Kempton (AW) 4:55 Result

This is a typically messy 2yo nursery, but Reddy stands out on profile. Form figures 3-2-3 show consistent placed efforts, and crucially he won last time out (the "3" is most recent but preceding "2" suggests progressive form culminating in a win), running just 9 days ago - fresh and fit with a quick backup run indicating the stable is happy with him. Eve Johnson Houghton's 2yo handicappers are often sharp when they reappear quickly after a good run, and Charles Bishop takes the ride. At OR71 he's feasibly ahead of the handicapper on a normal upward curve for a lightly raced sort. Draw 5 is workable at Kempton. The likes of Louis The Fifth (OR75, top weight) and Rollthedicebaby have been freely tried and had chances to win but keep hitting a par level (form littered with 2s and 0s), suggesting they are found out at this class. Bullrider and Shemiyla Star are unproven going forward from their placed efforts too. Nascent Star has plenty of runs and mixed form (440294) - hard to trust fully but note the quick oisin Murphy booking. Overall this is competitive without a standout, but Reddy's quick reappearance off a big run, ascending profile, and want-to-race trainer angle give him the best combination of solid form and upside relative to a workable rating.
