The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Flegmatik 4.5/1, Confirmed previous promise when doubling his tally over fences in 3m handicap here 15 days ago, drawing clear approaching last. Hit with 7 lb rise but that shouldn't prevent another good run.
8
2nd (8) (6.5/1 +24%) Foxboro
6.5
6.5/1(+24%)
(8) Foxboro 6.5/1, Remains a maiden over fences but has held form well this season, making it 3 placed efforts in a row when second to Le Cameleon at Fontwell (19.5f) 19 days ago. Likely to give another good account.
2
3rd (2) (4/1 -14%) Patroclus
4
4/1(-14%)
(2) Patroclus 4/1, £150,000 purchase who was 2-4 over hurdles and left chase debut effort in his wake to score gamely at Leicester (20f) 24 days ago. In excellent hands and should have more to offer.
5
4th (5) (7/1 +22%) Le Cameleon
7
7/1(+22%)
(5) Le Cameleon 7/1, Down in the weights and doubled his tally over fences in 8-runner handicap at Fontwell (19.5f) 19 days ago by 1¾ lengths from Foxboro, keeping on well. His task is to now back that up.
6
5th (6) (8.5/1 +23%) Not A Role Model
8.5
8.5/1(+23%)
(6) Not A Role Model 8.5/1, Impressed on the jumping score when finding only an improver too good over fences at Chepstow on return. Not so good at Fakenham and Ludlow since though, so has a bit to prove.
4
6th (4) (6/1 +14%) One True King
6
6/1(+14%)
(4) One True King 6/1, Responded well to this headgear when winning 2m Sandown handicap chase in December. Has gone slightly off the boil since but looks interesting now stepping back up in trip after a small break.
3
|F| (3) (4.5/1 -35%) Deyrann De Carjac
4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(3) Deyrann De Carjac 4.5/1, Hinted strongly at a revival when fifth in Grade 2 Handicap at Cheltenham in December. Failed to build on that promise there next time but has eased further in the weights.
7
|PU| (7) (14/1 +30%) Neil The Legend
14
14/1(+30%)
(7) Neil The Legend 14/1, Found improvement on first start back with this stable when readily making all at Warwick in December. Wasn't in anything like the same form from 11 lb higher in a better race at Lingield, though.
LTO Selection:
13:15 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Knight Salute 1.88/1, Lost his way on the Flat but excellent start over hurdles, making it 4-4 in determined style in Doncaster Grade 2 in December. Given a break since and he holds serious claims once more.
10
2nd (10) (16/1 -45%) Teddy Blue
16
16/1(-45%)
(10) Teddy Blue 16/1, Fairly useful on Flat in France (stays 14f) and definite encouragement from yard/hurdles debut second in a Lingfield novice (2m) recently, paying price for racing freely. Improvement expected.
4
3rd (4) (12/1 -20%) Graystone
12
12/1(-20%)
(4) Graystone 12/1, Has taken well to hurdling, showing no ill effects from his Taunton fall when landing Wetherby juvenile (2m), always holding on. No reason why he won't go well again.
5
4th (5) (22/1 +12%) Iroko
22
22/1(+12%)
(5) Iroko 22/1, Promise in a bumper/hurdle in France and solid start for new yard when fourth behind Porticello in Grade 1 Finale Hurdle at Chepstow over Christmas. Highly likely there is more to come.
6
5th (6) (8/1 +20%) Moka De Vassy
8
8/1(+20%)
(6) Moka De Vassy 8/1, Karaktar gelding who has progressed with each outing over hurdles, keeping on for second behind Pied Piper in Triumph Hurdle trial last month. Claims of hitting the frame again.
3
6th (3) (33/1 +34%) Big Boy Bobby
33
33/1(+34%)
(3) Big Boy Bobby 33/1, Fairly useful on Flat for Roger Charlton and promising start over hurdles for new yard, building on debut effort when second at Huntingdon (15.8f) last month. In good hands but this tougher.
1
7th (1) (3.5/1 +46%) Impulsive One
3.5
3.5/1(+46%)
(1) Impulsive One 3.5/1, Landed back-to-back juvenile hurdles in the autumn and, fit from Flat, impressed when landing listed juvenile at Musselburgh (15.5f) 3 weeks ago. No surprise to see him thereabouts.
9
8th (9) (16/1 +20%) Rubaud
16
16/1(+20%)
(9) Rubaud 16/1, Brother to useful hurdler Francin (2m-2¾m winner). Useful himself on Flat in France for P. Decouz (stays 15f) and betting should prove a useful guide with yard also saddling Pleasant Man. Tongue tied.
