Cracking the Premier puzzle with Richard Birch's seven tips for the ITV races from Kempton and Chelmsford

Richard Birch provides his selections for a competitive afternoon of racing on ITV from Kempton and Chelmsford  . . . 

1.30 Kempton
Virgin Bet Restricted Novice Stakes, 6f

Birchy’s tip: Harry Did

The form of Harry Did’s Newcastle second to Lion’s House has worked out well, with the winner, third and fourth successful since. Well drawn in stall two, the son of Exceed And Excel makes plenty of appeal.

2.05 Kempton
Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Snowdrop Fillies’ Stakes, 1m

Birchy’s tip: Choisya

Choisya beat Julia Augusta by a neck over course and distance in November. The pair renew rivalry with Choisya 4lb better off at the weights. Many Tears is feared most on her first start for James Ferguson.

2.40 Kempton
Virgin Bet Every Saturday Money Back Rosebery Handicap, 1m3f

Birchy’s tip: Intinso

Intinso has been raised 8lb for landing odds of 8-15 at Wolverhampton, but the strong suspicion remains that he could still be a step ahead of the handicapper off a mark of 98.

2.50 Chelmsford
Racing Value At bet365 Apprentice Handicap, 1m2f

Birchy's tip: Come On John

Come On John shaped with promise when a staying-on fourth back from a break at Wolverhampton last time. He's slipped to a workable mark and today's race has the potential to set up for him.

3.15 Kempton
Virgin Bet Queen’s Prize Handicap, 2m

Birchy’s tip: Sweet Fantasy

Sweet Fantasy, denied a valuable opportunity by the abandonment of Musselburgh last Saturday, looks a mare to keep firmly on side this year. A proven all-weather winner, she should take plenty of beating from her position at the foot of the weights.

3.30 Chelmsford
Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions Stakes, 1m

Birchy’s tip: Capulet

Capulet has the best juvenile form and looks the type to develop into an even better three-year-old. A mile may prove the bare minimum this year but his class can see him through.

3.45 Kempton
Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places British EBF Fillies’ Conditions Stakes, 1m

Birchy’s tip: Devoted Queen

Devoted Queen holds a Qipco 1,000 Guineas entry. The Kingman filly made an impressive winning debut at Newmarket in October and this looks an excellent starting point.
