1st (7) No News (11/2 -38%)
No News

11/2(-38%)
(7) No News 11/2, Finally gained a first success when winning 13-runner handicap (10/1) at this C&D 3 weeks ago, well on top finish. Task is now to be able to back that up.
A repeat of C&D winning effort would give him serious claims from 4lb higher; respected..

2nd (1) Laura's Breeze (11/2 -38%)
Laura's Breeze

11/2(-38%)
(1) Laura's Breeze 11/2, Off the mark at Wolverhampton in November. Run best excused when seventh of 12 in handicap (10/3) at the same course (8.6f) 29 days ago, doing too much too soon from wide draw. Enters calculations returned to 7f.
Unable to back up her win in two more starts but not ruled out if this is run to suit..

3rd (8) Stella Hogan (4/1 +20%)
Stella Hogan

4/1(+20%)
(8) Stella Hogan 4/1, Opened account at this C&D in October. After 8 weeks off, again ran well when second of 11 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 7/1) 27 days ago, denied clear run approaching final 1f. Major player.
Proved her C&D win was no fluke at Chelmsford latest; up 1lb; contender..

Rivas Rob Roy

80/1(-400%)
(3) Rivas Rob Roy 80/1, Four wins from 12 runs in 2023, completing a hat-trick at Brighton (all at 8f) in June. Ended the season with a below-par effort when sixth of 7 in handicap at the same C&D (good, 9/1) in September. Others preferred.
First AW run since last March and now 7lb higher, so looks up against it..

King Of Speed

17/2(-6%)
(2) King Of Speed 17/2, Continued in good heart when fourth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 8/1) 12 days ago, caught further back than ideal having been slowly away. Can give his running again.
Comes into this on a competitive mark and looks an each-way player..

6th (5) Ben Dikduk (4/1 +27%)
Ben Dikduk

4/1(+27%)
(5) Ben Dikduk 4/1, In first-time cheekpieces, not in the same form as on his stable debut when sixth of 12 in handicap (7/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago, racing freely. Still remains early days for his current yard, though.
Well beaten in first-time cheekpieces (now discarded) latest; back up in trip; player..
7th
7th (6) Merry Minister (25/1 -150%)
Merry Minister

25/1(-150%)
(6) Merry Minister 25/1, Shaped better than result when sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (12f, AW, 16/1) 3 weeks ago. Continues to fall in the weights but more needed to take advantage as he goes significantly back down in trip.
7f turf winner; unplaced in four AW starts; handy mark but has a bit to prove..
8th
8th (9) Nubough (11/1 -22%)
Nubough

11/1(-22%)
(9) Nubough 11/1, Twenty-one runs since his last win back in 2021. Ran respectably when fifth of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 27 days ago. May just be vulnerable once more.
Each-way player based on his autumn form, if you can forgive his latest below-par effort..
9th
9th (4) Flying Panther (7/2 +0%)
Flying Panther

7/2(+0%)
(4) Flying Panther 7/2, Successful twice in 2023, including here in September. Below form on first outing since leaving Tom Ward when eighth of 11 in handicap (4/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 2 weeks ago. Could fare better with cheekpieces back on.
Below the level of his last win in three starts since; cheekpieces return; bit to prove..
LTO Selection:

16:55 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The form of No News' recent victory over C&D hasn't worked out as hoped and the four-year-old may be worth taking on off a 4lb higher mark. STELLA HOGAN finished a respectable second from an uncompromising position at Chelmsford last month and she makes the most appeal. The John O'Shea-trained filly has been nudged up just 1lb in the handicap and another bold bid is anticipated. A case can also be made for King Of Speed, who is racing off a career-low mark.

STELLA HOGAN has shown improved form on her last 2 starts, getting off the mark in good style at this C&D in October before meeting trouble when runner-up on her latest outing. She is taken to resume winning ways, though Laura's Breeze is better drawn than on her last 2 races and isn't taken lightly. No News is also considered.

The suggestion is BEN DIKDUK, for whom it is hoped the removal of headgear and the return to further could open up more possibilities.

Out of a well-connected Listed winner and well worth a glance in the betting.

(7) Last Empress 100/1, Fared no better than on debut when twelfth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (150/1) 2 weeks ago.

