixtures.

The day’s action gets underway at Fontwell at 14:30, closely followed by Yarmouth (14:48pm). Limerick kicks off the evening meetings at 16:43pm before Kempton (17:08) and Hamilton (6.30pm). Among our Wednesday fancies is one for trainer Richard Hughes, who reverts to the scene of his maiden course-and-distance success.

Horse Racing Odds

15:48 Yarmouth - Elvetham @ 4/1

Conrad Allen does well with limited ammunition and ELVETHAM is enjoying a solid campaign for the Newmarket handler.

The four-year-old has excelled since having blinkers applied this term, winning in the headgear at the first time of asking on the All-Weather at Lingfield in April, prior to producing a string of placed efforts.

Beaten just a three-quarters-of-a-length on his penultimate start at Windsor, he went down by an identical margin at Thirsk last week, despite conceding ground leaving the stalls.

He gets in here off the same mark of 60 and should make a bold bid over what's his optimum trip of 6f.

16:18 Yarmouth - Urban Warrior @ 11/4

URBAN WARRIOR, closely related to Group-placed Sayyida and a half-brother to Derby winner Masar, has clearly had his issues and cost only 5,000gns at the sales last year, but he's shown glimpses of ability for Stuart Williams this season and warrants a small interest now reverting to 1m6f.

The son of Night Of Thunder has shown steady improvement this year, his best effort coming when fourth in a first-time hood over this distance at Wolverhampton in January.

He was only marginally below that level on his return from a break, dropped back to 1m2f here last month, and was keeping on under pressure when his rider briefly dropped his reins.

He's run to Racing Post Ratings in the low 60s the last twice, so has obvious claims if putting it all together off his official mark of 56.

19:10 Kempton - Marengo Storm @ 15/8

Few jockeys ride Kempton better than William Buick, so it looks significant that Richard Hughes has called upon the dual Champion Jockey for lightly raced course-and-distance winner MARENGO STORM.

The three-year-old looked in need of the run when fading by the finish here on his debut in April and proved a different proposition on his next start, scoring with plenty of authority from subsequent winner Sargent Dennis.

He ran to a Racing Post Rating of 82 on that occasion and was only 1lb below that when finding one too good on his handicap debut at Windsor last month.

Denied a clear run at a vital stage last time and may well be capable of defying a 3lb rise, particularly now back on Polytrack.
