Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	9 1st (9) (11/1 +39%) Aspire To Glory	11 11/1(+39%)	(9) Aspire To Glory 11/1, No significant impact in 4 nurseries. A change of headgear needs to spark improvement. Some ability on penultimate start, but pulled too hard last time; hood on; drawn wide.
2	4 2nd (4) (18/1 -13%) Compton Bay	18 18/1(-13%)	(4) Compton Bay 18/1, Modest form. Third in 7f Wolverhampton nursery in October but ran no sort of race at Chelmsford since. First-time cheekpieces need to help spark a revival. Third at Wolverhampton in October, but pulled too hard last time; cheekpieces on.
3	14 3rd (14) (66/1 +0%) Tea Leaf Ted	66 66/1(+0%)	(14) Tea Leaf Ted 66/1, No form of worth. Blinkered first time, last of 9 to Birkie Boy in nursery at Brighton (7f, good) 64 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces the headgear of choice this time. Has beaten just one rival in four starts on turf; drawn high; cheekpieces on.
4	7 4th (7) (16/1 -14%) Damia	16 16/1(-14%)	(7) Damia 16/1, Modest form. First run since leaving Peter Chapple-Hyam when respectable fourth of 18 in nursery (22/1) at Leicester (6f, good) 64 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Fourth in last two starts, on both occasions shaping as though the return to 7f would suit.
5th	11 5th (11) (16/1 -60%) Run Joy Run	16 16/1(-60%)	(11) Run Joy Run 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 11 in nursery at this course (6f, 33/1) 28 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Behind three of these on nursery debut here last time; needs another step up.
6th	3 6th (3) (11/4 -10%) Perfect Spring	2.75 11/4(-10%)	(3) Perfect Spring 11/4, Lightly-raced maiden. Improved when second of 11 in nursery at this course (6f, 5/2) 28 days ago. Taken to go one better now returning to 7f. Had four of these behind when second over 6f here four weeks ago; 7f not a problem.
7th	2 7th (2) (10/3 +17%) Hand Jive	3.333333 10/3(+17%)	(2) Hand Jive 10/3, 10/3, creditable fourth of 11 in nursery at Wolverhampton (6f) 8 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Enters calculations on form but the widest stall is a negative. Shouldn't have a problem with return to 7f on Polytrack debut, but widest stall not ideal.
8th	8 8th (8) (14/1 +58%) Restricted	14 14/1(+58%)	(8) Restricted 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Eighth of 9 in nursery at Chelmsford (6f, 14/1) 34 days ago. Others more obvious. Yet to threaten in five starts; hard to recommend despite another 3lb drop.
9th	6 9th (6) (3/1 +86%) Glen Heste	3 3/1(+86%)	(6) Glen Heste 3/1, Well held in 3 quick runs on turf over the summer but could fare better now handicapping after a break. One to keep an eye on in the betting. Needs the longer trip to bring about improvement on nursery/AW debut after five months off.
10th	10 10th (10) (18/1 +28%) Subaltern	18 18/1(+28%)	(10) Subaltern 18/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in novice at Chelmsford (6f, 250/1) 34 days ago. Cheekpieces added for handicap debut. Yard also runs Quiet Affair. Not beaten many so far; needs to take a big step forward on nursery debut; cheekpieces on.
11th	13 11th (13) (50/1 -52%) Tejesueno	50 50/1(-52%)	(13) Tejesueno 50/1, Beat only a few home in 3 outings in the spring. Makes handicap debut. Could only consider if backed. Poor in three starts in the spring; lots to prove on nursery debut after seven months off.
12th	12 12th (12) (14/1 -133%) Birkie Boy	14 14/1(-133%)	(12) Birkie Boy 14/1, Winner at Brighton in October. Creditable third of 11 in nursery (13/2) at this course (6f) 28 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Exposed, but has won a race and just behind Perfect Spring here last time; considered.
13th	1 13th (1) (22/1 -175%) Quiet Affair	22 22/1(-175%)	(1) Quiet Affair 22/1, Reacted well to blinkers when fourth of 11 in nursery at this course (6f, 80/1) 28 days ago. Claims if the headgear works again. Shaped as though 7f would suit when fourth here last time; one for the shortlist.

