Dan Skelton Saturday runners blog: ‘It is very competitive, but we don’t have any excuses’

Kempton

Gambino – 12.20 Kempton

Gambino is new to us and has some nice form on the flat. He’s without experience over hurdles so it’ll be hard to just win on debut. We would expect him to run nicely without saying he’s got to win this to have a future. The lack of experience will be hard to overcome but we like what we’ve seen at home so far.

Precious Man – 1.30 Kempton

A very nice horse who carries a penalty because he won in France… he was second at Cheltenham on his debut for us, again, giving weight away. He has lots of speed, the track will suit him and he can give away that penalty we feel.

Boombawn – 2.40 Kempton

Boombawn runs in a tough race. There are only four runners, but they are all good horses. We were a bit underwhelming the last time out, but things have become hard for him because he’s climbed up the handicap. He has just done so well for us and the handicapper has got him quite high. We are trying this conditions race…it is a smaller field, and he has won around the track before. We are looking forward to getting out there and competing with him because he loves that. It remains to be seen if he can win a conditions race though.
