Had a small ew on Guns And Flowers in the 6pm 7f handicap at Kempton this evening at 30/1. Best run so far came over C&D two starts back in January, finished 5th but was only beaten 2 lengths and is now 3lbs lower, with Christian Howarth taking off a further 3lbs. Has since run poorly when well beaten at Newcastle but that run can be excused as was over a mile and not all horses take to that track as there can often be a strong headwind. On the aforementioned C&D run, Guns And Flowers finished around 7 lengths in front of Bits And Bobs who reopposes tonight, yet that one is half the price of my selection so looks a bit of value to run into a place.

 

Gavi Di Gavi in the 7pm at 10/1 also may be worth backing as looks a solid ew bet. Finished a length behind today's second fav Lady Of Arabia last time out - that day was carrying 2lbs more than that rival, today carries 1lb less. More importantly, that last race was in a small field where there naturally wasn't much pace. Gavi Di Gavi was held up out the back and was the only horse that wasn't prominent that made the frame. More runners today should hopefully mean more pace which would suit his late finishing run-style.
