Gamble alert: Jonjo O’Neill runner backed from 14/1 into 7/2 on the Flat

Our resident horse racing man Adrian Wall has always been an avid market watcher. He has spotted a pretty large ongoing gamble taking place at Kempton Park Racecourse today. Our free horse racing tips are also available every single day and we have been in good form the past month. Let’s take a closer look at the big gamble in more detail below.


3.15 Kempton

Jonjo O’Neill has a very rare Flat runner at Kempton today in the form of Circuit Breaker, and connections have booked James Doyle for the ride which is a real sign of intent too. This horse has been backed from 14/1 into 7/2 favourite overnight so someone certainly fancies this runner to do the business today.

There’s no doubt that this horse will jump a hurdle in time. Why else would you send him to Jonjo? However, the son of Nathaniel bolted up in a course and distance handicap in September from a mark of 83, and he travelled powerfully for a long way when finding just one too good at Haydock over 1m6f on soft ground when last seen at the tail end of that month.

With a 190 day break under his belt, Circuit Breaker is having his first start since leaving Ralph Beckett and the step back up to two miles will be in his favour. Drawn in stall one, he should get a good early position and this lightly raced horse could still be well ahead of the handicapper.

Keep in mind that this is not a tip. We are simply highlighting the gamble. Always bet responsibly and only what you can afford to lose.
