Count on Constitution at Kempton

Constitution could take some stopping if putting his best foot forward on debut for Jamie Osbourne in the Unibet Supports Safe Gambling Maiden Stakes at Kempton.

Previously seen in the royal silks for Andrew Balding, the son of Churchill was an eyecatching second to the subsequent Grade One-winning Mysterious Night on his racecourse bow at Newbury, but was bitterly disappointing when then sent off favourite at Ffos Las on his second start.

That run was too bad to be true and he could prove another shrewd acquisition by Nick Bradley Racing, who picked up the three-year-old for 18,000 guineas.

Timewave takes the eye off a starting mark of 59 in the Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day Handicap.

The Sea The Stars gelding has beaten only one horse home in three starts to date, finishing fourth of five on debut at Yarmouth back in July, before coming home last of eight at the same track at the second time of asking.

Last seen when fourth of four behind a fellow Charlie Johnston inmate at Newcastle in September, he should be more at home in handicap company, and a half-mile hike up to 12 furlongs for this assignment also looks a positive on pedigree.

Berkshire Breeze ran some fine races behind high-ranking opposition in the early stages of his career last season and despite failing to find the scoresheet, continued to hold his own throughout the campaign.

He can put his experience to good use returned to novice company for the Huge Daily Boosts Only At BetUK Novice Stakes at Southwell, representing the Balding stable, who have made an imperious start to the new year.

Berkshire Breeze was last seen in action at the Shergar Cup in August and he was certainly not disgraced in that competitive heat – a fact reflected by the handicapper dropping him just 1lb for finishing seventh.

Kim Wexler is in fine form at present and the opening BetUKs Acca Club £5 Free Bet Handicap can see her snap a losing run that stretches back just over a year.

Defeated by a head at Wolverhampton nearly two weeks ago, a similar effort would put Kim Wexler firmly in the frame again.

Dan and Harry Skelton appear to have a strong hand in Chepstow's Vickers.Bet Independent Family Owned Bookmaker Maiden Hurdle with rules debutant Mylesfromwicklow.

An eight-length winner between the flags at Kinsale, he was subsequently snapped up for £100,000 and it is noteworthy that the yard won this race in 2021.

Venetia Williams has won the last two runnings of the Cazoo Mares' Handicap Chase and could bring up the hat-trick with Flowing Cadenza.

The nine-year-old was a runner-up to Anthony Honeyball's Credo over track and trip in November, but made no mistake at Hereford next time when reversing form with that rival in style.

Bear Ghylls is a tentative choice in the BH Events And Experiences Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.

A classy novice hurdler during the 2020-21 campaign, Bear Ghylls was off the track for 592 days before making his return over fences at Carlisle in October.

A bad mistake at the last fence in a Listed heat there cost him any chance of victory, but his jumping was otherwise largely assured, and it was disappointing he could not kick on next time at Uttoxeter.

Bear Ghylls finished well down the field there, but he perhaps just bounced returning three weeks after his return, and can be given the benefit of the doubt here.
