LTO Selection:

17:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

GLEN HESTE produced by far the best performance of his career so far to fill the runner-spot over C&D earlier in the month and he has only been raised 1lb for that display. The son of Exceed And Excel could still have improvement in him on just his sixth career start and can get off the mark. True Blue Gent also hit the woodwork over track and trip last time, when fitted with first-time blinkers, and he looks a likely player in the retained headgear. Saxon Magic warrants a market check on his first start in the handicap ranks.

TRUE BLUE GENT reacted well to blinkers over C&D last time and, from stall 1 he has a chance to make all if he can eke out a bit more improvement. Trois Blancs shaped well from an unpromising position at Wolverhampton on handicap debut recently, so he could make his presence felt and Glen Heste is a likely player if he can overcome a tricky draw.

Marco Botti's TRUE BLUE GENT was an excellent runner-up over C&D last time out and can go one better now off just a 1lb higher mark.

18:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (11/4 +45%) Green Power	2.75 11/4(+45%)	(6) Green Power 11/4, C&D winner in October and remained in form since, finishing second of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. On the shortlist again. Two-time C&D winner; good Wolver second 12 days ago; must enter calculations nudged up 1lb.
2	11 2nd (11) (5/2 -53%) Cephalus	2.5 5/2(-53%)	(11) Cephalus 5/2, Left previous efforts for this yard in his wake when landing a gamble at Lingfield (1m) last month. Backed up that display when just touched off at Southwell (1m) 18 days ago (clear of remainder) and he's a big player once more with visor now fitted. In fine form for current yard, clear Southwell second latest; big shout with visor added.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -85%) Uzincso	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Uzincso 12/1, Six-time C&D winner but latest back in 2022. Good fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield 35 days ago. Cheekpieces added. Merits respect. Multiple C&D scorer; back on track when fourth at Lingfield latest; can go well again.

5th	10 5th (10) (20/1 -100%) Lunarscape	20 20/1(-100%)	(10) Lunarscape 20/1, Placed in AW handicaps on final 3 outings last year. Left poorly placed when seventh of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago and treated as if still in form. Didn't enjoy rub of green for her new yard when seventh at Wolver latest; not discounted.
6th	1 6th (1) (11/1 +0%) Dagmar Run	11 11/1(+0%)	(1) Dagmar Run 11/1, Ended long losing run in 8-runner handicap at Chelmsford (7f) in December, just holding on. Cheekpieces on first time, bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 19 days ago. Won at Chelmsford but cheekpieces on when only fifth at Wolver since; can bounce back.
7th	3 7th (3) (18/1 -64%) Shot Of Love	18 18/1(-64%)	(3) Shot Of Love 18/1, Latest win at Epsom in September. 10/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 72 days ago. Landed 8.5f Epsom handicap in September and he has continued in good form; shortlisted.
8th	7 8th (7) (17/2 +74%) Awtaad Prince	8.5 17/2(+74%)	(7) Awtaad Prince 17/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 33/1, last of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 28 days ago. Others more persuasive. Failed to beat a rival in 9.5f Wolver handicap four weeks ago; others are much preferred.
9th	9 9th (9) (11/1 -144%) Lunario	11 11/1(-144%)	(9) Lunario 11/1, 16/1, creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (7f) in October. First run for yard after leaving Robyn Brisland. Cheekpieces on first time. Interesting runner, particularly if backed. Low-mileage 4yo; cheekpieces on for yard debut and very much one to consider back up to 1m.
10th	2 10th (2) (25/1 -127%) Forward Flight	25 25/1(-127%)	(2) Forward Flight 25/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in October. 7/1, last of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 27 days ago. Not easy to make a case for. Scored at Yarmouth (1m) in October but last at Newcastle latest; needs to bounce back.
11th	4 11th (4) (22/1 -100%) Covert Mission	22 22/1(-100%)	(4) Covert Mission 22/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. Seventh of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (1m) on reappearance 20 days ago. May strip fitter for the run. C&D scorer; looked rusty after 4 months off at Lingfield latest; can take a step forward.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CEPHALUS was just denied when sent off at odds-on at Southwell and now has a 4lb higher to contend with, but he has looked like one to follow since a gamble was landed at Lingfield and can make it two from his last three in a first-time visor. Green Power put in another solid effort to hit the crossbar at Wolverhampton so could have a say off a 1lb higher mark. Lunario completes the shortlst.

Although CEPHALUS was beaten at short odds last time it was actually a good run and he's taken to resume winning ways with a visor added now. Green Power, Lunario, a new recruit for the Alice Haynes yard, and C&D specialist Uzincso may give him most to think about.

