TWO 50-POINT HITS ON BRAVE MAN’S DAY: Daqman’s Fortune Cookies were 1-2-3 as they jumped the last in the King George at Kempton yesterday but L’Homme Presse pecked on landing and left Daqman’s headlined Bravemansgame to beat his 12-1 outsider and land 55 points. He was already Into Overdrive with a 50-point bull’s-eye strike at BETDAQ value. The winners took him 7-4 ahead of Pricewise.

⭕ 1.20 Kempton FORTUNE COOKIE: The unbeaten hurdler Lac de Constance returns to the scene of an impressive chasing debut by 20 lengths in November. BETDAQ 2.5 this morning.
Boothill was annihilated by Jonbon at Sandown but had well-franked winning form at Ascot and Newton Abbot.
⭕ 1.55 Kempton Glimpse of Gala, three lengths or so runner-up to Coquelicot at Ascot, was receiving more than a stone when 13 lengths behind Get A Tonic at Ayr. The ground is a problem for I Spy A Diva.
BETDAQ value 2.44 Get A Tonic
⭕ 2.10 Chepstow FORTUNE COOKIE Green Book (BETDAQ 4.1) plummets in class from Graded races, one of which he won at Sandown in February.

⭕ 2.30 Kempton (Desert Orchid Chase) FORTUNE COOKIE: Arkle winner Edwardstone returned with a spine-Tingle Creek victory.
Nube Negra won fresh as expected, long odds on at Cheltenham, but – with conditions against him today – has to follow up which he’s failed to do for three years.
DOG IN NATIONAL BEAR-BAITING
⭕ 2.50 Chepstow (Welsh Grand National) Though The Big Dog is saddled with 12st, there are still 10 horses set to carry more than 11st, which only three of the last 24 winners have managed to do.
The last two to score with 11st or more were Native River (11st 12lb) off 155 and Elegant Escape (11st 8lb) off 151.
Is The Big Dog in that league? He goes for a hat-trick after completing an autumn double at Limerick (Munster National) and Navan (Troytown Chase).
He has to give weight to The Galloping Bear, who might have won four in a row, still standing, but – after winning the Surrey National at Lingfield (3m 5f) – was disqualified for a banned substance following his defeat of Bristol De Mai in Haydock’s Grand National trial in February on heavy.
Had a run back over hurdles last month and wears cheekpieces first time today.
A strong trio at the front of the market is completed by Quick Wave, the London National winner from the L’Homme Presse stable.
Truckers Lodge, stablemate of Bravemansgame, is a stone lower in the ratings than when 7th in the race in 2020 and 9lb down on last year’s 5th.
But he’s scored only once in three years and has his 11th birthday in a few days’ time.
Fantastikas has form of 121 away from Cheltenham and the Grand National fences. Ask Me Early won 3-4 until injury, but was back to form the last day and has won twice at Chepstow.
Of those off 11st and lower, Musical Slave won a staying-chase series final at Haydock and was Sandown Gold Cup runner-up to Hewick (3m 5f, good). His stable won with Thyme Hill here yesterday.
Wayfinder is 12111, still standing, at Chepstow,and is bred to get the trip, while Wouldubewell is a grand jumper and comes from the Paisley Park yard of Emma Lavelle and Barry Fenton.
Betdaq Betting Exchange 8 The Big Dog, The Galloping Bear; 24 Musical Slave
LIGHT FANTASTIC VALUE AT 19.5
⭕ 3.09 Kempton This goes to young stayers in the making, including yesterday’s King George runner-up Royal Pagaille (in 2020).
Horses over the age of seven have failed to score in the decade and, though runner-up in the Newbury Gold Cup in November, Remastered, 10 in a few days’ time, is hiked to 12st 1lb, above the winning-weight ceiling for this.
Watch Fortescue’s effort in the Welsh Grand National; see if he can boost Five Star Getaway’s repeat bid here. Fortescue ran second last season, with Flegmatik third and Kitty’s Light fourth.
Kittys Light, still only six, has dropped 10lb in the handicap, 8lb lower than when third to Hewick and Musical Slave in the Sandown Gold Cup in April, after being runner-up in a Grade 3 here at Kempton.
BETDAQ value 7.5 Five Star Getaway; plus 19.5 win Kittys Light or 16.5 each way.
