4:00 Kempton Tips

This J. Butler-trained 3-y-o gelding won for the first time on his penultimate start over one mile at Lingfield and followed that up by being beaten only 3/4 length into second behind the reopposing Roi De Coer over this course and distance 33 days ago. With L. Morris booked to ride, he should be involved in the finish.

Gelded son of Footstepsinthesand & Princess Pearl ( Dam's sire Teofilo ) who was last seen at Wolverhampton 10 days ago where finishing a nearest finish 6th/10 and most certainly shaped better than that bare result suggests having been forced wide on the home turn that was his return run after a 84 day break having had a breathing operation in the process of that break and is entitled to strip fitter with that run under his belt currently operating on a handy mark of 67 M L W Bell's inmate looks poised to strike especially with a good analysis of this Class 5 Handicap clearly showing Ballybunion will be extremely well suited in running with his favoured pace level very well likely to be at his disposal given the horses enrolled to run here which will play extremely well into his strengths here at the Kempton Polytrack jockey Callum Shepherd takes the ride and can give Ballybunion a promising ride here at Kempton merits consideration

Just five career runs for the 3yo. He won a 13 runner contest on his handicap debut over this 8f C/D early last month, the front two pulling well clear. Similar mark for this handicap with the jockey claiming 3lb. He was a close runner-up on turf three weeks ago, the 3rd in the race came out and won by 3L last week. Solid looking form.

Having shown plenty of promise during her two previous runs at Kempton over seven furlongs and a mile, this talented filly makes a very solid each-way choice.