Gary Moore's rejuvenated CEPHALUS remains handily weighted on past form and can resume winning ways after being edged out at Southwell.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (13/2 +35%) Cracking Gold	6.5 13/2(+35%)	(4) Cracking Gold 13/2, 19,000 gns foal, €95,000 yearling, Havana Gold colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f-1m winner Crack On Crack On (by Havana Gold). Cost plenty and this newcomer could go well. In good hands so this son of Havana Gold is one to consider on his debut.
2	8 2nd (8) (5/6 -108%) Native Approach	0.833333 5/6(-108%)	(8) Native Approach 5/6, Too Darn Hot colt. Closely related to smart 6f-1m winner Discovery Island and half-brother to 1¼m winner Theatre Honours. Wears hood. Highly respected on debut for top operation. Too Darn Holt colt; hails from top yard and lots to like on paper; most interesting.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +11%) Alhather	4 4/1(+11%)	(2) Alhather 4/1, €92,000 foal, 160,000 gns yearling, Kodiac colt. Dam 7f winner out of useful 1m winner (stayed 1½m) Be My Queen. Second of 11 at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) on debut 43 days ago. That was a promising start and he can improve. Good shout in this company. Shaped well when debut second at Southwell; has more to offer so must enter calculations.
4	9 4th (9) (80/1 -21%) Northfield Lake	80 80/1(-21%)	(9) Northfield Lake 80/1, 66/1, fourth of 9 at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 35 days ago. Very green when fourth at Lingfield on his debut; he can take a step forward.
5th	5 5th (5) (7/2 +50%) Forever Noah	3.5 7/2(+50%)	(5) Forever Noah 7/2, 85,000 gns foal, €95,000 yearling, Dark Angel colt. Brother to winner up to 6f Mubaalegh and half-brother to several winners, including 1m winner Lord Tennyson and 7f winner Nibras Passion, both useful. Top yard 3 from 6 with their latest newcomers and obvious appeal first time up. Dark Angel brother to useful 5f/6f winner Mubaalegh; noteworthy debutant from top yard.
6th	6 6th (6) (66/1 -230%) Jolty Jem	66 66/1(-230%)	(6) Jolty Jem 66/1, Dandy Man gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 11f Frutireu and useful 1¼m winner Return To Dubai. Dam maiden (stayed 7f). Son of Dandy Man who is a half-brother to seven winners but market can guide on his debut.
7th	10 7th (10) (33/1 +18%) Hatadora	33 33/1(+18%)	(10) Hatadora 33/1, Twice-raced filly. 25/1, seventh of 13 at this course (8f) 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. She'll probably do better at some point as she gains in experience, perhaps in handicaps down the line. Failed to build on debut fifth when seventh here three weeks ago; may still do better.
8th	1 8th (1) (100/1 -300%) Caruso	100 100/1(-300%)	(1) Caruso 100/1, Fair form both starts on AW in 2022. Off 15 months. First run for yard after leaving James Fanshawe. Marked drop in trip surely against him on return (dam a 1¾m winner and sister to St Leger/Gold Cup winner Leading Light). Hinted at promise for James Fanshawe in autumn 2022; market can guide on comeback run.
9th	7 9th (7) (200/1 -150%) Lightning Bay	200 200/1(-150%)	(7) Lightning Bay 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 150/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Has beaten just one rival in pair of novices at Lingfield and Wolverhampton; lots to find.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ALHATHER showed plenty of ability on debut when second over this trip at Southwell and is likely to have learned a great deal from that experience. The Kodiac colt should have any amount of improvement to come and he looks the one to beat. Godolphin's Native Approach is a well-related son of Too Darn Hot so he needs to be watched in the betting. 95,000-euro yearlings Cracking Gold and Forever Noah are others to watch out for.

NATIVE APPROACH makes plenty of appeal first time up for Godolphin and could be the way to go before market clues. Forever Noah is another interesting newcomer, while Alhather makes most appeal of those with experience.

Charlie Appleby's Too Darn Hot colt NATIVE APPROACH makes plenty of appeal on paper and is taken to go in at the first time of asking.