Budding

6/1(+70%)
(5) Budding 6/1, 40/1, offered something to work on amidst greenness when eighth of 13 in minor event at this C&D on debut 3 weeks ago.
Made just a mildly encouraging debut when keeping-on eighth over C&D three weeks ago.
6th
6th (3) Arts Of War (15/8 -36%)
Arts Of War

15/8(-36%)
(3) Arts Of War 15/8, Promising individual. 15/8, wasn't seen to best effect when third of 12 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f) 40 days ago, left poorly placed. Remains open to improvement and could take some stopping.
Kept on for third over 7f at Southwell in November; major player on first attempt at 1m.
7th
7th (6) Hatadora (25/1 +0%)
Hatadora

25/1(+0%)
(6) Hatadora 25/1, Held back by inexperience having been relatively weak in the betting when fifth of 6 in minor event (22/1) at Lingfield (7f, AW) on debut 11 days ago, slowly away. Entitled to progress.
Fifth of six in muddling race on recent debut at Lingfield; tricky to weigh up.
8th
8th (4) Bas Bleu (7/1 -133%)
Bas Bleu

7/1(-133%)
(4) Bas Bleu 7/1, 125/1, offered something to work on when fourth of 8 in minor event at Lingfield (8f, AW) on debut 4 weeks ago. May do better so she's shortlisted.
Very respectable fourth in fairly good Lingfield novice on last month's debut.

Out of a dual 1m1f Group 3 winner and looks interesting on paper.
10th
10th (10) Private Getaway (14/1 -133%)
Private Getaway

14/1(-133%)
(10) Private Getaway 14/1, Got back on track when sixth of 13 in maiden at this C&D (80/1) 2 weeks ago, well positioned. In the mix with a repeat.
Displayed improvement when sixth of 13 over C&D last month and this race looks easier.
11th
11th (13) Wren House (9/4 +78%)
Wren House

9/4(+78%)
(13) Wren House 9/4, Eighth of 10 in maiden (13/2) at Newbury (7f, good to soft) on debut in July. Huge step forward required but that's not out of the question.
Not seen since low-key debut on soft turf last summer but has a good pedigree.
12th
12th (11) Red N Blue Dream (125/1 -25%)
Red N Blue Dream

125/1(-25%)
(11) Red N Blue Dream 125/1, 150/1, again showed little when eleventh of 13 in minor event at this course (7f) 4 weeks ago.

13th (9) Moon's Reflection (100/1 -150%)
Moon's Reflection

100/1(-150%)
(9) Moon's Reflection 100/1, Massaat filly. Dam, third at 6f at 2 yrs (stayed 7f), from family of Irish 1000 Guineas winner Alpha Centauri.
Third foal from dam placed over 6f; probably best watched on debut.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ARTS OF WAR has offered plenty to work in her November appearances at Newmarket (fourth) and Southwell (third). A reproduction of either of those performances may be enough for Roger Varian's filly to shed her maiden tag in this contest, with Bas Bleu feared most. The daughter of Masar posted a respectable fourth on her debut at Lingfield last month and she rates a likely improver. Private Getaway could fare best of the remaining protagonists.

Having shaped well in a back-end Newmarket novice, ARTS OF WAR wasn't seen to best effect when third at Southwell just under 6 weeks ago and sure to have more to offer, Roger Varian's filly gets the nod to make it third time lucky at the expense of Private Getaway, who got back on track when sixth here 2 weeks ago and she's not yet the finished article. Bas Bleu and newcomer Miss Monte Carlo and another couple worth keeping an eye on, also.

Having ended up with a lot to do when running on well for third over 7f last time, ARTS OF WAR can open her account today.

(9) Mccauley's Tavern 11/2, Eyeshields/blinkers on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford City (7f) 23 days ago. Has slipped in the weights but tricky to fancy on recent showings.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LIBRA TIGER hadn't been in any kind of form prior to landing the corresponding event 12 months ago and it is a similar story this time around for Laura Mongan's gelding. He is 1lb lower and this could be the right time to catch the son of Territories. Ithra and Swiss Pride are a couple of others to consider, with the former feared most on the basis that she performed much better when tried in blinkers at Lingfield last time.

FISCAL POLICY shaped as if still in good form at Chelmsford last time and the Dan & Claire Kubler-trained gelding gets the nod ahead of Ithra, who returned to form at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Vape was front rank for a long way at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is also considered from a reduced mark.

The suggestion is ITHRA, who has been knocking on the door a couple of times recently and may be capable of breaking her duck.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

FIRST COMPANY had been running well over C&D before a below-par showing at Wolverhampton last Wednesday. Mark Loughnane's charge, who would appear to have plenty of room to maneuver from his current mark, will appreciate the return here and he is fancied to get back on track. Em Jay Kay continues to knock on the door and he must be taken seriously, while Hiatus is also noted.

A few in with a squeak but the vote goes to BIG R, who was possibly in need of the outing after 4 months off when finishing down the field at Southwell recently so Eve Johnson Houghton's 4-y-o can belatedly open his account fitted with first-time blinkers. Em Jay Kay's consistency is hard to knock so he's put forward as the main threat, with Hiatus and Roman Spring taken to fight out third.

