Newsboy's horse racing tips for four meetings on Wednesday, including Kempton Nap

VAFORTINO (7.30) has a touch of class about him that can prove enough to win the 25% Boost On Darts Profits @unibet Handicap at Kempton.

Originally with Joseph O’Brien, the five-year-old was sent to the Kevin Philippart De Foy yard 12 months ago and after a pipe-opening first-time run on the all-weather at Newcastle, he won the Victoria Cup at Ascot by half a length ahead of Accidental Agent.

After a couple of indifferent finishes in the Buckingham Palace Stakes at Royal Ascot and the Bunbury Cup at Newmarket, he then put in a career-best effort to win over a mile at Goodwood after a break in September.

He returns after 189 days off the track, but has proved he goes well when fresh.

NOVEL LEGEND (8.00) ended his three-year-old season with two fine efforts, winning at Chester in September over a mile and six furlongs, before finishing second in an 11-runner handicap over two miles at Newmarket.

An improving sort and a year older, he is another who makes his polytrack debut in the More Extra Place Races At Unibet Handicap. Despite a 152-day absence, he should run well for James Fanshawe.
