Moe's Legacy

12
12/1(-33%)
(7) Moe's Legacy 12/1, Respectable fourth of 10 at Wolverhampton (6.1f) on first start of the year but reared and lost all chance at the start at this C&D 16 days ago. Frame claims if proving more straightforward this time.
Long way behind Fiddler's Elbow here last time, having blown the start.

Zachary

13/8(+68%)
(6) Zachary 13/8, Latest win at Chelmsford City in November. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, last of 8 in handicap (16/1) at Chelmsford City (5f) 17 days ago. Edging back down the weights but others are more persuasive on recent efforts.
Not in top form but a revival is possible with Oisin Murphy up for first time.

3rd (3) Salaamaat (22/1 -144%)
Salaamaat

22
22/1(-144%)
(3) Salaamaat 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Encouraging fourth at Lingfield on yard debut in November and wasn't seen to best effect when last of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (6f, AW) 23 days ago, forced very wide. More needed on handicap debut, however.
Ran badly on latest start; not sure what to expect on handicap debut.

Himawari

7/2(+13%)
(1) Himawari 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 11/4, fourth of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 21 days ago, slowly away. Opening mark looks on stiff side but she could well step forward.
Thrice-raced filly who looks open to progress in handicaps; one to consider.

Fiddler's Elbow

2
2/1(-23%)
(5) Fiddler's Elbow 2/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 15/8, excellent second of 9 in handicap at this C&D 16 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Respected.
Improved effort (runner-up) over C&D last month on handicap debut; respected.

6th (4) Edergole's Gift (16/1 +52%)
Edergole's Gift

16/1(+52%)
(4) Edergole's Gift 16/1, Eighth of 11 in nursery (66/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 74 days ago. Hard to fancy after a break.
Still has something to prove on AW but this drop in class may help.

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

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

Preference is for FIDDLER'S ELBOW. The son of Due Diligence stayed on into second over C&D having met trouble last time out, and the addition of first-time blinkers could eke out further improvement. Handicap debutant Himawari is most appealing of the remainder and is open to more improvement, while you can also make a good case for Nevzilla on her penultimate effort at Southwell.

FIDDLER'S ELBOW was well backed and much improved when second over C&D a fortnight ago and looks the way to go off the same mark now fitted with blinkers. Nevzilla is feared most ahead of Moe's Legacy.

Unexposed FIDDLER'S ELBOW is taken to build on his encouraging C&D effort and get off the mark. Himawari is second choice.

Newsreader

5.5
11/2(-57%)
(2) Newsreader 11/2, Strong at the finish when seeing off the reopposing Lessay by ½ length over C&D 32 days ago. Likely capable of better again but he is 5 lb worse off with Andrew Balding's charge this time.

Lessay

20,000euros 2yo; Bungle Inthejungle half-brother to four winners.

18:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Newsreader (winner) defeated LESSAY (second) over track and trip when receiving 7lb last month, but the latter gets a 5lb swing here and is fancied to reverse that form en route to further success. Newcomer Never Better cost 165,000 euros as a juvenile and, being distantly related to both Magical and Rhododendron, he can be expected to possess a fair level of ability. Others to note include Not Afraid and Spirit Of The Rose.

LESSAY meets Newsreader on 5 lb better terms than when beaten a ½ length by him over C&D last month and is taken to turn the tables. Well-bred newcomer Never Better could pose a big threat to that pair if the betting suggests he's fancied, while Ralph Beckett's Not Afraid has the potential to leave the form of his 6f course debut well behind.

Interesting newcomers SPIRIT OF THE ROSE and Never Better head the shortlist. Lessay and Newsreader bring the best form.

1st (4) Ahlain (5/1 +17%)
Ahlain

5
5/1(+17%)
(4) Ahlain 5/1, Left debut behind to win C&D novice in August. Possibly unsuited by heavy ground when well held in Goodwood Group 3 only 10 days later. Returns as an unexposed sort who could easily have more to offer.
Unexposed filly who won over C&D on her second start; needs a close look on her return.
3

Eminny

9
9/1(-100%)
(3) Eminny 9/1, Fairly useful dual 7f winner at 2. Well held in listed race final start but placed in handicaps prior to that. Been off for 96 days.
Mixed form since her two turf wins last summer but she needs watching in market on return.

Gunfighter

2
2/1(+20%)
(2) Gunfighter 2/1, Two wins from 6 runs last year, the latter success coming over 7f at Wolverhampton under Oisin Murphy. Creditable third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f again) 24 days ago, running on.

Cross The Tracks

12
12/1(-167%)
(6) Cross The Tracks 12/1, Winner at Yarmouth in September. Blinkered first time, unlucky not to finish closer when fourth of 11 in C&D handicap 16 days ago, hampered near finish. Expected to be bang there.
Won at Yarmouth on debut in September but he's not gone on from that in five runs since.

