(9) Island Of Skye 11/4, C&D winner. Placed for the fourth consecutive start when third of 12 in handicap (11/2) at this C&D 12 days ago. Likely contender with blinkers now the choice of headgear. C&D winner; threatening in four runs for new stable; change of headgear today.

2nd (6) (3/1 +54%) Wake Up Harry
3
3/1(+54%)
(6) Wake Up Harry 3/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Hinted at revival when eighth of 14 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, despite having been caught wide. Lurks on a dangerous mark if building on his latest effort. On a dangerous mark and more promise here last month; should be winning soon.

3rd (3) (22/1 -175%) Jumeira Vision
22
22/1(-175%)
(3) Jumeira Vision 22/1, Hasn't progressed from his debut (only start for John & Thady Gosden), eighth of 11 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 40/1) 27 days ago. However, he could yet do better now handicapping. Faces a more realistic task now handicapping but not obviously thrown in.

4th (11) (33/1 +50%) Adaayinourlife
33
33/1(+50%)
(11) Adaayinourlife 33/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. Well below form last 2 starts, eighth of 11 in minor event (25/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) on his latest outing in July. Significantly back down in trip. This summer's best efforts have come over much further; opposable over 1m after a break.
5th

5th (8) (18/1 +55%) Roar Emotion
18
18/1(+55%)
(8) Roar Emotion 18/1, Off the mark at this C&D in January. Hasn't been in the same form since, though, in first-time cheekpieces when twelfth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Now tried with blinkers. C&D winner off 7lb higher in April; struggled badly since; new headgear now tried.
6th