2	5 2nd (5) (9/4 -13%) Stella Hogan	2.25 9/4(-13%)	(5) Stella Hogan 9/4, C&D winner. Winner here in October. 13/2, respectable second of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f) 6 days ago, left with too much to do. Expected to be bang there. C&D win in October has been followed by three solid efforts in defeat; one to consider.
3	1 3rd (1) (4/1 -33%) Capuchinero	4 4/1(-33%)	(1) Capuchinero 4/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. 12/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 42 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Type to bounce back quickly with headgear applied. Chelmsford winner in November and ran well under a penalty six days later; headgear on now.
4	6 4th (6) (18/1 -125%) Regal Glory	18 18/1(-125%)	(6) Regal Glory 18/1, 12/1, bit below form eighth of 14 in minor event at Bath (8f, good). Off 6 months. Likely to need the run. 7f AW winner as a 2yo; running okay when last seen but vulnerable back from six months off.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -55%) Princess Naomi	8.5 17/2(-55%)	(4) Princess Naomi 17/2, Seventh of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 25/1) 15 days ago. Should come on for latest outing, so worthy of interest. Conditions shouldn't be an issue; on a good mark & sharper for recent return; contender.
6th	2 6th (2) (10/1 -82%) Goldkit	10 10/1(-82%)	(2) Goldkit 10/1, Blinkered for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 9/1) 21 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Needs to bounce back. Blinkers/6f didn't work last time but this trip should be more suitable; dangerous mark.
7th	7 7th (7) (125/1 -279%) Madam Pickle	125 125/1(-279%)	(7) Madam Pickle 125/1, 66/1, eighth of 12 in nursery at Chelmsford City (6f), met some trouble. Off 14 months. Hard to make any sort of case for. Little solid form as a 2yo (6f-7f); absent for 442 days and she's hard to recommend.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

STELLA HOGAN didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when runner-up at Chelmsford last week and if running to a similar level on this quick turnaround, compensation may await. First-time cheekpieces could eke out enough improvement for Capuchinero to be involved in the shake-up and Alice Haynes' mare also warrants consideration in this company. Goldkit has fallen to a low enough mark to have a say in proceedings too, with the return to 7f appearing ideal.

STELLA HOGAN was set too much to do at Chelmsford last time and was only beaten by an improver so, in the hope that there's a solid pace on, she's preferred to Capuchinero, who is expected to be back on her game. Harriet's Angel is the pick of the remainder.

A trappy event in which PRINCESS NAOMI can take a step forward with her reappearance behind her. Stella Hogan is next best.

Half-sister to several winners, including 1½m winner Twitch and 2-y-o 1m winner Kaloor, both useful. Interesting newcomer. 36,000gns yearling; half-sis to 6 winners out of a well-related mare; interesting newcomer.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/4 +0%) Miss Monte Carlo	1.25 5/4(+0%)	(5) Miss Monte Carlo 5/4, Promising type. Second of 13 in novice at this course (1m) on debut 21 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Likely to improve and the one to beat. Short-head 2nd over 1m here on debut 3 weeks ago; bred to stay; more appealing than most.
3	1 3rd (1) (33/1 -32%) Angelica K	33 33/1(-32%)	(1) Angelica K 33/1, Connections went to 55,000 gns to acquire this Mastercraftsman filly last year. Half-sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Convection. One to note in the betting. 55,000gns 3yo; dam from an excellent family; doesn't have a daunting standard to aim at.
4	6 4th (6) (14/1 +44%) Ortigia	14 14/1(+44%)	(6) Ortigia 14/1, 11/1 and hooded, twelfth of 13 in maiden at this course (1m) on debut 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Never travelled and always in rear over 1m here six weeks ago; hood left off today.

6th	8 6th (8) (25/1 +0%) Sun Dancer Girl	25 25/1(+0%)	(8) Sun Dancer Girl 25/1, Twice-raced filly. 66/1, eighth of 14 in novice at Chelmsford (1¼m) 41 days ago. Well held in two AW runs this winter; today's extra distance not enough to tempt.
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 +33%) Anna Of Saxony	22 22/1(+33%)	(2) Anna Of Saxony 22/1, Seahenge filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 8.5f-12.5f winner Byford and 1m winner Torque Power. Dam French winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner). Bred to have a future so worth a precautionary betting check. Half-sister to six winners out of a Listed winner; yard not renowned for winning newcomers.
8th	4 8th (4) (7/2 +0%) Hail The Flag	3.5 7/2(+0%)	(4) Hail The Flag 7/2, 16/1, third of 9 in novice at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 16/1) on debut 17 days ago. Open to improvement. Shaped with promise on recent Wolverhampton debut; more to come over this trip; contender.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Miss Monte Carlo offered plenty to work with when touched off on debut here. Ed Walker's filly is a potential improver now facing another three furlongs, but newcomer SILENT GLANCE is still worth risking. The daughter of Bated Breath is a half-sister to six winners, with 1m6f Listed scorer Twitch the pick of the bunch, so the trip shouldn't be an issue. Wolverhampton third Hail The Flag should give another good account of herself.

MISS MONTE CARLO is taken to build on the promise of last month's 1m course debut second now stepped up to a trip which should suit her on breeding. Wolverhampton third Hail The Flag looks the danger unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Ralph Beckett newcomer Silent Glance.

Silent Glance is a newcomer of some interest but HAIL THE FLAG is tentatively selected to confirm her debut promise.