6th (5) Rich Glory (13/2 +46%)
Rich Glory

6.5

Handicap newcomer but he has something to prove upped to 7f after a break; headgear on.

18:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Neapolitan ought to find this less taxing than the class 2 he contested at Newcastle last month and he enters calculations along with Gunfighter, who finished a close-up third at Lingfield 24 days ago. However, a chance can be taken on previous C&D winner AHLAIN, who returns from a 165-day absence having disappointed in the Prestige Stakes at Goodwood in August. An opening mark of 81 could prove to be lenient.

CROSS THE TRACKS probably would have finished second but for suffering late interference over C&D last month and might prove the answer to this 3-y-o handicap. Ahlain tasted C&D success as a juvenile and is very much unexposed now handicapping so she's a possible danger, particularly if the betting vibes are strong. Neapolitan may prove next best.

This looks a tight contest but dual winner GUNFIGHTER gets the vote ahead of Neapolitan and Ahlain.

(7) Sudden Ambush 22/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Not discredited when fourth of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good to firm, 9/2) when last seen in September. Needs to get back on the up as he makes his reappearance.
Less exposed on AW than on turf; form figures in this sphere read 3312.

Symbol Of Light

(1) Symbol Of Light 6/4, Lightly raced for his age, winning 3 of first 4 starts for Charlie Appleby. Produced another good effort for current yard when second of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 7/2) 37 days ago. Major player.
Lightly raced; very solid second (split subsequent winners) at Newcastle most recently.

Some of his 2023 form is encouraging; heed the market signals on reappearance.

Remains open to further progress with Lingfield reappearance under his belt; interesting.

3-6 at Kempton but needs to bounce back from a disappointing effort.

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

SYMBOL OF LIGHT shaped very well behind a subsequent winner on his latest start over 1m at Newcastle, running on for second after enduring a luckless passage, and, off just 1lb higher, he should be hard to stop. Aratus arrives on the back of an admirable third over 7f here last week and he may prove to be the biggest danger to the selection off an unchanged mark. Top Secret is likely to be the one setting the early fractions out in front, but he needs to bounce back from a laboured effort over C&D last month.

SYMBOL OF LIGHT again ran well when second at Newcastle on New Year's Day (the winner and third both won on their next starts) and he looks ready to gain a first success since joining Julie Camacho. He can see off the challenge of Greatgadian, who isn't taken lightly in his current form, while Dragon Icon helps to give Roger Varian a strong hand in the race.

On the back of a rock-solid effort, SYMBOL OF LIGHT (nap) gets the vote. Aratus is second choice.

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Ballybaymoonshiner impressed when making all over 7f here last month in a classified stakes race, but he is not certain to back that effort up now switched to handicap company. With that in mind, preference is for the hat-trick seeking HEERATHETRACK, who was pushed out to score impressively over 7f most recently and could be up to scoring in handicap company on the evidence of that dominant display. Egoiste has hit the woodwork on his last two outings and looks to have solid claims again.

EGOISTE is in good order and wasn't seen to best effect when second at Wolverhampton last time, so he's worth chancing to get back to winning ways. The hat-trick seeking Heerathetrack is an obvious threat and Ballybaymoonshiner can take a hand if in the same form as when scoring here last month.

Being unexposed at this distance, STOIC SYD could well follow up his Southwell success. Ballybaymoonshiner is second choice.

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

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

DIAMONDSINTHESAND fared best of those held up off the pace when finishing a running-on fourth over 6f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and, eased 1lb, he can make a bold bid for the gold medal. Hey Ho Let's Go was only caught late on when attempting to make all over 5f here last time out and he can make a solid fist of things from the front once more, for all that he doesn't look to be crying out for this step up in trip. Scramble is capable and might reward each-way support dropping to 6f.

HEY HO LET'S GO is well treated and produced his best effort for a while when second here three weeks ago, so he can go one better in a race that lacks depth. Diamondsinthesand and Astrophysics both look feasible dangers.

The vote goes to DIAMONDSINTHESAND, who was an eyecatching fourth behind three subsequent winners at Wolverhampton last time.

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 11f Race Class Flow

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

NIVELLE'S MAGIC arrives in excellent form having won three of her last four starts and it would be no surprise if the mare has more to offer on her first outing of the year. Star Of Epsom brings a consistent level of form to the table and has to enter calculations running off the same mark as her second at Lingfield on New Year's Eve. Trusty Scout, Fast Affair and Capstan appeal most of the remainder.

NIVELLE'S MAGIC found some improvement to make it 3 wins from her last 4 starts on turf/AW during the second half of last year and with her attitude an asset, she's fancied to make her presence felt again back from 3 months off. Capstan, who justified support to score at Lingfield recently, is worth considering. Fast Affair and Trusty Scout complete the shortlist in the finale.

With headgear again missing, CAPSTAN may well build on his Lingfield win and follow up. Nivelle's Magic is feared most.

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.