6th (7) (10/3 +17%) Curtiz
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(7) Curtiz 10/3, After almost a year off, shaped as if retaining his ability when fifth of 14 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Can step forward from his recent run to take advantage of his career-low mark. Promising return from a year off here last month; well handicapped; leading contender.
7th
1
7th (1) (5/1 -11%) Glory Sky
5
5/1(-11%)
(1) Glory Sky 5/1, Opened account here (7f) in May. Again ran well when fourth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, faring best of those ridden prominently. Shortlisted. 7f winner here in May; consistent rather than progressive since; each-way shout.
8th
10
8th (10) (40/1 -186%) Red Dwarf
40
40/1(-186%)
(10) Red Dwarf 40/1, Lightly-raced maiden. After 20 months off, first run since leaving Patrick Leech when last of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 2 weeks ago. Market could be informative with her reappearance behind her. Should come on for recent return from long absence; worth a market check.
9th
4
9th (4) (33/1 -18%) Evasive Power
33
33/1(-18%)
(4) Evasive Power 33/1, Successful at Brighton in September, but not in the same form when eleventh of 14 in handicap (40/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Followed 7f win at Brighton with modest C&D effort 19 days ago; needs a quick bounce back.
10th
2
10th (2) (28/1 -229%) Dynakite
28
28/1(-229%)
(2) Dynakite 28/1, Four-time C&D winner, with latest success here in July. Below form 16 lengths eleventh of 13 to Dourado in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good) later the same month. Not discounted back at this venue after a break. All four wins have come over C&D; can go well after a break; still on a handy mark.
11th
5
11th (5) (22/1 -22%) Dourado
22
22/1(-22%)
(5) Dourado 22/1, Two wins from 6 runs this year, including at this C&D on the first occasion. Soon back to form when 2½ lengths seventh of 14 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. May just find others stronger. C&D winner in May and also won at Windsor in July; midfield over C&D latest; others safer.
LTO Selection:
13:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Dynakite has won four races and all of them came over this C&D. He can go well and could be the biggest danger to ISLAND OF SKYE, who has hit a top three-spot on all four starts for his new yard. Only been beaten a neck and half a length respectively on his last two starts, first-time blinkers may find the improvement needed for him to score. Glory Sky is another to consider for the stable who won this last year and she drops in a class following a solid fourth at Wolverhampton.
CURTIZ shaped encouragingly when not beaten far at this C&D on his recent return and, having been eased further in the weights, he could be ready to get back to winning ways. Island of Skye has been holding his form well and is feared most in first-time blinkers, ahead of Glory Sky.
Dynakite and Wake Up Harry are on the radar for a similar event but CURTIZ has been better than this level and gets the nod.
(1) English Rose 10/11, Bred to be smart and, wearing a hood, made a winning start in good style in 11-runner maiden at Newmarket (7f, good, 9/2) in May. Off since but she's a leading contender with improvement to come. Beat an odds-on stablemate at Newmarket in May and she's a big player again on return.
2
14
2nd (14) (14/1 -75%) Torchlight
14
14/1(-75%)
(14) Torchlight 14/1, Made plenty of appeal on paper and showed promise when fourth of 5 in minor event at Yarmouth (10.1f, good to firm, 8/1) on debut 88 days ago. Can do better with that first experience behind her as she drops in trip. Faded into a well-held fourth of five at Yarmouth and she needs to leave that form behind.
3
3
3rd (3) (7/4 +50%) Twirling
1.75
7/4(+50%)
(3) Twirling 7/4, Created a good impression on debut when winning 11-runner minor event at this C&D (3/1) in January, cosily. Respected despite her absence. Won over C&D in January and that form has worked out really well; respected on return.
4
5
4th (5) (40/1 -150%) Abbey Gardens
40
40/1(-150%)
(5) Abbey Gardens 40/1, €100,000 yearling, Kodiac filly. Dam, French 11f winner, half-sister to smart French 1¼m/10.5f winner Adventure Seeker, herself dam of very smart sprinter Little Big Bear. Yard capable of readying a newcomer. Well-bred stablemate of Twirling and interesting to see how she figures in market.
5th
13
5th (13) (7/1 +18%) Throubi
7
7/1(+18%)
(13) Throubi 7/1, Raced too freely when fourth of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (1m, heavy, 3/1) on her second start last year. Off 12 months since with hood on 1st time. Remains with potential. Has leading claims on her Doncaster form last autumn; hood is added on comeback.
6th
4
6th (4) (150/1 -127%) Tayanna
150
150/1(-127%)
(4) Tayanna 150/1, Sepoy mare. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 9f North Star Boy and 5f-7f winner Bazaruto, both useful. Difficult ask. Refused to enter the stalls here in December 2021 and now returns as a 5yo; best watched.
7th
8
7th (8) (16/1 -100%) Flindrikin
16
16/1(-100%)
