(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.

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.

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.

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.

Inauspicious debut in 7f contest here last week.
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.

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.

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.

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.

Oldest contender but retains ability; four-time course winner; can't be dismissed.
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.
