MEGAN NICHOLLS RACING TIPS - KEMPTON PARK

BetMGM ambassador Megan Nicholls gives her thoughts on the horse racing world, bringing her insightful opinions and first-rate knowledge exclusively to our blog every week.

This time the former jockey – now a celebrated TV pundit – previews an exciting day of racing at Kempton Park.

Kempton 2.05 – Snowdrop Fillies' Stakes

I’ll go with Choisya (4/1) in this one. She’s done well for Simon and Ed Crisford and has been consistent the whole way through her career.

She could easily improve with another winter on her back as a bigger and stronger filly – and she’s won over this course and distance previously.

Choisya just looks like she’s continuing to improve, as she’s done throughout her career, so I think there could be more to come from her.

She’s the sensible option here.

Megan’s Tip: Choisya WIN

Kempton 2.40 – Rosebery Handicap

Intinso (7/2 fav) looks to have been more straightforward since gelding. He’s still lightly raced and he’s got a good record on the all-weather with two wins from three so Kempton will suit him.

He’s a big horse who does need to get into a rhythm but, providing he can do that from stall one, I think he’ll be the one to beat.

Intinso has got fitness on his side as well having had a run, and a win, at Wolverhampton last month which is a positive.

Megan’s Tip: Intinso WIN

Kempton 3.15 – Queen's Prize Handicap

It looks like there’s going to be a good gallop on in this one so I’m going with Aqwaam (8/1) as I think that will suit him.

He won nicely in the BetUK All-Weather Vase Marathon Handicap at Lingfield last time when finishing very well. He’s drawn 12th in this race so jockey Oisin Orr will be patient once again, slot in mid-to-rear and ride him for that turn of foot again.

You don’t always want to be too far back at Kempton however I do believe there will be a bit of a pace collapse here and that will suit Aqwaam.

He’s a horse in great form who is really thriving at the moment, trainer Ian Williams really seems to have found the trick with him and he is enjoying the all-weather so he has another big chance of winning here and is still unexposed at this trip.

Megan’s Tip: Aqwaam WIN

Kempton 3.45 – Fillies' Conditions Stakes

I’m looking forward to seeing Devoted Queen back on the track. She was very impressive on her debut at Newmarket in October last year.

She won very nicely and very comfortably that day and I know William Buick was impressed with her. I was at Newmarket the day she won and there’s plenty of talk and hype about her.

Devoted Queen travelled well, if a little bit keen, but nothing I was overly worried about so I’m looking forward to seeing her back in action.

She is also a half-relation to the talented One Ruler – so she’s from a pretty nice family – and I think she can certainly progress this year as an exciting one for her team.

It is a small field but a tidy contest but if she’s as good as we think she could be then she’ll take all the beating. Hopefully everything is smooth, William will keep things simple and I’d like to see her quicken up and put this race to bed with ease.

Megan’s Tip: Devoted Queen WIN