(8) Flindrikin 16/1, Frankel filly. Sister to useful 1½m winner Icykel. Dam, British/South African 5.5f-7f winner, half-sister to winning South African sprinter Viva La Var, out of South African Group 3 6f winner Viva. Noteworthy newcomer. Frankel filly who is a sister to a useful AW winner; needs close look on debut.
8th
9
8th (9) (80/1 -100%) Glimmer Of Light
80
80/1(-100%)
(9) Glimmer Of Light 80/1, Showed plenty to work on when fifth of 12 in maiden (33/1) at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago, keeping on having been outpaced 2f out. Likely to stay further than 1m in time. Showed some ability here last month but she needs major improvement upped in trip.
9th
11
9th (11) (125/1 -279%) Realised
125
125/1(-279%)
(11) Realised 125/1, Upped in trip, showed bit more than on debut when fifth of 14 in maiden (10/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Needs another run for a mark. Beaten 11l in both her runs this autumn and remains best watched for now.
10th
12
10th (12) (28/1 -12%) Shiva Shakti
28
28/1(-12%)
(12) Shiva Shakti 28/1, After 6 months off, went backwards from her debut effort when fifteenth of 16 in maiden (6/1) at Newbury (10f, heavy) in April. Absent another 6 months ahead of first run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden. Runner-up on debut last October but tailed off in only one run since; now with new yard.
11th
7
11th (7) (200/1 -100%) Dotties Moon
200
200/1(-100%)
(7) Dotties Moon 200/1, Some encouragement amidst greenness when sixth of 14 in maiden (200/1) at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft) on debut 3 weeks ago. Much more required but she's entitled to progress from her first run. Well-held sixth on her Windsor debut last month and has plenty to find here.
12th
6
12th (6) (150/1 +0%) Daring Greatly
150
150/1(+0%)
(6) Daring Greatly 150/1, Ran to only a modest level on her first start when ninth of 12 in maiden (100/1) at this course (7f) 3 weeks ago. Looks to be up against it. 100-1 here (7f) on debut last month and never got involved before finishing ninth of 12.
13th
10
13th (10) (125/1 -213%) Moda Minx
125
125/1(-213%)
(10) Moda Minx 125/1, Buratino filly. Dam sprint maiden out of unraced sister to useful French/US 1m-9f winner Tale of Life. Has a fairly useful standard to aim at on debut. Out of a half-sister to two winners but this looks a tough starting point; best watched.
14th
2
14th (2) (28/1 -100%) Silver Leaf
28
28/1(-100%)
(2) Silver Leaf 28/1, Overcame inexperience when landing 6-runner maiden at Ffos Las (7.4f, soft, 12/1) on debut 53 days ago, hanging left but going clear last ½f. Likely to progress from that first outing. Clearcut win at Ffos Las in September and she's respected under a penalty.
LTO Selection:
14:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Shiva Shakti disappointed at Newbury in April but has her first start for Ed Walker here and she may be better judged on a promising debut second over this trip at Yarmouth. She seems worth a market watch, but preference is for ENGLISH ROSE. A winner at Newmarket on her only start in May, she has not been seen since but that patience may pay off with a second success for the Frankel filly. Silver Leaf pulled off a 12/1 surprise at Ffos Las in January and warrants respect.
ENGLISH ROSE looked a useful prospect when getting the better of her odds-on stablemate at Newmarket in May and she can progress from that effort to provide Charlie Appleby with back-to-back wins in this race. Twirling also impressed when she made a winning debut back in January, while Torchlight can take a step forward from her first outing.
Godolphin's ENGLISH ROSE finished well to beat an odds-on rival at Newmarket on her debut in May and is open to progress on her return.
(6) Royal Power 5/4, Very green when posting a promising fifth of 11 in minor event at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago, needing stiffer test. Sure to progress upped to 1m. Player. Made promising late headway for fifth on debut; ought to be more streetwise today.
2
4
2nd (4) (14/1 -27%) Modern Times
14
14/1(-27%)
(4) Modern Times 14/1, 7/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Redcar (7f, good to firm) on debut 40 days ago, well positioned. Should improve. Shaped with promise before fading into fourth of six at Redcar (7f) six weeks ago.
3
10
3rd (10) (28/1 -75%) Incensed
28
28/1(-75%)
(10) Incensed 28/1, Foaled March 31. Ulysses filly. Sister to winner abroad. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart winner up to 2¼m Desert Skyline out of smart 10.5f-12.5f winner Diamond Tango. Yard can ready them so she's worth a market check. Has a lot of stamina in her pedigree; interesting to see how she fares.
4
5
4th (5) (14/1 +13%) Morawig
14
14/1(+13%)
(5) Morawig 14/1, 6/1, seventh of 10 in minor event at Salisbury (8f, heavy) on debut 32 days ago. Needs to build on it. Made a lot of the running before weakening on soft-ground debut; can improve.
5th
1
5th (1) (13/2 -30%) Cool Legend
6.5
13/2(-30%)
(1) Cool Legend 13/2, Foaled February 5. €410,000 yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to useful winner up to 1¼m Sisyphus Strength and half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 9f Chilean. Interesting newcomer. Well-bred colt who cost 410,000euros as a yearling; makes very obvious appeal on paper.
6th
9
6th (9) (28/1 -133%) Blue Akoya
