Now dropped back in class, Owney Madden looks decent value at 9/1 in the 6f handicap that brings proceedings to a close on today’s card at Kempton (7.15).
This four-year-old won twice as a juvenile when trained by Martyn Meade. The last of those successes came in a competitive 20-runner class 2 nursery at York where he scored by a neck off a mark of 80.
Owney Madden got put up tom89 for that and ran well of his revised rating when fourth of nine in another class 2 at Doncaster.
He is now able to race off 83 and comes into this having shaped quite nicely on his first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam when a tenderly handled eighth of 10 in a class 3 at Wolverhampton following a break.
Owney Madden is entitled to come on a bundle for that and now drops back down into class 4 company for the first time since opening his account in a novice contest at Newbury back in the July of 2019.
It makes him a big player on the pick of his form for a handler that has saddled two winners from her last four runners.
Owney Madden has also bagged a good draw in stall three and the booking of Adam Kirby to do the steering also catches the eye.
Daily Sport recommended bet: 2pstv win Owney Madden (9/1 generally available – use BOG firms)
