Thursday’s racing tips: Two longshots to fill your pockets at Kempton and Chelmsford

THE racing action heats up on Thursday with five meetings across the Flat and jumps.

Kempton and Chelmsford are where we head for today's longshots and this pair can get in the mix at nice prices.

6.00 Kempton - Fitzwilly

Mick Channon's eight-year-old has been around for years but is still continuing his good form.

His last win came over this course and distance when he got up by a neck to land a similar contest to this.

Channon's stayer has only been put up 2lb for that win and there's no reason why he shouldn't continue to be competitive.

8.45 Chelmsford - Grasmere

There are plenty in this race in with a chance but Alan Bailey's filly is well worth a few quid.

Her record might not be that appealing but her only win came over this trip at this track and her best performances have come here.

She struggled over further last time but can be forgiven that run and must be in with a chance back down to her optimum trip.
