Charlie Huggins has tipped an 11-4 winner and has one more selection at Kempton on Monday

Three horses to include in a treble on Monday. . .


Gasmani (1.30 Carlisle)

Larkhill point-to-point winner who displayed a good attitude to fend off Thomas Rainwater and land a Newcastle bumper by a neck. The five-year-old is a half-brother to trainer David Dennis’s 2021 Highland National winner Cyclop, so this step up to 2m4f should suit after a couple of hurdling spins over 2m. An opening mark of 104 looks harsh considering he has finished fourth on both of his novice hurdle runs but this could be a smart bit of placing by Dennis, who saddled a 200-1 winner recently and makes the 500-mile round trip with one runner.

Ilovethenightlife (2.50 Kempton)

A four-time hurdles winner who made a pleasing enough chasing debut when third at Worcester on her reappearance, finishing ahead of last year’s Lanzarote Hurdle winner Wesr Balboa. The six-year-old is back down to her last winning mark of 124 and the form of her third-placed effort behind subsequent Listed winner Take No Chances on her penultimate start reads well, especially considering the runner-up, Hyland, has won twice since including at Cheltenham. Ilovethenightlife’s trainer Joe Tizzard is in decent nick, having landed Exeter’s feature Haldon Gold Cup with JPR One on Friday.

Pop The Champagne (4.00 Kempton)

Has made the frame on her last four starts over hurdles off higher marks than this and there’s a bit of substance to her fourth-placed effort at Wincanton last time. Pop The Champagne beat Shantou Express, who went on to be second of nine on his next start, by 14 lengths. She also beat fellow next-time-out runner-up Fame And Fun by 21 and a half lengths over a 2m5½f trip that stretched her stamina. The return to the same sort of 2m trip that yielded a four-timer in novice company in 2022 should be ideal.
