Kempton Tips: Diamond Charlie
Looks well handicapped over 5f on the all-weather and never finished outside the top-2 after a layoff of 80+ days.
With trailblazers like Roy’s Legacy, Island Legend and Royal Bajan in the line-up, the 5.10 Kempton should be run at a furious gallop. If the leaders ruin each other’s races, it could set up for Diamond Charlie to come from off the pace and win.
Having his first run in 130 days, a lack of racing would normally concern me but Diamond Charlie is at his best after a long layoff. He has returned off an 80+ day break three times and finished 212.
A previous course and distance winner, Diamond Charlie is at his best on the polytrack. In his last three all-weather starts over 5f, he’s earned a Racing Post Rating of 87 each time. Racing off a mark of 77, his lowest mark for almost 2 years, he looks dangerously well handicapped. At 6/1 (Bet365) he is overpriced.
