Horse racing tips February 23: Chepstow, Kempton, Lingfield, Newcastle and Wolverhampton | Racing | Sport - (2022)

Part-owned by Jeremy Kyle, the controversial TV presenter, the eight-year-old is still favourably treated in the 888Sport Handicap Chase after winning at the Sunbury track in January.

Admittedly the handicapper has put in him up 13lb for that success, but he is entitled to as he won by a staggering 23 lengths. The two Paul Nicholls-trained runners – Modus and Adrien Du Pont – will be the obvious dangers.

Modus has endless ability but is a difficult customer to predict. Adrian Du Pont comes to the contest in cracking form after his success at this course in December.

Nicky Henderson can continue his strangle-hold in the Sky Bet Dovecote Hurdle by making it ninth victory with Angels Breath (3.00, treble).

Unbeaten in his two races, this Supreme Novices’ Hurdle hope at next month’s Cheltenham Festival can take this contest in his stride. His form is nothing special but the manner of his victory at Ascot in December suggests he is something special.

At Chepstow SAMBURU SHUJAA (3.40) can add to January’s course and distance success by taking the Pertemps Handicap Hurdle.

He is up 4lb for that performance, but he came home with plenty in hand. Also, his chances will be enhanced with champion jockey Richard Johnson in the saddle.

Frankie Dettori and WISSAHICKON (3.15) will be hard to catch in the Betway Winter Derby at Lingfield. The partnership is on a roll following their success in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September.