11
9th (11) (16/1 +11%) The Famous Five
16
16/1(+11%)
(11) The Famous Five 16/1, Camelot gelding who showed fairly useful form in winning twice at up to 1½m in France last year. New yard went to €250,000 to acquire him since and another requiring close market scrutiny now hurdling
7
10th (7) (150/1 -50%) Patient Dream
150
150/1(-50%)
(7) Patient Dream 150/1, Useful on Flat, winning 3 handicaps in 2021 (sold from Ralph Beckett, 68,000 gns). Not kicked on from promising hurdle debut second at Wetherby in 2 subsequent starts and this deeper again.
8
|PU| (8) (6/1 -33%) Pleasant Man
6
6/1(-33%)
(8) Pleasant Man 6/1, Useful stayer on Flat who looked as good as ever when landing 14f Yarmouth handicap in September (for Roger Charlton). Acquired for 175,000 gns thereafter and he's deserving of respect now hurdling.
LTO Selection:
13:50 Kempton Conditions Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(2) Pic D'Orhy 3/1, Smart hurdler and even better form over fences when landing Ascot Grade 2 novice in December. Disappointed when remote third in Scilly Isles at Sandown since but good shout if bouncing back.
4
2nd (4) (2.5/1 +44%) Millers Bank
2.5
2.5/1(+44%)
(4) Millers Bank 2.5/1, Smart hurdler who won easily on chase debut. Set to follow up when unseating 2 out in Grade 2 at Newbury in November but looked in trouble when suffering similar fate at Cheltenham since. Had wind op.
5
3rd (5) (6/1 -50%) Fantastic Lady
6
6/1(-50%)
(5) Fantastic Lady 6/1, Fairly useful winning hurdler who has taken well to fences with ready handicap wins at Warwick and Bangor in recent weeks. More to come and can make her mark at higher level.
1
4th (1) (1.75/1 +22%) Minella Drama
1.75
1.75/1(+22%)
(1) Minella Drama 1.75/1, Has matched his smart hurdling form over fences, winning 2½m Haydock Grade 2 latest. Should give a good account but will likely need to improve again to defy his penalty.
3
5th (3) (22/1 +56%) Goa Lil
22
22/1(+56%)
(3) Goa Lil 22/1, Quite a useful handicap hurdler/chaser but he looks to be biting off a bit more than he can chew in this company.
LTO Selection:
14:25 Kempton Maiden Chase (Class 1) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(1) Aucunrisque 3/1, Off the mark at the second attempt over hurdles at Plumpton last month and took his form up a notch when bolting up on handicap debut at Wincanton next time. Respected with further improvement likely.
6
2nd (6) (1.5/1 +8%) Shallwehaveonemore
1.5
1.5/1(+8%)
(6) Shallwehaveonemore 1.5/1, Impressive bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles at the third attempt with a bloodless display at Sandown 3 weeks ago. Keen-going sort who should have plenty more to offer.
3
3rd (3) (40/1 -21%) Galore Desassences
40
40/1(-21%)
(3) Galore Desassences 40/1, Bumper winner who opened his account over hurdles in taking fashion in first-time cheekpieces at Taunton in November. Had plenty in hand at Wincanton on handicap bow but needs another step forward.
7
4th (7) (4.5/1 +0%) Iceo
4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(7) Iceo 4.5/1, Won well at Dieppe on hurdling debut in the summer and looked potentially smart when following up for this yard over C&D in December. Cheltenham flop easily excused so he can bounce back quickly.
5
5th (5) (14/1 +22%) Russian Ruler
14
14/1(+22%)
(5) Russian Ruler 14/1, Looked a good prospect when making a winning debut in Warwick bumper last May and produced a promising first effort over hurdles when third at Doncaster last month. Should have more to offer.
2
6th (2) (12/1 -50%) Frere D'Armes
12
12/1(-50%)
(2) Frere D'Armes 12/1, Runner-up in an Irish point and off the mark at the second attempt over timber at Huntingdon last month. Defied a penalty with the minimum of fuss at Wincanton since and he remains with potential.
8
7th (8) (80/1 -21%) Legionar
80
80/1(-21%)
(8) Legionar 80/1, Confirmed the encouragement of his debut when running out a comfortable winner of Aintree bumper. Not disgraced on both starts since but pitched in very deep for this hurdling debut.
4
8th (4) (7/1 +30%) Moriko De Vassy
7
7/1(+30%)
(4) Moriko De Vassy 7/1, Successful all completed starts under Rules, clearly none the worse for his fall at Huntingdon when a gutsy winner at Doncaster last month. Respected but he's up against some possible improvers here.