28
28/1(-133%)
(9) Blue Akoya 28/1, Encouraging fifth of 8 in minor event (17/2) at Leicester (8.2f, good) on debut 27 days ago. Should have more to offer. In the mix. Raced a bit too freely and was just a respectable fifth of eight on Leicester debut (1m).
7th
8
7th (8) (14/1 -17%) Yeomanry
14
14/1(-17%)
(8) Yeomanry 14/1, 28/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 13 days ago. Likely to improve. Never really looked dangerous on debut but stuck to his task and wasn't beaten far.
8th
7
8th (7) (50/1 -150%) Spartan Warrior
50
50/1(-150%)
(7) Spartan Warrior 50/1, Foaled March 4. 50,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to 1m-11f winner Silky Warrior. Market can guide. 50,000gns yearling; out of a useful 1m2f winner; market may guide.
9th
3
9th (3) (5/2 +50%) Lucentio
2.5
5/2(+50%)
(3) Lucentio 5/2, Promising fourth of 12 in minor event at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 11/2) on debut 21 days ago. This Too Darn Holt colt can do better so needs considering. With a top stable and made quite pleasing debut when keeping-on fourth at Yarmouth.
10th
2
10th (2) (40/1 +0%) East India Dock
40
40/1(+0%)
(2) East India Dock 40/1, 33/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Newmarket (8f, good to soft) on debut 12 days ago. Always behind (albeit on soft ground) when 33-1 for recent Newmarket debut (1m).
LTO Selection:
14:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
With precious little form to work with, it may pay to side with debut fourth LUCENTIO, who caught the eye at Yarmouth on ground that may have been too soft for him. He ran on well over the seven furlongs there and should appreciate the step up to a mile. Royal Power is an obvious alternative with the Charlie Appleby string in good form and he looked the sort to improve for his debut fifth here last month, while Spartan Warrior is in interesting newcomer for Ollie Sangster, who is having an excellent season.
Charlie Appleby's Frankel colt ROYA POWER shaped well amidst greenness when a debut fifth here and with this longer trip sure to suit he can take a sizeable step forward to get off the mark. William Haggas' newcomer Cool Legend appeals on paper and could emege as the chief threat ahead of Lucentio and Blue Akoya who both look to have more to offer.
Well-bred colt ROYAL POWER was learning on the job before keeping on well for fifth here last month and is likely to improve.
14:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(5) Markoon 11/2, Once-raced colt. Fifth of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 6/1) on debut 38 days ago. Looked badly in need of the experience on that occasion and should do better in time. Well bred but ran to a modest level at Newmarket in September (7f); improvement required.
2
6
2nd (6) (4/6 +33%) Midair
0.666667
4/6(+33%)
(6) Midair 4/6, Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (8f, good to firm, 7/1) 62 days ago, suited by increase in trip. This well-bred colt remains open to improvement and is very much the one to beat. Good 2nd at Goodwood (front 2 clear) over 1m in September; leading claims & more to come.
3
9
3rd (9) (16/1 -60%) Kate The Cook
16
16/1(-60%)
(9) Kate The Cook 16/1, Foaled March 8. Time Test filly. Dam, 1¼m-1¾m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m Opera Baron. Yard enjoying a fine season with its 2-y-os and this filly is one to monitor closely in the betting. Dam a useful 1m2f/1m6f winner (RPR 96); yard having fine year; takes on males on debut.
4
8
4th (8) (8/1 -14%) Regimental Code
8
8/1(-14%)
(8) Regimental Code 8/1, Foaled March 9. American Pharoah colt. Dam, US 5.5f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner American Apple (by American Pharoah). Of obvious interest on debut given that yard he represents, and the market should offer clues with regard to expectations. Good US pedigree; betting usually a good guide with newcomers from this yard.
5th
7
5th (7) (66/1 -230%) Rakki
66
66/1(-230%)
(7) Rakki 66/1, Once-raced gelding. Seventh of 10 in minor event (18/1) at this course (7f) on debut 21 days ago. Likely to be seen in a better light in middle distance handicaps next season. Half-brother to a St Leger winner; promising start here over 7f; longer-term prospect.
6th
4
6th (4) (11/2 +8%) Lord Of Love
5.5
11/2(+8%)
(4) Lord Of Love 11/2, Foaled February 21. Dubawi colt. Dam, winner up to 10.5f (2-y-o 1m winner), half-sister to very smart/ungenuine winner up to 1m (stayed 10.5f) King of Comedy. Respected newcomer from a top yard and the market should be revealing. His brother won on AW recently; dam won French Oaks; of obvious interest on paper.
7th
3
7th (3) (33/1 +0%) Lennox
33
33/1(+0%)
(3) Lennox 33/1, Foaled March 6. €28,000 foal, €72,000 yearling, Muhaarar colt. Dam, 13.3f winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 7f (stayed 1m) James Garfield out of useful 2-y-o 6f/7f winner Whazzat. Entitled to come on for the run. 72,000euros yearling; dam a 1m5f AW winner from a good family; betting to guide on debut.
8th
2
8th (2) (18/1 +10%) Easy Dancer
18
18/1(+10%)
(2) Easy Dancer 18/1, Foaled April 12. Saxon Warrior colt. Half-brother to useful 1¼m-1½m winner Highland Rocker. Dam, 7f-1½m winner, half-sister to useful 1m winner Dynamic. Likely type on paper and interesting to see what the market has to say. Half-brother to 1m2f/1m4f winner Highland Rocker (RPR 99); dam also useful; check betting.
