Gabrial´s King to win with bit in hand in Calverts Carpets York Handicap at Kempton
Covering two miles at good pace is not going to be an easy task for horses in Kempton’s Calverts Carpets York Handicap, this Wednesday. Therefore, the punters should stick with only those proven at this distance. According to our calculations, Gabrial´s
King is making the best appeal.
He had a bit in hand on his fresh C&D success, and could repeat the show in style. The 3-year-old has been performing magnificently over the past few weeks. Putting his journey back on the winning ways, the Ian Williams-trained took the top prize at Wolverhampton
at the start of last month, when beating Laser Blazer by a nose.
Kept doing the great job, he ran another marvellous race at Wolverhampton. In the Great Offers At wolverhampton-racecourse.co.uk Handicap, the bay gelding notched up the runner-up place, missing the victory only by a length’s distance.
The Dr Marwan Koukash-owned reached Kempton with a huge bang at the end of November. The 32 Bonus Handicap saw him grabbing the triumph by half a length. In the hands of Stevie Donohoe, the 11-4 favourite chased the leaders brilliantly in the beginning.
His hard work in the middle stages helped him lead inside the final furlong. A serious challenge came to him in the final stages, but he always had enough in the tank to stay ahead. Consequently, he captured the top rank with ease.
Having shown three wonderful acts in the last six weeks, the Danella Partnership-bred is in awesome rhythm at the moment. A classy win over this distance here must have boosted up his confidence, and he just needs to be equally good to steal the show today.
The main danger is Thecornishcockney, who is full of power following a couple of fascinating triumphs. Within a period of four days, the John Ryan-trained strike twice, and collected plenty of admiration. The 3-year-old is well treated under 6lb penalty.
The only thing which will worry the supporters is his tendency to hang left.
The competition is for a prize of £4,075. The officials at the track will start the proceedings at 16:45 GMT. We wish the best of luck to all the contenders.