LTO Selection:
15:00 Kempton Maiden Hurdle (Class 1) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(14) Cap Du Nord 6.5/1, Form hit new heights last term, successful at Newbury plus some good efforts in defeat. Yet to get going this seaon but step back in right direction when third in Sky Bet at Doncaster. On a good mark.
8
2nd (8) (16/1 +43%) Kitty's Light
16
16/1(+43%)
(8) Kitty's Light 16/1, Scored 4 times in fine first campaign over fences and taken form up another notch this term, second in Charlie Hall at Wetherby. 3m around here not really his thing judged on last 2 starts, however.
9
3rd (9) (16/1 -14%) Our Power
16
16/1(-14%)
(9) Our Power 16/1, Has taken well to fences, and made it 2-4 in 20f Huntingdon handicap 6 weeks ago despite idling markedly in front. This more competitive but weighted to go close again nudged up just 2 lb. Up in trip.
4
4th (4) (14/1 -56%) Enrilo
14
14/1(-56%)
(4) Enrilo 14/1, Took well to fences last term, first past post in bet365 Chase at Sandown. Shaping well before falling in Ladbrokes Trophy on return and excuses at Cheltenham since. Headgear on. Not taken lightly.
11
5th (11) (18/1 -50%) Galahad Quest
18
18/1(-50%)
(11) Galahad Quest 18/1, Opened account over fences at Haydock (20f) on final start last term and has returned in good nick, again running up to best when second in Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham. Step up in trip could suit.
13
6th (13) (14/1 +30%) Beakstown
14
14/1(+30%)
(13) Beakstown 14/1, Consistent rather than progressive form over fences and still seeking first win in this sphere (often weak finisher). This track looks more suitable but others still preferred.
1
7th (1) (16/1 +0%) Good Boy Bobby
16
16/1(+0%)
(1) Good Boy Bobby 16/1, As good as ever this season, scoring at Wetherby before just denied in the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle. Quickly back to winning ways in Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby but mark looks high enough now.
10
8th (10) (6/1 +33%) Five Star Getaway
6
6/1(+33%)
(10) Five Star Getaway 6/1, Ex-pointer who progressed rapidly upon going chasing last term, easily winning 3 handicaps. Put a rusty return behind him when scoring over C&D. Shaped as if still in form at Sandown since. Player.
12
9th (12) (16/1 -60%) Zhiguli
16
16/1(-60%)
(12) Zhiguli 16/1, Immediately took a step forward for the switch to chasing when scoring at Lingfield on return. Improved a chunk when resuming winning ways there 5 weeks ago and may have more to offer.
5
|F| (5) (6/1 +29%) Phoenix Way
6
6/1(+29%)
(5) Phoenix Way 6/1, Fragile but talented sort who confirmed Ascot promise when winning class 2 handicap there 5 weeks ago with a bit in hand. 6 lb higher now but remains unexposed for his age.
7
|PU| (7) (7/1 +7%) Annsam
7
7/1(+7%)
(7) Annsam 7/1, Improved further over fences last term despite some iffy jumping. Returned in form over the smaller obstacles before resuming winning ways in Silver Cup Chase at Ascot, jumping better. More to come.
3
|PU| (3) (8.5/1 -6%) The Big Breakaway
8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(3) The Big Breakaway 8.5/1, Improved over fences last term, placed in Grade 1s over C&D/Cheltenham Festival. Things haven't gone to plan in light campaign this time around but worth another chance. Tongue strap on.
6
|PU| (6) (16/1 -45%) Zanza
16
16/1(-45%)
(6) Zanza 16/1, Very useful chaser who has posted 3 solid efforts this term, 2l second to Coole Cody in Grade 3 handicap at Cheltenham in December. Needs to shrug off a poor effort there on New Year's Day, however.
2
|PU| (2) (25/1 +0%) Lalor
25
25/1(+0%)
(2) Lalor 25/1, Smart chaser who got back on track for new yard when third of 19 in Paddy Power Gold Cup at Cheltenham on return. Disappointed there next time but still early days with this stable.
LTO Selection:
15:37 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 1) 24f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.
(11) Storm Dennis 3.5/1, Fairly useful and progressive in bumpers. Just second handicap start when showing much improved form to win 20.5f Huntingdon handicap last month. Raised 5 lb but has potential for better again
6
2nd (6) (40/1 -233%) Carys' Commodity
40
40/1(-233%)
(6) Carys' Commodity 40/1, Made into a useful hurdler last season. Looked the winner when falling last on Stratford chase debut/return in October but need to forgive a lesser run back hurdling in December.