9th
1
9th (1) (25/1 +38%) Caprelo
25
25/1(+38%)
(1) Caprelo 25/1, Once-raced colt. 20/1, sixth of 7 in minor event at Goodwood (9f, soft) on debut 22 days ago. Probably more one for the longer term. Goodwood 6th (1m1f, soft) not without hope; yard's 2yos often improve markedly for a run.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
MIDAIR improved on his debut effort at Newmarket to finish second at Goodwood last time and the son of Frankel should have plenty more to come, so he looks the one to beat. The main threat may be Lord Of Love, who is related to plenty of winners and represents powerful connections on his racecourse debut. Any market support would further add to the confidence behind him, while Markoon should improve from his debut effort at Newmarket when fifth and he completes the shortlist.
It may well be a case of third time lucky for MIDAIR, who is bred to be smart and duly left his debut form behind when chasing home an odds-on shot upped to this trip in a maiden at Goodwood, in turn pulling clear of the rest. The others with experience all appear to be long-term projects and it's likely that one of the newcomers will emerge as the main danger, with Lord of Love and Regimental Code the most appealing of them on paper.
Caprelo looks a likely big improver but MIDAIR sets a good standard and he's open to further progress himself.
15:00 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Lion's Pride 10/3, Lightly-raced winner. Course winner in July. Bit below form 7 lengths third of 6 to Tregony in listed race at Newmarket (12f, good to firm, 5/2) 38 days ago. Still early days and he merits respect back on the AW. Course win (1m3f) in July is strong form; not fully exposed and he is of some interest.
2
4
2nd (4) (4/9 +34%) Measured Time
0.444444
4/9(+34%)
(4) Measured Time 4/9, Course winner. 3 wins from 3 runs. Won 5-runner handicap (8/15) at Newmarket (10f, good to firm) 73 days ago, soon clear. Remains a colt of serious potential and likely to take this step up in class in his stride. 3-3, winning two over 1m here before easy h'cap win at Newmarket; should stay; big chance.
3
1
3rd (1) (14/1 -40%) Belloccio
14
14/1(-40%)
(1) Belloccio 14/1, Smart gelding. C&D winner. 50/1, 6½ lengths fourth of 7 to Bay Bridge in September Stakes at this C&D 58 days ago. May prove vulnerable under a penalty against the 3-y-os. These are his conditions but he's taking on some promising 3yos; tactical race a worry.
4
2
4th (2) (10/1 -67%) Blanchland
10
10/1(-67%)
(2) Blanchland 10/1, Smart colt. Career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (12.4f, 18/1) 20 days ago. Well worth his place back in listed company and, provided that he proves equally effective on polytrack, he won't go down without a fight. Group 3-placed at two; back to form with 1m4f handicap win latest; more to come.
LTO Selection:
15:30 Kempton Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
MEASURED TIME has a perfect record after three starts and he has been sent off favourite for each of those victories. The son of Frankel is now rated 101 after going up 10lb for a smooth victory on his handicap bow at Newmarket last time but he could improve further for this step up in trip and he is a confident selection. C&D winner Belloccio could put up the biggest fight as this is an easier assignment than his fourth behind Bay Bridge in a Group 3 in September. Lion's Pride can beat Blanchland home for third after his third at Listed level last time.
The unbeaten MEASURED TIME is an exciting prospect judged on what he's shown in winning a couple of 1m novice events here and, most recently, a Newmarket handicap over 1¼m. He looks more than ready for this step up in class/trip and is taken to continue his ascent. Blanchland got back on track and made it 2-2 on the all-weather when landing a Newcastle handicap recently, and he gets the nod ahead of Lion's Pride for forecast purposes.
The unbeaten MEASURED TIME faces a stiffer test of his credentials at this level but he's looked hugely promising and can make it 4-4.
(1) Max Mayhem 4/1, Made winning start for current yard at this C&D in April. However, followed good run with a below-par one when eighth of 10 in handicap at Ascot (12f, good, 6/1) 86 days ago. Could bounce back returned to all-weather. Won good C&D h'cap in April; mixed in 1m4f turf handicaps since; could rate higher on AW.
2
6
2nd (6) (16/1 +0%) Andaleep
16
16/1(+0%)
(6) Andaleep 16/1, Better than ever when scoring at York in July. Step back in right direction when sixth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 40 days ago, caught too far back. Interesting contender racing off his lower mark on all-weather. Much lower mark on AW than turf but he's 0-17 in this sphere; others are more appealing.
3
4
3rd (4) (6/1 +25%) Capital Theory
6
6/1(+25%)
(4) Capital Theory 6/1, Back to best when winning at Ayr in September and ran respectably when sixth of 12 in handicap (11/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 20 days ago. Can give his running again. Four AW wins at other tracks; turf win in September was followed by midfield finish latest.

