Kevin Philippart de Foy seeks first jumps winner and the Gosdens take aim at Kempton feature - punting pointers for Wednesday

Punting pointers from each of today's race meetings . . .


Hereford: Everyonesacritic in hat-trick bid for Williams

Everyonesacritic goes for a hat-trick for Evan Williams and Adam Wedge in the 2m5f handicap chase (4.42).

The six-year-old scored over course and distance last month and defied a 5lb higher mark when winning at Leicester less than a fortnight later.

Everyonesacritic has been raised another 3lb to an official rating of 87 but that could be workable given he has recorded Racing Post Ratings of 88 and 90 in his recent victories.

Two-time course winner Greenrock Abbey, whose trainer Kerry Lee has a 30 per cent strike-rate at her local track in the past five seasons, could be a chief danger if bouncing back to form.

Sean Bowen is a notable booking on Another Mystery as the jockeys’ championship leader has had three winners from seven rides this season for trainer Sarah Humphrey. A £1 stake on all 27 of Bowen’s career mounts for Humphrey would have yielded a profit of £28.33.

Kempton: Roi De France drops in class and trip

Listed runner-up Roi De France drops back into handicap company for the feature 7f contest (7.00).

Bjorn Nielsen’s homebred, who is trained by John and Thady Gosden, was beaten a length and a half by Poker Face when last in action in the Hyde Stakes at this track in December.

Roi De France finished down the field in the Cambridgeshire on his final turf start of last season but was successful over a mile at Kempton when beating Popmaster in November. Oisin Murphy maintains the partnership.

Thady Gosden said: "He's had a nice break since he was second in a Listed race at Kempton before Christmas and has been pleasing in his work on the Al Bahathri. He's dropping back to seven furlongs but he's not short of speed and this should set him up nicely for a race on Good Friday at Newcastle."

The James Tate-trained Mount Athos bids to win the race for the third year in a row.

Market Rasen: D Day goes into battle for Philippart de Foy

Newmarket trainer Kevin Philippart de Foy bids for his first jumps winner when D Day Arvalenreeva makes her handicap hurdle debut (3.50).

The five-year-old mare has a 1-16 record on the Flat, winning on her handicap debut at Leicester in May 2023, and has shaped with promise in two starts in novice hurdles.

D Day Arvalenreeva was fourth behind subsequent winner Surrey Belle at Uttoxeter before finishing third at Wincanton most recently. Newmarket-based rider Jack Quinlan takes over from Gavin Sheehan on Philippart de Foy's sole jumps representative since he sent out his first runner in Britain in November 2020.

Recent Exeter winner Nobody’s Perfect was fourth behind Saturday's £100,000 Herring Queen Series Final winner Leloopa in November and receives weight from her four rivals, while Nico de Boinville heads to the Lincolnshire track for one ride aboard topweight Mistress Emma for boss Nicky Henderson.