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

The Bay Warrior left it late to get up over 1m3f here earlier this month so he is a likely candidate back over an extra furlong, but TURNER GIRL gets the vote. Ed Dunlop's mare is effectively 5lb lower than when narrowly denied at Newcastle last week, after taking into account Morgan Cole's claim, so she appears well placed to go one better. Cresta Cat merits close inspection ahead of his handicap bow.

TURNER GIRL was only just edged out at Newcastle on Friday and can make amends off the same mark. The Bay Warrior did well to win here earlier this month and looks the obvious threat, with Phantasy Mac best of the others.

Renardeau is interesting on the back of a wind op but LAWMAKER may be worth chancing on his stable/handicap debut.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (7/2 +56%) Mostly Sunny	3.5 7/2(+56%)	(1) Mostly Sunny 7/2, Seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (16.5f, 8/1) 40 days ago. Blinkers back on. Others more persuasive. Winless since 2022 and came in only seventh at Southwell last month; blinkers go back on.
1	11 1st (11) (4/5 +64%) Barrel Aged	0.8 4/5(+64%)	(11) Barrel Aged 4/5, 13/8, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 19 days ago by short head from De Vega's Warrior, showing good attitude. Can go well again. Off the mark at Southwell latest; 2m will suit so big shout with few miles on the clock.
2	8 2nd (8) (17/2 +39%) The Bunt	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(8) The Bunt 17/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 40/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving Simon & Ed Crisford when sixth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 37 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Off 12 months (had wind op) and not discredited when sixth in Wolver maiden; considered.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 -43%) De Vega's Warrior	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) De Vega's Warrior 5/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. Blinkered for 1st time, good short-head second of 11 to Barrel Aged in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 11/2) 19 days ago, missing break. Expected to be bang there. Edged out by Barrel Aged at Southwell 19 days ago; another bold showing is on the cards.
4	4 4th (4) (33/1 -32%) Wilderness	33 33/1(-32%)	(4) Wilderness 33/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 11/1, eighth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (19f, good to soft) 55 days ago. Fair on the Flat, poor on last Flat run. Others more persuasive. On a long losing run and recent form on the Flat/hurdles isn't overly encouraging either.
5th	2 5th (2) (50/1 -52%) Indigo Times	50 50/1(-52%)	(2) Indigo Times 50/1, C&D winner. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. 150/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 18 days ago, missing break. C&D winner but he looked rusty after 18 months off when tenth over C&D 18 days ago.
6th	9 6th (9) (10/1 -150%) Thirtyfourstitches	10 10/1(-150%)	(9) Thirtyfourstitches 10/1, Useful winner at 23f over hurdles. Respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 17 days ago, needing stiffer test. Makes polytrack debut. Fairly useful hurdles winner but yet to match that form on the Flat; may still do better.
7th	5 7th (5) (33/1 -267%) Militry Decoration	33 33/1(-267%)	(5) Militry Decoration 33/1, Found run of good form coming to a halt when last of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy, 33/1). Off 120 days. Worth a look on return. Off since last at Nottingham in September; needs to hit the ground running after layoff.
8th	6 8th (6) (25/1 -56%) Phoenix Aquilus	25 25/1(-56%)	(6) Phoenix Aquilus 25/1, 5/1, creditable third of 11 in handicap hurdle at Taunton (16.5f, good to soft) 41 days ago. Fair on the all weather, poor on last Flat run. Good third in 2m Taunton handicap hurdle last month; considered back in this sphere.
9th	10 9th (10) (33/1 -136%) San Pedro	33 33/1(-136%)	(10) San Pedro 33/1, 9/4, creditable third of 7 in handicap hurdle at Plumpton (25f, soft) 65 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code. Poor on last Flat outing. Solid third for new yard in 3m1f Plumpton h'cap hurdle in November; in the picture.
10th	3 10th (3) (10/1 -67%) Planet Legend	10 10/1(-67%)	(3) Planet Legend 10/1, Dual winner over hurdles last season. Below par this term, including back on the Flat latest. A two-time hurdles winner for his current yard but below par back in this sphere over C&D.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

There was little to separate BARREL AGED (winner) and De Vega's Warrior (second) when the pair met at Southwell last time, and the former is expected to confirm those placings en route to further success. Marco Botti's unexposed stayer has been raised just 2lb in the ratings for that victory and he looks sure to progress once again. Planet Legend is most appealing of the remainder.

There was little to choose between BARREL AGED and De Vega's Warrior when first and second at Southwell 3 weeks ago, but the much less-exposed Barrel Aged can come out on top again. Militry Decoration is the type to bounce back after a break and is best of the rest.

Marco Botti's lightly raced 4yo BARREL AGED (nap) gets a confident vote to follow up his recent Southwell success over this longer trip

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
