2.75/1(+21%)
(1) Ahlain 2.75/1, Promising type. Seventh of 12 in maiden at Newbury (6f, good, 16/1) on debut 26 days ago. Should progress, particularly over 7f and Ryan Moore booking a sign of intent.

(6) Gushing Gold 2.5/1, Runner-up on debut and fared about as well as could be expected when mid-field in the Albany in June. Just a fair third back in maiden company since but she sets the standard.

40/1(-21%)
(3) Almudena 40/1, Foaled April 11. Study of Man filly. Half-sister to 11.6f-1¾m winner Elhafei and useful 1½m-1¾m winner Achnamara. This trip likely to be on the sharp side.
Fine middle-distance pedigree but stable's 2yos yet to get going this year.

125

(8) Modern Verse 125/1, Last both starts, but did show a bit more than on debut in novice event at Newmarket (7f, soft) 11 days ago.
Finished last in 2 starts but has offered a whiff of promise; one for nurseries after this.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having been far from disgraced in the Albany, GUSHING GOLD then went desperately close when beaten a neck into third at Newbury. A step up from 6f ought to be no problem on that evidence and she is taken to strike at the fourth time of asking. Poutchek shaped with promise when making the frame on her Newmarket debut and is a likely candidate with improvement on the cards. Others to note include Sattwaa and Allonsy.

POUTCHEK clearly has more than her share of ability having managed to finish third despite fluffing the start and being green pretty much throughout on debut at Newmarket a month ago. Above-average improvement is surely forthcoming, so she's preferred to the standard-setting Gushing Gold. Ahlain is another to consider, along with several interesting debutantes.

Gushing Gold sets the standard but both Poutchek and AHLAIN offered enough on their debuts to make them of interest.

6.5/1(+64%)
(6) Electric Storm 6.5/1, Night of Thunder filly out of maiden (stayed 1¼m) half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1½m (Yorkshire Oaks) winner Quiff, also runner-up in St Leger. Interesting newcomer.
Dam a maiden half-sister to high-class Quiff; market instructive on debut.

Le Mans

0.91/1(+48%)
(1) Le Mans 0.91/1, Promising sort who won 10-runner minor event at Newmarket (8f, good. 7/1) on her debut 47 days ago, getting up late having raced green. Sure to improve so she's a player.
Overcame inexperience to win at Newmarket on debut (1m); bred to be smart; big player.

Bred to do better than we've seen so far but probably in handicaps after this.

Ivory Madonna

(8) Ivory Madonna 5/1, Fair filly. Off 10 months before fair fourth of 6 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, firm, 8/11) 35 days ago, left poorly placed. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time.
Big chance on 2yo best but 3yo return was underwhelming; new headgear today.

125

Inconsistent for former yards; absent for 507 days; carries risk.

Maid For Harry

Cabaret Show

66
66/1(+18%)
(5) Cabaret Show 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ninth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 12/1). Off 165 days and has had a wind op. More needed.
She has had a wind op following two modest efforts on AW this winter; longer-term project.

250
250/1(-213%)
(4) Almavillalobas 250/1, Master Carpenter filly. Dam ran once out of US 2-y-o 5f winner Song of Music. Others appeal more.
Limited encouragement on breeding and she would be a surprise winner.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Both Ivory Madonna and Ludmilla have some decent form in the book and, though both merit respect, they might prove vulnerable to a less-exposed rival. With that in mind, a chance can be taken on ELECTRIC STORM. The Night Of Thunder filly is berthed well in stall three, and has enough in her pedigree to suggest she can be a force on this racecourse bow. Similar comments apply to 325,000gns purchase Velvet Crush, though a wide draw is far from ideal. Newmarket winner Le Mans is also considered, but this looks tougher under a penalty.

LUDMILLA rates the form pick here and looked to fail for stamina upped to 1m2f when sixth at Windsor last time out so gets the nod now reverted in distance. Le Mans rates the obvious threat despite saddling a 7 lb penalty for her debut Newmarket success. Al Haan has more to offer and is another to consider in an open novice along with newcomers Electric Storm and Velvet Crush.

Full Regalia is bred to appreciate the switch to AW but she finished behind LE MANS at Newmarket and may do so again here.

Zero Carbon

11
11/1(+21%)
(3) Zero Carbon 11/1, Well held on turf since his C&D success in June but his solid overall AW record means it would be no surprise to see him bounce back returned to polytrack.
3-5 on AW, including game C&D win in June; below par on turf since but he's a contender.