LTO Selection:

17:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash here between the likes of PERFECT SPRING (second), Birkie Boy (third) and Quiet Affair (fourth). Andrew Balding's filly should be suited by stepping back up in trip and she can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Hand Jive has run with plenty of credit on his last two starts and he is another capable of being in the shake-up.

PERFECT SPRING returned from a break with a good second over 6f here 4 weeks ago and can go one better now back over 7f. Quiet Affair wasn't too far behind the selection in fourth on that occasion and should go well again if the blinkers continue to make a difference. Glen Heste is a handicap newcomer to monitor closely in the betting, while Charlie Johnston's Hand Jive could also have a say if stall 14 doesn't prove too troublesome.

The selection is DAMIA who ran well when fourth in a big field on stable debut at Leicester last time. This return to 7f should suit.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (10/1 -11%) Lessay	10 10/1(-11%)	(1) Lessay 10/1, 40,000 gns Churchill colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 11f-2m winner Face The Facts. From a leading yard and would enter the reckoning if the betting vibes are strong. May want a bit further in due course, but still worth a market check.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/11 +64%) Rascal Recknell	0.909091 10/11(+64%)	(6) Rascal Recknell 10/11, Promising individual. Third of 11 in maiden at Sandown (7f, good, 3/1) on debut in July for Owen Burrows. Sold for 215,000 gns in October. Likely improver. Close third in one start for Owen Burrows at Sandown in August (form worked out well).
3	8 3rd (8) (5/1 +0%) Regal Defence	5 5/1(+0%)	(8) Regal Defence 5/1, Pivotal colt. Half-brother to several winners, including 2-y-o 7f winner Shrewd Approach and 5f winner Gossip. Dam winner up to 7.5f (2-y-o 6f winner). Much respected newcomer from a leading stable. Stable doing especially well with 2yo newcomers in recent weeks; market informative.
4	9 4th (9) (150/1 -50%) Rey De La Batalla	150 150/1(-50%)	(9) Rey De La Batalla 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. 18/1, last of 8 in maiden at Epsom (7f, good to firm), very slowly away. Off 146 days. Promise on his Lingfield debut and unbalanced at Epsom next time; each-way claims.
5th	2 5th (2) (11/1 +83%) Midnight Ravens	11 11/1(+83%)	(2) Midnight Ravens 11/1, Cost 45,000 gns at the breeze-ups earlier in the year. Yard 0-5 with 2-y-os this year. Likely best watched. Best watched on debut unless market suggests otherwise.
6th	7 6th (7) (200/1 -400%) Ravenswell	200 200/1(-400%)	(7) Ravenswell 200/1, 40/1, sixth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6f) on debut 30 days ago, left poorly placed. Shaped with some promise when sixth on his Wolverhampton debut last month.
7th	3 7th (3) (150/1 -838%) Newsreader	150 150/1(-838%)	(3) Newsreader 150/1, 45,000 gns Prince of Lir gelding. Half-brother to several winners, including useful 1¼m winner Indicative Vote and useful 5f/5.5f winner Powerallied. Yard also runs Rascal Recknell. Check the betting. Stable can get one ready first time, but already gelded and has the outside stall.
8th	10 8th (10) (300/1 -100%) Running Deal	300 300/1(-100%)	(10) Running Deal 300/1, 200/1, tenth of 13 in C&D maiden on debut 23 days ago. Green when well beaten on his debut over C&D last month.
9th	5 9th (5) (50/1 -100%) Old Chums	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Old Chums 50/1, Modest form in 2 outings over 5f on turf in the spring (last of 3 second occasion). Probably best watched on return. Dam won here and the market may indicate what is expected after such a long absence.
10th	11 10th (11) (50/1 -317%) Sold The Dream	50 50/1(-317%)	(11) Sold The Dream 50/1, 100,000 gns Advertise half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 5.4f Maljaa and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Ventura Mist. Dam 2-y-o 5f winner. Makes paper appeal. Plenty to like on pedigree and stable can ready a newcomer; market support should be noted.
11th	14 11th (14) (300/1 -500%) Through The Echoes	300 300/1(-500%)	(14) Through The Echoes 300/1, Twice-raced maiden. 25/1, tenth of 12 in novice at Southwell (7f) 19 days ago. Oisin Murphy on stable's other runner. Showed nothing in two starts last month.
12th	12 12th (12) (11/4 +21%) Symbol Of Power	2.75 11/4(+21%)	(12) Symbol Of Power 11/4, 11/4, sixth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) on debut 75 days ago. Subsequently gelded and also sports cheekpieces. Interesting to see what the betting makes of him. Well held on his Newmarket debut, but bred to be better than that; cheekpieces on.
13th	13 13th (13) (18/1 -64%) Morning Light	18 18/1(-64%)	(13) Morning Light 18/1, Tenth of 11 in maiden t Doncaster (7f, good to soft) on debut 89 days ago. The fact that she went off as short as 7/2 suggests she is thought capable of better. Green when well held on her Doncaster debut in September; needs to improve and drawn high.
14th	4 14th (4) (80/1 -400%) New Statesman	80 80/1(-400%)	(4) New Statesman 80/1, Churchill colt. Half-brother to 7f winner Zapphire. Dam unraced half-sister to useful winning sprinter Stars Above Me. The betting should help guide to expectations. From a successful family, but winning newcomers from the stable are very rare.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Now in the hands of Kevin Philippart De Foy, RASCAL RECKNELL gets the vote following a highly encouraging introduction at Sandown in August, when third behind a pair of subsequent winners. Better is expected of Symbol Of Power after a disappointing effort when well fancied on debut at Newmarket, since when he has been gelded. Old Chums is another open to improvement, while Regal Defence and Sold The Dream look to be the pick of the newcomers.

