1st (7) Ocean Heights (7/1 +30%)
Ocean Heights

7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Ocean Heights 7/1, Fairly useful winner in bumpers who arrives winless in this sphere but posted good second of 11 in handicap at this course (11f, 10/1) 14 days ago. Extra 1f won't inconvenience him on that evidence here.
Bumper winner who is unexposed on the Flat and went close here (1m3f) latest; respected.

2nd (2) Way Of Life (6/1 +40%)
Way Of Life

6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Way Of Life 6/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 9/2) 11 days ago, not quicken only late on. Should go well again but the assessor appears to have him about right at present.
Prominent-racer with a solid record but losing run is up to 14; others look stronger.
1
3rd (1) Glenister (22/1 -83%)
Glenister

22
22/1(-83%)
(1) Glenister 22/1, 4 wins from 7 runs this year. Last of 7 in handicap (3/1) at Epsom (12f, good to firm) 80 days ago, folding tamely. However, profile previously this year was a positive one and bounce back distinctly possible having changed hands for 20,000 gns since.
Tailed off in final run for Sir Mark Prescott but was a major improver before that blip.
13
4th (13) Waterloo Sunset (14/1 -27%)
Waterloo Sunset

14
14/1(-27%)
(13) Waterloo Sunset 14/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 4/1) 16 days ago, wide entering straight and plugging on. No forlorn hope.
C&D win in October but he didn't really fire last time and others are more persuasive.
12
5th (12) Niarbyl Bay (11/2 +15%)
Niarbyl Bay

5.5
11/2(+15%)
(12) Niarbyl Bay 11/2, 13/2, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 32 days ago, well positioned and leading post. This demands more but he remains unexposed at this sort of trip.
Off the mark over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and he's only 2lb higher here; respected.
11
6th (11) Romilda (11/4 -10%)
Romilda

2.75
11/4(-10%)
(11) Romilda 11/4, Creditable third of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 13/2) 15 days ago, having to pick way through and finishing with running left. One for the shortlist upped in trip.
3yo who was a good third at Lingfield last time and looks interesting at this new trip.
10
7th (10) Love Your Work (80/1 -471%)
Love Your Work

80
80/1(-471%)
(10) Love Your Work 80/1, 9/4, bit below form fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 61 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Rebecca Menzies.
Eight-time winner but he's untried at this trip and has some work to do for new yard.
8
8th (8) Sax Appeal (13/2 +35%)
Sax Appeal

6.5
13/2(+35%)
(8) Sax Appeal 13/2, Came on plenty for debut when landing 7-runner Southwell novice (11.f) in January and matched that form under a penalty when second back at that venue a month later. Absent/gelded subsequently and he may yet have more to offer now handicapping on back of 3 career starts.
Southwell winner who is still unexposed and looks interesting on his handicap debut.
5
9th (5) Stonking (9/1 +0%)
Stonking

9
9/1(+0%)
(5) Stonking 9/1, Latest win at Newbury in July. Seventh of 11 in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 44 days ago. Entitled to be sharper with that under his belt and he remains less exposed than most.
Had an excuse at Wolverhampton and he could resume his progress here; dangerous.
14
10th (14) Devizes (28/1 -75%)
Devizes

28
28/1(-75%)
(14) Devizes 28/1, C&D winner. Latest win here (2m) in June. Eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (11f, 33/1) 14 days ago, weakening quickly final 100 yds. May strip fitter given that was his first start for 4 months and he's eased 2 lb subsequently.
Polytrack specialist but he faded here on his recent return; needs to get back near best.
4
11th (4) Stately Home (22/1 -83%)
Stately Home

22
22/1(-83%)
(4) Stately Home 22/1, Course winner who was in good heart when last seen in the summer, running well under a patient ride when second of 5 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, heavy, 5/2) in August. Steps up further in trip on back of 136 days off.
Looks worth a try at this new trip and he has won when fresh in the past; not ruled out.
3
11th (3) Forge Valley Lad (33/1 -106%)
Forge Valley Lad

33
33/1(-106%)
(3) Forge Valley Lad 33/1, Had a productive spell on AW earlier this year, quickening up to lead dying strides as he resumed winning ways at Lingfield (12f) in April. Should pay his way again on AW this winter but betting may prove informative returning from 8 months off.
As good as ever when winning over C&D in April latest; needs a close look on his return.
6
13th (6) Miller Spirit (10/1 +0%)
Miller Spirit

10
10/1(+0%)
(6) Miller Spirit 10/1, Unreliable sort. 3/1 and visored for 1st time, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Windsor (10f, heavy) 58 days ago, not running on. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time.
Still has potential but he didn't look entirely straightforward last time; mixed messages.
LTO Selection:

16:55 Kempton Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

After recording a comfortable success at Newbury in July, STONKING lost all chance at Wolverhampton last time, having reared upon leaving the stalls. The fact he was sent off as favourite would suggest better was expected, though, so it would come as no surprise were the son of Farhh to step forward now. Way Of Life continues to run well in defeat and is unlikely to be far away, along with recent Lingfield scorer Forge Valley Lad and handicap debutant Sax Appeal, who returns from an absence.

ROMILDA is less exposed than most she meets here and again caught the eye when third at Lingfield 15 days ago. She can confirm recent promise and open her account stepping up further in trip. Ocean Heights, Stonking and Sax Appeal head up the dangers, with the likeable Typical Woman also expected to be thereabouts.

This looks wide open but the William Haggas-trained ROMILDA gets the vote ahead of another 3yo in Sax Appeal.

