17:30 Kempton Park Tips — Wednesday 8th April 2026

Our confident selection for the 17:30 Kempton is the incredibly short-priced Go Rimbaud, and for good reason. Despite the prohibitive 1/10 odds, this looks like one of the day's surest things. The John & Thady Gosden trained colt has been knocking loudly on the door, with consecutive second-place finishes (422-) demonstrating a horse in peak form and desperate to shed his maiden tag. His progressive profile over his last three starts points to a horse fully mature and ready to deliver.

Under the expert guidance of Robert Havlin, who boasts an excellent track record at Kempton, Go Rimbaud faces a field that simply lacks his consistent class and proven ability. The Gosden yard typically doesn't miss when sending a horse like this for an obvious opportunity, and all trends point to him making no mistake today. While the price won't make anyone rich, it reflects an absolute banker. For an each-way alternative, Bumaan is worth considering to pick up the pieces behind our dominant favourite, capable of running into a place for those looking for value beyond the winner.
