Horse racing: This 14-1 shot can spring a surprise in big race at Kempton with Richard Johnson on board

SUN RACING is back to give you some insight on big horses at even bigger prices.

Here, we try to find the value bets which could net you a tasty return from a small stake.

Longshot

MELLOW BEN (3.35 Kempton)

He was a solid fourth here last time in ground that was very testing.

He’d earlier gone close at Newbury in better conditions so should be right in the mix under Richard Johnson.

Each-way Thief

MARGARET’S LEGACY (2.25 Kempton)

He has some smart form in France with a couple of convincing victories at Cagnes Sur Mer.

This is clearly a smarter race than that but he likes this trip and wouldn’t be making the trip over without a chance.

SON OF RED (3.00 Kempton)

Alan King’s four-year-old was a winner on the Flat and transferred that ability when scoring on his hurdles debut at Newcastle in November.

He was then a solid third at Cheltenham after that when the undulating track didn’t seem ideal.

He’s back at a speed course here and is capable of hitting the frame.

Don't forget, SunSport tipster Templegate has given a verdict on every race on Saturday.