RASCAL RECKNELL has changed hands for 215,000 gns since his encouraging debut effort at Sandown over the summer and is given a chance to build on that. Regal Defence, Sold The Dream and Lessay are newcomers who look likely types on paper, while it would also be no surprise were Charlie Appleby's Symbol of Power to prove a different proposition at the second time of asking.

The choice is RASCAL RECKNELL who was picked up for 215,000gns after running so well on debut for Owen Burrows at Sandown in September.

LTO Selection:

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

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

A chance can be taken on FASHION SHOW, who is related to multiple winners and should be suited by this trip on her debut. The daughter of Galileo Gold is preferred to fellow newcomer Attila The Honey, as well as Born A Rebel, who is expected to appreciate going up in trip after a promising third over 7f at Chelmsford last month. Others to note include Jaunty Dancer, Mizuumi and Ortigia.

This will probably go to a debutante, with BELARMINDAR chanced first time up for a yard that has seen a number of their recent newcomers shape well. Fashion Show is also worth a look. Born A Rebel sets a modest standard and the betting will surely prove informative.

The form choice is BORN A REBEL. Flying Finn is an interesting newcomer. Heed the market signals for further guidance.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Things appeared to drop kindly for Timetobenice when he opened his account over C&D last month and the concession of 3lb to FOURONEOHFEVER may just prove too much. George Boughey's colt hasn't done too much wrong in placing on both 7f starts to date and the combination of an extra furlong, plus William Buick taking over in the saddle, can help him make it third-time lucky. All Greek To Me, a half-brother to a US Grade 3 winner, looks potentially interesting from a newcomer perspective.

FOURONEOHFEVER ran another promising race at Newcastle and looks the way to go up in trip with William Buick booked. Sense of Charm is an interesting newcomer and C&D-winner Timetobenice can go well under a penalty, while there is also more to come from Portsmouth.

As regards the few runners with experience, FOURONEOHFEVER is preferred ahead of Timetobenice.