4th (8) (10/1 -43%) Liseo
10
10/1(-43%)
(8) Liseo 10/1, Off the mark at Chelmsford City in September and backed up that effort when fourth of 9 in handicap (14/1) at Windsor (10f, good to soft) 3 weeks ago. Could be thereabouts once more. AW winner in September (1m2f) and ran well enough on turf latest; improvement required.

5th (11) (15/2 +32%) Jack Sparowe
7.5
15/2(+32%)
(11) Jack Sparowe 15/2, Two wins from 5 runs this year, including at this C&D in September. Shaped as if still in form when third of 10 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft, 11/4) 35 days ago, but will need to resume progress as he goes up in grade. C&D win in September can be upgraded & should win more races; 3lb out of the weights here.

6th (7) (33/1 -136%) Maso Bastie

33/1(-136%)
(7) Maso Bastie 33/1, Made a winning reappearance at Nottingham in May. However, well-beaten twelfth of 13 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 40 days ago. Blinkers applied as he makes first run for yard after leaving James Fanshawe. Won 2 of his 7 runs for J Fanshawe; sold 37,000gns since latest start; new headgear today.

7th (10) (28/1 -133%) Duke Of Oxford
28
28/1(-133%)
(10) Duke Of Oxford 28/1, Failed to build on promise of previous run when ninth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at this course (12f) 19 days ago, finding little. Tongue strap now fitted. Won first two starts but subsequent efforts more miss than hit; now tried in a tongue-tie.
8th

8th (12) (12/1 +0%) Wadacre Gomez
12
12/1(+0%)
(12) Wadacre Gomez 12/1, Made all at Chelmsford City in August and has run well both starts since, fourth of 13 in handicap (5/2) at this course (12f) 12 days ago. Tougher ask to repeat the same tactics in this contest, though. No obvious reason he'd reverse C&D form with Jack Sparowe & even that wouldn't be enough.
9th

9th (9) (6/1 +40%) Tenerife Sunshine

6/1(+40%)
(9) Tenerife Sunshine 6/1, Made a winning return at this C&D in August. Excuses both starts since, unsuited by conditions when eighth of 11 in handicap at York (13.8f, heavy, 16/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip with visor on 1st time. Beat Maso Bastie over C&D on belated reappearance; less good on turf since; visored now.
10th

10th (2) (4/1 +0%) Graignes

4/1(+0%)
(2) Graignes 4/1, C&D winner in June. Shaped better than result when fifteenth of 34 in Cambridgeshire (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 37 days ago, not ideally placed. Had been in good form previously so he's a major player. Fair run in the Cambridgeshire; unexposed & progressive on AW; W Buick 1-1 on him.
11th

11th (3) (10/1 +17%) Savvy Knight
10
10/1(+17%)
(3) Savvy Knight 10/1, Successful here (12f) in June. Left a below-par effort on turf behind when fifth of 7 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (12.4f) 35 days ago. Will need to build on his latest effort as he goes back up in grade. Conditions no problem and feasibly weighted on this year's best; easy lead unlikely today.
12th

12th (5) (18/1 -112%) Civil Law
18
18/1(-112%)
(5) Civil Law 18/1, Unproven on testing ground but not discredited when fifth of 7 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy, 25/1) 45 days ago. Could go well back on all-weather having dropped to 2 lb below his last winning mark. Not beaten far on last AW run but form dipped on turf latest; others stronger for the win.
LTO Selection:
16:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 2) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
GRAIGNES is a previous C&D winner who finished in midfield in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September and, based on his last effort on the all-weather at Southwell earlier that month, he looks feasibly treated. William Buick is an eye-catching booking and he could return to winning ways. The main threat appears to be Capital Theory, who was dropped 1lb for his sixth at Newcastle on his latest outing and should go well. Of the remainder, top-weight Max Mayhem makes the most appeal.
The series final can go the way of GRAIGNES, who had been holding his form well prior to racing in the unfavoured far-side group in the Cambridgeshire last time. He is taken to see off the challenge of Liseo, who can give another good account back on all-weather, while C&D winner Max Mayhem is another to consider returned to polytrack.
Jack Sparowe can go well despite being out of the weights but MAX MAYHEM impressed here in the spring and can defy top weight.
(4) Mount Athos 7/4, Dual C&D winner. Step back in right direction when fourth of 9 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good to soft, 4/1) 66 days ago. Not taken lightly back at this venue having been gelded since his last outing. Front-runner; 2-2 over C&D; gelded since last seen; may not have reached his ceiling yet.

2nd (6) (6/1 +14%) Aratus
6
6/1(+14%)
(6) Aratus 6/1, Won at this C&D on sole start on all-weather. After 13 months off (had another wind op), looked hard ride when tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 2/1) 10 days ago. Hood now reached for. Couldn't reward heavy support on his return 10 days ago; hood a good move; dangerous mark.

3rd (1) (13/2 +7%) Juan Les Pins
6.5
13/2(+7%)
(1) Juan Les Pins 13/2, Course winner whose latest success came at Nottingham in June. As good as ever on his last 2 starts, 1¼ lengths fourth of 10 to Annaf in Bengough Stakes at Ascot (6f, good to firm, 12/1) a month ago. Enters calculations. Improved again in recent months; lofty mark as a consequence and just 1-17 over this trip.

4th (7) (7/1 +30%) Larado
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Larado 7/1, Ran up to best under an enterprising ride when second of 10 in handicap at this course (1m, 50/1) 12 days ago, though hung badly left home turn. Faces tougher task from 2 lb out of the weights. Ran well over 1m here 12 days ago (blew the home turn); 4lb higher and needs more.
5th
3
5th (3) (3/1 +25%) Tacarib Bay
3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Tacarib Bay 3/1, Raced freely when seventeenth of 20 in Golden Mile Handicap at Goodwood (1m, soft, 8/1) in August. Remains lightly raced on all-weather and could be ready to return to winning ways back down in trip. Ascot sixth in July (easy winner of his group) makes him of some interest in this field.
6th

6th (5) (14/1 +0%) Stone Soldier
14
14/1(+0%)
(5) Stone Soldier 14/1, C&D winner. After 12 months off, ran well making his first start since leaving Archie Watson when second of 11 in handicap at Chester (7f, soft, 10/1) 52 days ago. Could build on his reappearance run back on all-weather. C&D winner for James Given; promising start for new yard in September; higher AW mark.
7th