Gulmarg

4
4/1(+64%)
(8) Gulmarg 4/1, Ran poorly when seventh of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Newmarket (1m, good) 48 days ago. Had been in good form prior to that. Cheekpieces on first time.
Flopped at Newmarket last time but he had been threatening beforehand; headgear added now.

Tahitian Prince

11
11/1(+8%)
(9) Tahitian Prince 11/1, Course winner. 20/1, last of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (1m, good to soft) 20 days ago but had been a creditable third here (1m) prior to that.
Three 1m wins here in 2021; drawn a blank since; down in weights but 7f a question mark.

Dionysian

6/1(+50%)
(10) Dionysian 6/1, Won a pair of 1m course novices at 2. Unable to make an impact in 3 turf handicaps this year so his hopes are pinned on a return to AW sparking a revival.
Two 1m novice wins here last year; well held on turf this year; gelded; return to AW a +.

5th (2) Ernie's Valentine (8/1 -129%)
Ernie's Valentine

8
8/1(-129%)
(2) Ernie's Valentine 8/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2021. 10/3, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good) 53 days ago, not ideally placed. Went close off higher marks on AW at the end of 2022. Considered.
Below par down to 6f last time; earlier 7f form gives him place claims; good record on AW.
4
6th (4) Follow Your Heart (20/1 +20%)
Follow Your Heart

20
20/1(+20%)
(4) Follow Your Heart 20/1, In rude health on the AW earlier this year, winning 3 on the bounce over 7f, including here. Has struggled on turf the last twice but better can be expected back on AW.
High in weights after productive winter; below par on turf this summer; this more suitable.

Lord Uhtred

6.5
6.5/1(+35%)
(7) Lord Uhtred 6.5/1, Won a C&D novice last autumn. Possibly unsuited by heavy ground when unable to make an impact in 2 good-quality 3-y-o handicaps at Newbury and Chester in the spring. Retains potential back from a break/gelding operation.
Unplaced in two stronger handicaps on soft in spring; gelded since; C&D winner; yard run 2.

Zu Run

(5) Zu Run 7.5/1, Twenty fourth of 25 in International handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 18 days ago but had been a creditable fourth in a Class 4 handicap there prior to that and he might do better with his sights lowered again. Cheekpieces added. Won his novice on AW.
7f AW winner one year ago; pick of this year's form gives him claims; headgear on today.
6
9th (6) Harry Magnus (3.5/1 +13%)
Harry Magnus

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(6) Harry Magnus 3.5/1, Made a winning handicap debut at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) in May. Not helped by slowish starts when below that level on both subsequent outings. Still early days, though, and could bounce back if breaking on terms. Ryan Moore takes the ride again.
C&D winner who is well treated on his best form; needs serious consideration.

Hover On The Wind

33

(12) Hover On The Wind 33/1, 13/2 and blinkered first time, last of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good to soft) 25 days ago. Steps back up in trip on this return to AW.
Ran poorly latest and he now has something to prove stepping back up in distance.
13

Wake Up Harry

40
40/1(-21%)
(13) Wake Up Harry 40/1, Went close over 1m at Lingfield in January but this quirky sort wasn't in the same form here just over a month later. Probably best watched back from 168 days off.
Near miss in a 1m Class 6 in January; off since lesser run here in March; tough task.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

In an open contest, only a tentative vote can go to TAHITIAN PRINCE. The gelded son of Siyouni was well beaten at Yarmouth last month, but was much more competitive on an artificial surface previously. Well drawn in stall three, and from 7lb below his last winning mark, it would be no surprise were he to bounce back. Hover On The Wind remains open to improvement and is an interesting candidate back over further. Ernie's Valentine and Zu Run are just two others to consider.

ERNIE'S VALENTINE is well handicapped back on AW and might prove the answer from a handy draw. It's hasn't clicked lately for Charles Hills pair Harry Magnus and Lord Uhtred but they remain relatively unexposed and have winning form on AW so it's possible they'll revive. Zero Carbon's good AW record also makes him a dangerous one to discount.

It is possible to excuse HARRY MAGNUS (nap) his last two defeats and he still appeals as being ahead of the handicapper.

(4) Botas 18/1, Latest win at Evreux in April. Ninth of 11 in handicap (15/2) at Sandown (10f, soft) 20 days ago. Needs to bounce back but may well do so and he boasts a healthy strike rate on synthetics (4-10).
6 wins in France; ran well on first 2 British starts (including C&D); 1m2f excuses latest.