After shaping well over 7f last month, BIG R looks interesting back at 6f and with blinkers fitted

LTO Selection:

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

LUAS represents the stable who won this last year with Expert Agent and he could go close on his second start since a gelding operation, now dropped back a furlong after weakening over further in December. A mark of 75 seems fair for his handicap debut and may give him the edge over Wolverhampton winner Engineer, who was put in his place when second here in November and has to give the selection 5lb. Newcastle victor Bulldog Drummond and the consistent Flag Carrier are others to consider.

IPPOTHEOS failed to repeat his stable debut win when only fourth at Wolverhampton 16 days ago but he wasn't seen to best effect and is well worth another chance. Engineer ran well behind a useful prospect over C&D on his most recent outing and is an interesting handicap debutant, with Bulldog Drummond respected up 5 lb for his Newcastle triumph.

Preference is for ENGINEER, who appears to have rock-solid claims on his handicap debut. Flag Carrier is second choice.

(10) Dembe 22/1, Course winner who turned in a rare poor effort when last of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 14/1), slowly away. Off 6 months. Significantly back up in trip.
Good chance off current mark provided he's revived by a break (off since June).

(7) Stately Home 33/1, Course winner who was below form when16½ lengths eleventh of 13 to Ocean Heights in handicap at this course (12f) 14 days ago, left poorly placed.

(13) Just The Man 80/1, Fair handicap hurdler but well held at Newton Abbot when last seen in July. Last seen in this sphere in September 2022.

Let Her Loose

50/1(-213%)
(8) Let Her Loose 50/1, 10/1, shaped with encouragement when fifth of 16 in handicap at the Curragh (12f, soft) 88 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. 7-lb claimer now takes over in the saddle and needs considering.
Has a much better strike-rate on turf than on AW; bit to prove off career-high mark.

12th (11) Sabyinyo (80/1 -186%)
Sabyinyo

80/1(-186%)
(11) Sabyinyo 80/1, Pulled up in novice hurdle at Fontwell (17.7f, soft, 12/1) 45 days ago. Fairly useful on the Flat but ran poorly on last outing in this sphere in September 2022. Tongue strap goes on.
Fitting of tongue-tie needs to prompt a revival back under this code.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Tenerife Sunshine won a C&D handicap off 1lb higher in August last year and although he was beaten a long way at Newcastle last month, he has been eased 2lb since and drops into this class for the first time since that victory. He can go well at these weights, but OCEAN HEIGHTS is preferred. A half-length winner over 1m4f here last time out, he won with a bit up his sleeve and although he has been upped 4lb in the ratings, his jockey can now claim 5lb from the saddle. Geelong is another to consider off bottom-weight representing a stable in good form.

LISEO was a bit keener than ideal at Chelmsford last time and is worth another chance having fared best of those held up in a valuable event over C&D in November. Ocean Heights is going the right way and must enter the reckoning, with Precision Storm another to consider having dropped to a handy mark.

Handicap debutant LEGACY POWER (nap) is attractively treated off just 73 and taken to open his account. Geelong is second choice.

(2) Tremblant 16/1, First run since leaving A. Fabre when seventh of 8 in handicap at Chelmsford City (7f, 40/1) on UK debut 13 days ago. Eased 2 lb and is entitled to come on for that run.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Narrowly denied at Chelmsford last time out, LOVE DE VEGA could be on the verge of a first win since last August and Rossa Ryan getting back on board is a big plus. He can uphold form with Revolutionise (fourth), while McLean House is three from three over this C&D and must also enter calculations. Sandy Paradise and Royal Parade have the form to get involved in proceedings as well.

MCLEAN HOUSE is a lightly-raced progressive 4-y-o and is selected to make it 4 wins from as many starts over this C&D. Revolutionise and Love de Vega head the opposition in an open-looking contest.

Armed with a 4lb pull and much better draw, SANDY PARADISE could well reverse last-time-out C&D placings with McLean House.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

MAMALOUKA was slightly unlucky on her first run after wind surgery when not getting a clear run late on and narrowly denied over 1m at Chelmsford last month. The three-year-old may be able to gain compensation on this occasion, with recent C&D third Publicity looking best placed to chase her home. Rising Force has strong claims if bouncing back to the form that saw him finish second on his penultimate start.

MAMALOUKA took a big step forward switched to a nursery when second at Chelmsford last month and a reproduction of that form could be enough to see her go one better. Rising Force and Publicity rate the main threats.

The suggestion is to side with PUBLICITY, who put up a better effort last time and a step up on that could suffice.

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.