7th (2) (22/1 -120%) Lord Of The Lodge
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Lord Of The Lodge 22/1, Run best excused when fifth of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) in July, doing too much too soon. Remains 2 lb above his last winning mark, though, as he returns from 4 months off (has been gelded). Useful front-runner on AW; can go well fresh and he has the ability to feature.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
STONE SOLDIER filled second place on his belated seasonal return at Chester in September and it would be no surprise to see him go one better with the benefit of that outing. Tacarib Bay has been highly tried this season and it would be no surprise to see him go well in a race of this nature, while Mount Athos and Larado are others to note.
Back up in trip, TACARIB BAY raced too freely when running below-par at the Goodwood Festival when last seen, but returned to 7f/all-weather he can bounce back to land a first success of the year. Mount Athos has won both of his starts at this C&D and is respected on the back of a gelding operation, with Juan Les Pins the pick of the remainder.
A good-quality handicap in which TACARIB BAY (nap) may finally be able to exploit what looks a manageable mark.
(10) Folk Star 6/1, C&D winner in September. Fourth of 6 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (1½m) 39 days ago. Should be in the shake-up. Two 3rds and a C&D win from 3 Kempton visits; progress stalled latest but yard going well.

11/2(+39%)
(1) Haseefah 11/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Goodwood (1¾m, soft) 40 days ago. Down in trip. Handicapper on top this year but today's drop in class could see her in a better light.

3rd (7) (11/4 +45%) Miss Dolly Rocker
2.75
11/4(+45%)
(7) Miss Dolly Rocker 11/4, Winner at Nottingham in July. Very good second of 10 in handicap at Bath (1¼m, soft, 5/1) 35 days ago. Big player. Promise in both course runs; career best when second at Bath latest; solid candidate.

4th (5) (9/2 +10%) Warren Hill
4.5
9/2(+10%)
(5) Warren Hill 9/2, Winner at Nottingham (1¼m) in August. Third next time and possibly unsuited by heavy ground when well beaten back at Nottingham latest. One to consider. Ready win at Nottingham in Aug; soft ground excuses latest low-key run; not fully exposed.
5th

5th (6) (18/1 +28%) Gentle Whinny
18
18/1(+28%)
(6) Gentle Whinny 18/1, Lightly-raced winner. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Salisbury (1¼m, firm, 7/1). Off 146 days. Makes polytrack debut. 1m novice winner as a 2yo; yet to shine in two handicaps this year; upped in trip today.

(2) Thebeautifulgame 18/1, 7/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at Chester (1¼m, heavy) 37 days ago, possibly unsuited by conditions. Claims on her Sandown third prior to that, Could improve for this new trip and she's on a fair mark if that is the case.
7th

7th (11) (14/1 +0%) Showy

14/1(+0%)
(11) Showy 14/1, Fair form. 7/2, creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. 0-6 but shown promise; didn't get home over 11.5f latest; still has potential; AW debut.
8th

8th (3) (20/1 -43%) Now Then Wendy
20
20/1(-43%)
(3) Now Then Wendy 20/1, Won a 1½m Southwell novice in January. Off 9 months, may have needed the run when eighth of 9 in handicap at Windsor (1¼m, good to soft, 50/1) 21 days ago. Should strip fitter now. Unexposed mare who could benefit from a return to AW; perhaps sharper for latest run too.
9th

9th (4) (18/1 -260%) Miss Dynamic
18
18/1(-260%)
(4) Miss Dynamic 18/1, 1m maiden winner at 2. This a very belated reappearance but she does have unexposed potential on this handicap debut. 1m win as a 2yo; bred to stay well but has a 430-day absence to overcome; handicap debut.
10th

10th (8) (14/1 -40%) Arenas Del Tiempo
14
14/1(-40%)
(8) Arenas Del Tiempo 14/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 6/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Windsor (11.5f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Respected. Over two years since last of her three wins; twice placed this autumn but others stronger.
11th
9
11th (9) (8/1 -23%) Orange Martini
8
8/1(-23%)
(9) Orange Martini 8/1, Creditable fifth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (1¼m, heavy, 5/1) 14 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. 0-7 but has shown promise and the switch to AW could prove beneficial; considered.
LTO Selection:
17:05 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Soft ground was a valid excuse for WARREN HILL's poor performance at Nottingham last time and she can be given another chance here based on her narrow defeat off this mark the time before. The consistent Miss Dolly Rocker is likely to be in the mix once again and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Arenas Del Tiempo and Miss Dynamic.
MISS DOLLY ROCKER has yet to finish out of the first 3 and gets the nod to land a second career success now returning to AW for the first time this year. Warren Hill, who had testing ground as an excuse for a poor run last time, and Arenas Del Tiempo are others to consider, while Miss Dynamic is one to note in the betting on her belated return to action.
Lots of possibles but ORANGE MARTINI could benefit from a switch to AW and today's longer trip.
(3) Dark Side Thunder 11/4, Course winner. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. Creditable third of 11 in handicap at this course (6f, 4/1) 26 days ago. keeping on final 1f having been forced wider than ideal. Remains unexposed at this trip. All wins over 6f but stays this far and was keeping on late over 6f here last month.

