Wednesday’s racing: Trainer/jockey combo at Kempton and a newcomer to watch

Simon & Ed Crisford have an excellent strike-rate when joining forces with Oisin Murphy at Kempton and they combine with one runner there on Wednesday. Welsh trainer Barry Murphy is sending four runners on the 724-mile round trip to Sedgefield and there’s an interesting newcomer at Cork.

Trainer and jockey combo to note at Kempton

It’s definitely worth noting that Simon & Ed Crisford have a 75 per cent strike-rate when leading jockey Oisin Murphy rides their horses at Kempton. They combine with one runner on Wednesday and the horse in question has a massive chance too.

Lex Victoria was very professional when shedding her maiden tag at the first time of asking at Newmarket and there could be even more to come from her. Making most of the running that day, she saw the 7f trip out well and looks well set to follow up in this company, despite carrying a 7lb penalty.

Barry Murphy sends runners on a 724-mile trip

Carmarthenshire-based trainer Barry Murphy is sending four runners on the 724-mile round trip to Sedgefield on Wednesday so we’ve assessed his chances of landing a winner. Ocean Rose struggled in three starts in bumpers and probably needs to take big step forward on her first hurdles start.

Yanka Blue produced a couple of nice efforts to finish second at Stratford and Newton Abbot over the summer and she should be capable of winning over hurdles on that evidence.

Applejack Poet and Peace Motivator both run in the 3.30 and the latter has been badly out of form but the former looks well treated on the form of his third at Newton Abbot back in June.


Newcomer to watch at Cork on Wednesday

Johnny Murtagh runs Hanawa in the 7f fillies’ maiden at Cork on Wednesday evening and there’s plenty to like about her pedigree. The daughter of Baaeed is a half-sister to Hanalia, who was a Group 2 winner for this yard, as well as another two group race winners. She could be a useful filly in time.