5/4(-14%)

Some promise on his Lingfield debut but blew out next time; good deal more will be needed.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 4) 11f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, who bumped into a now 88-rated rival at Newmarket in October. Charlie Appleby's gelding will have no problem with the return to an artificial surface, and first-time cheekpieces are fancied to elicit some improvement. John & Thady Gosden saddle four, of which newcomer Pappano appears to be their leading chance based on jockey bookings. Others to note include Night Horn and Cool Legend.

CLASSIC ENCOUNTER is the form pick and has more improvement in him, so he's preferred to Cool Legend, who shaped well at this course last time. Pappano is a notable newcomer for a top yard.

This can go to CLASSIC ENCOUNTER who improved when second at Newmarket in October. There is likely more to come over this trip.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Mulciber was able to make a successful handicap debut when winning at Newcastle last month and another bold bid can be expected from just 2lb higher, but a chance is taken on DIRE WOLF. Adam West's charge failed to trouble the judge on her three qualifying runs, each over shorter, but the combination of a first-time tongue-tie/handicap bow can aid improvement. Compton Bay is another to consider.

The addition of cheekpieces/switch to handicap company sparked immediate improvement in MULCIBER at Newcastle where he displayed a good attitude to narrowly prevail. Going back up in trip round here shouldn't unduly inconvenience him and he could still be on a good mark. Compton Bay also responded well to first-time cheekpieces when runner-up over 7f here last week and he is feared most. Chelmsford scorer Montecristo Gold and Palazzo Persico are others to consider.

The choice is MONTECRISTO GOLD (nap) who showed a fine attitude when narrowly getting off the mark at Chelmsford last time.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Kempton Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Lightning Touch and Flying Finn are the pick of those with previous race experience but a chance can be taken on FRIENDLY SOUL. The daughter of Kingman is a half-sister to three Group 1 scorers and it would be no surprise to see her make a winning debut here. Blessed Honour is from the family of the Breeders' Cup winner Dank and is another noteworthy newcomer, while Izipizi and Crimson Coronet also merit consideration.

This may go to a newcomer, with BLESSED HONOUR making plenty of appeal for Charlie Appleby. Friendly Soul is one more to note, while Lightning Touch is a big player after her very encouraging performance at Lingfield.

Irish Oaks entry LIGHTNING TOUCH made a promising debut when fourth at Lingfield in October and she may show even more this time.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Talis Evolvere narrowly denied Urban Sprawl in a similar event at Wolverhampton a couple of weeks ago and may be able to confirm that form here. However, marginal preference is for CROWNTHORPE, who was only half a length behind the winner when fourth at Newcastle last time and he is off the same mark now. Others to consider are Marshal Dan and Chantico.

Several to consider in this competitive handicap with CROWNTHORPE shading preference. The 8-y-o put in a good shift when a close fourth off this mark at Newcastle recently, leaving the strong impression that he will be winning again soon. It's probably best to overlook Chantico's heavy-ground defeat on his latest start in April and he could be a threat if fully tuned-up. Urban Sprawl, who was just touched off by Talis Evolvere at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start, is third choice.

The selection is TOP SECRET who returns to Kempton for the first time since winning his last two starts here in November of last year.

Made it 2-2 on the AW when beating Baldomero at Chelmsford last month; has more to offer.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Kempton Handicap (Class 2) 6f Race Class Flow

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

COACHELLO arrives here on the back of two victories and a 5lb penalty for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Probe appreciated a return to the all-weather when scoring at Chelmsford a month ago and he has to be of interest once again, while Chipstead and Tiger Crusade complete the shortlist.

PROBE returned to form in no uncertain terms when cosily accounting for the re-opposing Baldomero and six others at Chelmsford last month, and a 5 lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from making it 3-3 on the all-weather. Baldomero deserves to get his head back in front and is likely to do just that in the coming weeks but hat-trick seeking Irish raider Coachello may emerge as the main danger to the selection on this occasion. Chipstead also merits respect.

This can go to PROBE who made it 2-2 on the AW when comfortably beating Baldomero at Chelmsford last month.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Kempton Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GLOBAL WARNING had little trouble in justifying favouritism at Wolverhampton recently and a quick-fire double could be in the offing for John Butler's gelding, with a 4lb penalty looking far from insurmountable. Got No Dollars posted a close-up third at Chelmsford last Monday and the five-year-old is feared most racing off the same mark, ahead of fellow in-form rival Sparkling Spirit, who may find some improvement from first-time blinkers.

GLOBAL WARNING easily landed a gamble at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, shouldering a 4-lb penalty, he should be able to go in again if the race doesn't come too soon. Got No Dollars looks the main danger and Rabinal could feature if he improves.

The most obvious answer is GLOBAL WARNING, who obliged with a sudden return to form when heavily punted last week.

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.

Freetodream was far from disgraced when finishing fourth at Goodwood in June and Amanda Perrett's inmate likely has more to offer in handicaps. However, DIVINE MESSENGER makes slightly more appeal on his return to 7f after not appearing to stay a mile on his fourth-placed reappearance at Lingfield last week. Vitalline has been knocking on the door of late and the five-year-old should give another good account racing off the same mark.

The market should prove informative but SEAS OF ELZAAM has fallen to a potentially lenient mark and could just be worth chancing given he's gone well on the back of a break previously. Wake Up Harry and Freetodream are next best, ahead of Vitalline.

Wake Up Harry has possibilities but preference is for VITALLINE, who has posted a couple of good recent efforts.

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.