2nd (12) (13/2 +19%) Chifa
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(12) Chifa 13/2, 3 wins from 9 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in October. 9/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 16 days ago, forced to switch/hampered and finishing with running left. Has to be taken seriously. Well suited by a well-run 7f; no luck in running at Wolverhampton latest; still in form.
3
5
3rd (5) (80/1 -220%) Maysan
80
80/1(-220%)
(5) Maysan 80/1, Fairly useful performer in France, winner of an 8-runner handicap at Lyon Parilly (6.7f, good to soft) in June. However, friendless in betting and below best when tenth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f) on debut for new yard 32 days ago. 7f winner in France in June; low-key stable/British debut last month; risky for now.
4
9
4th (9) (9/2 +0%) Epic Express
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(9) Epic Express 9/2, Course winner. 14/1, good second of 12 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago, running on. Merits consideration. 6f turf winner in May; unlucky when 2nd over C&D latest; set to go well once more.
5th
6
5th (6) (8/1 -14%) Lady Mojito

8/1(-14%)
(6) Lady Mojito 8/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to soft, 6/1) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly. Easy winner of a 7f novice last autumn; 0-6 this year; drops in class and switches to AW.
6th
7
6th (7) (11/1 -22%) Dutch Kingdom
11
11/1(-22%)
(7) Dutch Kingdom 11/1, Course winner. 22/1, last of 10 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good) 70 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Very best efforts to date have come on AW and he's operating 4 lb below last winning mark. Had wind op. 1m win here off 4lb higher in March; struggled on turf since; had wind op; could revive.
7th
10
7th (10) (66/1 -230%) Reputation
66
66/1(-230%)
(10) Reputation 66/1, Last of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Needs to leave recent exploits well behind if he's to figure here. Veteran who hasn't found his form in four runs back from a year off.
8th
1
8th (1) (10/1 +0%) Spacer
10
10/1(+0%)
(1) Spacer 10/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) when last seen in January, hampering his chance by not settling. Absent since and market best guide here from easing mark. Yet to win a handicap; absent since January and he's landed the widest stall; opposable.
9th

9th (8) (80/1 -220%) Many A Year
80
80/1(-220%)
(8) Many A Year 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 13 in handicap (20/1) at this C&D 58 days ago, dropping away over 2f out. First run for yard after leaving Brian Meehan. Hood on 1st time. Twice a runner-up for B Meehan but well beaten on h'cap debut; sold 1,500gns last month.
10th

10th (11) (11/2 +15%) Unsung Hero
5.5
11/2(+15%)
(11) Unsung Hero 11/2, Dual C&D winner. 33/1, produced best effort of present campaign equipped with first-time blinkers when fourth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (6f) 38 days ago. Well drawn if he can back that up returned to this venue. Two C&D wins last September; signs of a revival in blinkers latest; well drawn to attack.
11th

11th (2) (17/2 +15%) Smalleytime
8.5
17/2(+15%)
(2) Smalleytime 17/2, Winner at Salisbury (6f) in July. 28/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at York (7f, heavy) 24 days ago, weakening before 2f with conditions a plausible excuse. Remains early days with him and better showing anticipated back on AW. 6f novice win on turf; drops in class today & the ground excuses latest effort; unexposed.

12th (4) (16/1 -167%) Optiva Star
16
16/1(-167%)
(4) Optiva Star 16/1, Rattled off quick-fire hat-trick at Brighton (1m) in September and ran another cracker when runner-up back at that venue (1m, heavy) 18 days ago, headed close home. Needs to translate his recent improvement on turf back on AW. In fine form at Brighton in recent months, winning three; drawn wide back on AW.
LTO Selection:
17:40 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Optiva Star has to be considered given his outstanding form in recent months, but marginal preference is for EPIC EXPRESS. The five-year-old made the frame twice over C&D last month and he merits the utmost respect off just 1lb higher than when a close second on the most recent of those occasions. The shortlist is completed by Dark Side Thunder and Chifa.
EPIC EXPRESS again found only an unexposed 3-y-o too strong over C&D on his latest outing 3 weeks ago and, from a handy draw, he could well be up to coming out on top with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb here. Chifa, who wasn't seen to best effect at Wolverhampton recently, is a threat from a handy draw, with Dark Side Thunder and Smalleytime completing the shortlist.
Both Chifa and EPIC EXPRESS ran into traffic problems on their latest start and the latter can gain compensation this afternoon.

About U.K Horse Racing
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.