Conditions to suit & he's become well treated on the back of three lesser runs; e-w shout.
11
3rd (11) Umberto (2.5/1 +50%)
Umberto

2.5
2.5/1(+50%)
(11) Umberto 2.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at Nottingham (8.3f, firm, 7/2) 70 days ago. Gelded since and now tried in a visor, he's not discounted given that he's on a good mark judged on some of his form.
Still has time to do better & gelding operation/addition of visor can help; yard flying.

Improved performer this year; good 2nd at Newmarket latest but a 3lb rise asks more of him.

He's done well for this yard and is in form, but this represents a step up in class.
12

Has threatened in a visor this summer; below par latest and now tries blinkers.

Not at best here last time but AW form beforehand stacks up well; good record for L Morris.

Three-time AW winner but he can pull hard so his wide draw could be problematic.

Not kicked on form his promising seasonal return; down in weights but needs a revival.

9
12th (9) Time's Eye (11/1 -83%)
Time's Eye

11
11/1(-83%)
(9) Time's Eye 11/1, Career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good, 14/1) 18 days ago, better placed than most. More needed up 3 lb on this polytrack debut but she's in good hands and will be a threat if able to build on that breakthrough success.
Step up to 1m saw her break her duck at Windsor last month; contender despite 3lb rise.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Time's Eye broke through at Windsor and has to be considered off 3lb higher, but her ability to handle the all-weather must be taken on trust. With that in mind, C&D winner KING CABO just shades the vote because he was over two lengths clear of the third when touched off at Newmarket recently. He is also asked to compete off 3lb higher, but he could be up to it. Arctician and Umberto are others to consider in an open contest.

The vote goes to GOLDSMITH, who has been knocking on the door of late and his latest Epsom second off this mark can be upgraded a touch as he wasn't ideally placed. Gelded since his latest start and now equipped with more severe headgear, Umberto rates the main danger but there are several others with claims in this competitive handicap, including King Cabo and recent Windsor winner Time's Eye. Billy Mill would also be a threat if bouncing back.

There is still more to come from UMBERTO and he returns from a break with his stable in fine form. He's preferred to Billy Mill.

11/1(-57%)
(1) Open Champion 11/1, Winner of an AW maiden for Roger Varian last year and caught the eye on first start on the Flat for this yard over C&D in April. Well below par on all 3 subsequent starts, but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and he's not one to write off visored and down in grade.

(5) The Conqueror 25/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Sandown (10f, good, 25/1) 3 weeks ago, never going well from halfway. Makes polytrack debut. Cheekpieces on 1st time.

(9) Trojan Spirit 9/1, C&D winner on final start as a 2-y-o but has done next to nothing this year. Back down in trip and hard to fancy (has been gelded since last seen).
C&D winner at two; three heavy defeats in Class 4 handicaps this year; been gelded.

3.5/1(+46%)
(8) Intergalacticat 3.5/1, Winner at Doncaster in June. 4/1, looked awkward under pressure when sixth of 7 in handicap at Pontefract (10f, good) 26 days ago, beaten when hanging left entering final 1f.
1m2f novice winner in June; below par last time but still has time on his side.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Pistoletto capitalised on a falling handicap figure over C&D last month and a rise of just 3lb is likely to keep him bang in contention. However, the vote goes to SEA ME DANCE, who showed her liking for this track when scoring over 1m4f to shed her maiden tag. She followed that up with an underwhelming effort at Newmarket, but the return to the all-weather could help her to bounce back. Luke Morris takes over in the saddle on Hurtle, who likely has more to offer.

OPEN CHAMPION has been bitterly disappointing this year but dropped back in grade and with first-time headgear applied, Alan King's 4-y-o is worth one more chance. Pistoletto capitalised on a falling mark when scoring over C&D 5 weeks ago, so he could be the one to give the selection most to think about nudged up 3 lb, ahead of Red Royalist and Sea Me Dance.

Intergalacticat and SEA ME DANCE may be the pair to focus on and the return to AW counts in the selection's favour.

LTO Selection:

21:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Geelong made the frame over 1m6f at Wolverhampton and his time has looked near for a while now, so he warrants plenty of respect off the same rating. However, preference is still for CLUB MANAGER, who may have not handled the track at Lingfield but he did well to finish third and could improve on that. More has been expected of Alex The Great because he has been sent off at short prices the last twice and he could put in a better display.

There should be more to come from CLUB MANAGER, who posted improved form when third on handicap debut at Lingfield earlier this month and remains low mileage. He gets the nod. Geelong and Roman Tempest are feared most.

Unexposed pair Alex The Great and CLUB MANAGER appeal most and the latter can build on his recent Lingfield third.

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.