Possibilities back at this venue. Dual C&D winner earlier in year and probably needed last month's handicap debut; respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (7/2 +42%) Soar Above	3.5 7/2(+42%)	(1) Soar Above 7/2, Three-time C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 12 in handicap (28/1) at this C&D 42 days ago. Has good chance on pick of form. Eight of his nine wins have come here; a long time since he raced down at this level.
3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 -18%) Dayman	33 33/1(-18%)	(9) Dayman 33/1, C&D winner. 18/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at this course (8f) 23 days ago. Fair bit to prove at present. C&D winner last year; shown little in two well spaced out starts since returning in May.
4	7 4th (7) (17/2 -21%) Sandy Paradise	8.5 17/2(-21%)	(7) Sandy Paradise 17/2, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 8/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (8f), no match for winner. Off 168 days but each-way claims if fully tuned-up. Gained three of his four wins here; may need this first start in 168 days and drawn widest.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +33%) Dark Side Thunder	3 3/1(+33%)	(5) Dark Side Thunder 3/1, Six wins from 17 Flat runs. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. 11/4, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at this C&D 37 days ago, just holding on. More needed up 3 lb but merits respect all the same. 6-10 on the AW and record here reads 1131; much respected off 3lb higher.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -25%) One More Wave	10 10/1(-25%)	(8) One More Wave 10/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/4, creditable second of 11 in minor event at this C&D when last seen in May. May do better now handicapping but will find easier opportunities than this. Runner-up in both starts over C&D in the spring; makes handicap debut after seven months.
7th	11 7th (11) (10/1 +29%) Crack Regiment	10 10/1(+29%)	(11) Crack Regiment 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021. Last of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Chelmsford City (8f). Off 111 days. Can make his presence felt off this reduced mark, if indeed he is able to bounce back. Only beaten a head over C&D in April; 2lb lower now and 13lb below last winning mark.
8th	2 8th (2) (6/1 +40%) Urban Decay	6 6/1(+40%)	(2) Urban Decay 6/1, C&D winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win here in October. Last of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D 28 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won over C&D in October, but failed to beat a rival here last month; needs a resurgence.
9th	4 9th (4) (16/1 -14%) Matty Too	16 16/1(-14%)	(4) Matty Too 16/1, Blinkered for 1st time, bit below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 22/1) 36 days ago. Visor back on and not entirely discounted off this reduced mark. 6-23 on turf, but only seventh in two starts on the Lingfield Polytrack; enough to prove.
10th	6 10th (6) (22/1 -144%) Perfect Thunder	22 22/1(-144%)	(6) Perfect Thunder 22/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. Sixth of 7 in handicap (16/5) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 18 days ago. On a good mark should she return to form. Out of the frame in all five starts since joining this yard; still more needed.
11th	10 11th (10) (25/1 -56%) Spacer	25 25/1(-56%)	(10) Spacer 25/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 7 lengths eighth of 12 to Dark Side Thunder in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 37 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Well held on return over C&D last month in the race won by Dark Side Thunder; blinkers on.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

A decent contest in which Dark Side Thunder is again likely to be involved after incurring just a 3lb rise for notching a sixth all-weather win (from just 10 starts) over C&D last time out. Course specialist Sandy Paradise should also be in the mix but, if there is any value, it may lie with PERFECT THUNDER, who might appreciate this return to 7f from a falling mark after attracting support on her AW debut at Lingfield.

SOAR ABOVE has failed to beat a rival home the last twice but he usually contests higher-grade handicaps than this and is of strong interest off a very attractive mark. Crack Regiment will be a threat if he puts his best foot forward and the in-form Dark Side Thunder has to be on the shortlist. Others with claims in an open-looking race include McLean House, Matty Too and Sandy Paradise.

The vote goes to DARK SIDE THUNDER (nap) who is 6-10 on the AW and whose record around here reads 1131.

