Lucky 15: Oisin Murphy was Kempton’s top jockey in 2025 and rides four on Wednesday

Horse racing is in Liam's blood and his biggest passion is jumps racing. He can often be found at his favourite tracks; Chepstow and Cheltenham in the Autumn when the National Hunt action kicks off. In his own words: "I'm often referred to as a walking form book, a trait which comes in handy from time to time. My proudest tipping success to date was landing a whopping 682-1 accumulator at Epsom."

No jockey landed more winners at Kempton last year than Oisin Murphy and his total of 33 victories was certainly impressive. Kempton’s first all-weather fixture of 2026 is set to take place on Wednesday and Murphy heads there for four rides.

We’ve combined his four rides into a Lucky 15 and it’ll be a surprise if he doesn’t come away with a winner or two. Check out our free tips page for daily content across British and Irish racing.

Espona Bay is lightly raced and finished second in both handicap starts over this trip. He bumped into a progressive sort when second over course and distance in October and the three-year-old looks well set to go one better. A 1lb rise shouldn’t make too much difference and the best is yet to come.

Up The Anti was in good form in the last couple of months of 2025 and she managed to win over course and distance when last seen. The handicapper has responded with a 3lb rise, which shouldn’t be too problematic, and hopefully the good form can continue.

Popmaster has a vast amount of experience and the eight-year-old runs his race here more often than not. Winning two of his five starts here, he did well to finish third in a competitive race at Southwell last time out. A similar effort should put him bang in the mix once again.

Rajinoora has only had three stars in handicap company and she was a comfortable winner at Epsom in July. Michael Bell’s filly returned after a break at Chelmsford last month, where she finished second, and a return to winning ways should be on the cards sooner rather than later.