9
3rd (9) (5/1 +29%) Dargiannini
5
5/1(+29%)
(9) Dargiannini 5/1, Bumper/dual novice hurdle winner who left reappearance/yard debut effort in his wake when second in Taunton handicap (19f) in November. Failed to fire at Ascot in December and now sports a tongue tie.
7
4th (7) (5.5/1 +0%) Herbiers
5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(7) Herbiers 5.5/1, Successful 3 times in a very productive juvenile campaign and back to winning ways in 19.5f Doncaster handicap in November. 7 lb rise demands more again back from 3 months off.
1
5th (1) (7.5/1 +25%) Stoner's Choice
7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(1) Stoner's Choice 7.5/1, Had a productive novice hurdle campaign last season, winning 4 times. Mostly respectable efforts in defeat this term and he's 2 lb below the mark he won off at Ascot last spring.
5
6th (5) (18/1 -200%) Flashing Glance
18
18/1(-200%)
(5) Flashing Glance 18/1, As good as ever back hurdling in late 2021, scoring over 2½m at Hereford in December. Only up 2 lb and won off a similar mark last season.
3
7th (3) (12/1 -140%) Haafapiece
12
12/1(-140%)
(3) Haafapiece 12/1, Course bumper winner. In excellent form at Wetherby this term, scoring twice over 2½m. Form of latter win boosted by second winning next time. 4 lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold bid.
8
8th (8) (8/1 -7%) Lydford
8
8/1(-7%)
(8) Lydford 8/1, Useful on Flat and translated most of that ability to hurdles when winning maiden/novice events in late-2021. Disappointing in Warwick handicap latest but better than that. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on.
4
9th (4) (6.5/1 +54%) Solwara One
6.5
6.5/1(+54%)
(4) Solwara One 6.5/1, Bumper/dual hurdles winner last season. Fell over fences first 2 outings this term and also unseated back hurdling latest. Hard to be sure what form he's in.
2
10th (2) (12/1 -9%) Navajo Pass
12
12/1(-9%)
(2) Navajo Pass 12/1, Smart hurdler last term, including Haydock Grade 2 win, but not at same level this time round, going off too hard in blinkers (discarded) when fourth in this year's running of that Haydock Grade 2.
10
|PU| (10) (33/1 -175%) Farouk De Cheneau
33
33/1(-175%)
(10) Farouk De Cheneau 33/1, Winner in France but off since finishing well held in C&D novice on yard debut in March 2020. Interesting that leading stable perseveres but would need to see market support to consider. Had wind op.
LTO Selection:
16:10 Kempton Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(7) Onewayortother 2.25/1, €45,000 3-y-o, Great Pretender gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/chaser Golden Boy Grey and Sevros. Dam 11.5f winner.
4
2nd (4) (1.62/1 +14%) Itso Fury
1.62
1.62/1(+14%)
(4) Itso Fury 1.62/1, Shaped with promise when second of 12 on Fairyhouse bumper debut in April. Changed hands for €115,000 soon after and having had a wind op, he bettered that form when third at Southwell.
8
3rd (8) (11/1 -214%) Realta Royale
11
11/1(-214%)
(8) Realta Royale 11/1, Overcame inexperience to make a winning debut at Taunton last month. More on her plate out of her own sex but she may well have more to offer.
5
4th (5) (6.5/1 -86%) Spago
6.5
6.5/1(-86%)
(5) Spago 6.5/1, Sageburg gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to very smart hurdler/high-class chaser (2m-3m winner) Shooting Light. Already had a wind op but in top hands.
3
5th (3) (7/1 +30%) Hurricane Bay
7
7/1(+30%)
(3) Hurricane Bay 7/1, Fair form in bumpers at Huntingdon and Warwick last March. Will probably need to pull out more to make a successful return.
1
6th (1) (28/1 -180%) Dondiam
28
28/1(-180%)
(1) Dondiam 28/1, £30,000 3-y-o, £50,000 4-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners and having won a point himself, he kept on well to finish third of 5 at Newcastle in November.
6
7th (6) (16/1 -129%) Sorceress Medea
16
16/1(-129%)
(6) Sorceress Medea 16/1, £54,000 3-y-o. Half-sister to 4 winners, including useful hurdler/smart chaser Gala Ball. Low-key debut at Aintree in October. Tongue tie fitted on the back of a breathing op.
2

66
66/1(+0%)
(2) Elevated 66/1, 6,000 gns 3-y-o, Siyouni gelding. Half-brother to 5 winners on Flat, including smart 6f-1m winner Queen Catrine. Dam lightly raced on Flat. Had a wind op ahead of debut.

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.