1	4 1st (4) (4/5 -100%) Rebel's Romance	0.8 4/5(-100%)	(4) Rebel's Romance 4/5, Very smart gelding. Course winner. Bit below form 5¾ lengths fourth of 8 to War Like Goddess in Joe Hirsch Turf Classic at Aqueduct (12f, good to soft, 55/100) 67 days ago. The one to beat. High-class globetrotter; below best this year but sets a tall standard on his peak figures.
2	6 2nd (6) (15/2 +73%) Elegant Man	7.5 15/2(+73%)	(6) Elegant Man 15/2, 5/2, won 14-runner maiden at Dundalk (10.7f) on debut 47 days ago, slowly away. Looks a decent prospect but this represents a significant step up in class. Irish raider; won going away at Dundalk on debut; looks a useful prospect.
3	1 3rd (1) (22/1 -100%) Base Note	22 22/1(-100%)	(1) Base Note 22/1, Smart gelding. Five wins from 16 Flat runs. 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Chelmsford City (10f, 5/1) 34 days ago. Fair bit to find with Rebel's Romance but good chance of finishing second. Progressive on AW; comfortably defied top weight in Chelmsford handicap last time.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 -9%) Blanchland	12 12/1(-9%)	(5) Blanchland 12/1, Smart colt. Latest win at Newcastle in October. 10/1, 6 lengths last of 4 to Lion's Pride in listed race at this C&D 37 days ago, missing break. Place possibilities. Unsuited by steady pace in similar event here last time; still open to further progress.
5th	2 5th (2) (4/1 +64%) Goldspur	4 4/1(+64%)	(2) Goldspur 4/1, Useful gelding. Length third of 6 to Westover in Classic Trial at Sandown (10f, good, 6/5) when last seen 20 months ago. Gelded since and retains potential but Rebel's Romance is clearly the stable No 1. Gelded since last run; should be suited by this new trip; interesting despite long absence.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -45%) Max Vega	16 16/1(-45%)	(3) Max Vega 16/1, Smart gelding. 11/1, 3¼ lengths fourth of 6 to Hamish in St Simon Stakes at Newmarket (12f, soft) 40 days ago. Yard also saddles Salt Bay. Triple Group 3 winner on turf; 0-5 this term but peak form puts him in the picture.
7th	7 7th (7) (8/1 +20%) Salt Bay	8 8/1(+20%)	(7) Salt Bay 8/1, Smart colt. 9/2, very good second of 7 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, heavy) 81 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and should make his presence felt if taking to this surface. Clear second in Newbury handicap last time; could well rate higher still; possibilities.
8th	8 8th (8) (125/1 -25%) Zarabanda	125 125/1(-25%)	(8) Zarabanda 125/1, Useful filly. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Well-beaten last of 17 to Lady Boba in listed race (11/1) at Fontainebleau (9.9f, soft) 18 days ago. Up in trip. Stiff task in this field and has stamina to prove over new trip.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Kempton Listed (Class 1) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

All eyes will be on Godolphin's globetrotting star REBEL'S ROMANCE as he bids for a 10th win from just 16 starts and although the five-year-old wasn't at his best in New York when last seen, the former Breeders' Cup Turf winner should still have too much class for this field. Ralph Beckett's Max Vega showed up well when third in a Group 3 event over C&D in the autumn so the fact that Hector Crouch prefers to ride lightly-raced stablemate Salt Bay is an intriguing pointer.

REBEL'S ROMANCE failed to land the odds in a Grade 1 contest in the US last time, but he is the clear form pick back in calmer waters here and his record on the all-weather (4-7) is also compelling. Base Note did the job well at Chelmsford last month and he could be the one to follow the selection home, with Salt Bay best of the rest.

Rebel's Romance is taken on with SALT BAY, who remains open to further improvement. Base Note is second choice.

2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 +8%) Holy Fire	5.5 11/2(+8%)	(1) Holy Fire 11/2, C&D winner. Sixth of 7 in handicap (11/2) at Ascot (5f, good to soft). Off 138 days and she looks vulnerable under top-weight. Very solid record (31222) on AW; warrants respect back in this sphere.
3	3 3rd (3) (20/1 -100%) Magnificence	20 20/1(-100%)	(3) Magnificence 20/1, Latest win at Bath in August. 7¼ lengths last of 10 to Willem Twee in listed race at Lingfield (6f, AW, 125/1) 25 days ago. Must improve. Returns to a suitable level but is still seeking first win on AW.
4	8 4th (8) (9/1 +55%) Premiere Beauty	9 9/1(+55%)	(8) Premiere Beauty 9/1, Latest win at Lingfield in August. Hooded for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap (40/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 67 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Return to 6f is a plus but has something to prove back on AW.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -11%) Topo Chico	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Topo Chico 10/1, Latest win at Lingfield in August. 5/4, last of 4 in handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy). Off 103 days and likely to find a few of these too strong. 2-3 (on turf) for new stable; record of 0-11 on AW tempers enthusiasm.
6th	6 6th (6) (20/1 -43%) She's Centimental	20 20/1(-43%)	(6) She's Centimental 20/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1) 18 days ago, finishing with running left. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Has become inconsistent and isn't sure to build on latest effort.
7th	2 7th (2) (11/4 +39%) Momaer	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(2) Momaer 11/4, Three wins from 8 runs this year. 9/1, career best when winning 16-runner handicap at Newmarket (6f, heavy) 39 days ago, always holding on. 3 lb rise fair and she's a major player. Won at Newmarket last month, taking record to 3-10; may improve further.
8th	7 8th (7) (3/1 +60%) Miss Bella Brand	3 3/1(+60%)	(7) Miss Bella Brand 3/1, Three wins from 11 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (7f, 33/1) 28 days ago, always holding on. 2 lb nudge fair enough and she's in with an each-way shout. Scored over 7f here four weeks ago; remains competitively weighted.
9th	4 9th (4) (8/1 -45%) Crimson Angel	8 8/1(-45%)	(4) Crimson Angel 8/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year. 7/1, creditable second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 18 days ago, running on. Enters calculations. Went close at Wolverhampton last time; fighting chance off same mark.
10th	10 10th (10) (16/1 -167%) Kodias Sangarius	16 16/1(-167%)	(10) Kodias Sangarius 16/1, Latest win at Chelmsford City in October. Fourth of 6 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 4/1) 36 days ago. Capable of playing a part in the finish. Recent form includes a 6f win; defied an 11lb higher mark in 2022.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Granary Queen made the frame over 7f here on her latest outing and has been dropped 1lb so she is an interesting contender taking a step back in trip. However, the vote goes to MOMAER, who went in by a neck in heavy conditions at Newmarket last month and only has 3lb extra to contend with. The daughter of Belardo shed her maiden tag on the all-weather at Lingfield and could record her fourth career success. Crimson Angel is the pick of the rest after her second at Wolverhampton.

The one who appeals most is MOMAER on the back of her improved performance at Newmarket where she landed a big-field handicap from the front. This 3 lb higher mark should be within reach and Mark Loughnane's charge is marginally preferred to Crimson Angel, who was just touched off at Wolverhampton recently and is a big threat off the same mark. Kodias Sangarius and Granary Queen are each-way contenders.

Back on AW the vote goes to HOLY FIRE, who has steadily progressive RPRs in this sphere. Momaer is feared most.

2	1 2nd (1) (22/1 +21%) Indie Skies	22 22/1(+21%)	(1) Indie Skies 22/1, Failed to improve for addition of cheekpieces when eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 8 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Bred to do better still, being the first foal of a 7f AW winner; second go at this trip.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Moorgate has been in solid form and his latest second over 5f at Lingfield was another pleasing display, although his improvement has come over shorter trips so it's best to side with REVE DE MAGRITTE. The four-year-old may have been only sixth at Wolverhampton last week, but she finished strongly and is now aided by the services of Danny Tudhope. She goes off the same rating and could prove tough to beat. Agapanther has the cheekpieces removed and completes the shortlist.

MOORGATE finally got off the mark at Lingfield last month and shaped well despite seeming to find the drop in trip against him when runner-up there last week, so gets the nod returned to 7f. Seas of Elzaam hasn't shown much in his last couple of runs but looks particularly interesting dropped in grade for a yard who know how to land a gamble, with Magicinthemaking also considered for the placings despite being drawn widest of all.

Tony Carroll holds a promising hand with BAULAC and Time Patrol, who are both interesting returned to 7f.

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.
