Kempton racing tips for Monday 30th March 2026 cover a sharp seven-race Kempton Polytrack card (all Flat) with the surface reported as POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow across the meeting. We’ve got competitive small-field action early (two 5-runner sprints at 14:10 and 14:40), before deeper handicaps later on.
The day’s most reliable course evidence is concentrated in a handful of runners: Jazzy Baby is the standout place machine with 3 places from 4 at Kempton (75% place rate), while Holy Fire brings the deepest track history (11 runs, 2 wins). On the rider side, today’s card features high-volume Kempton specialists including Billy Loughnane (376 rides, 15.69% win) and Rossa Ryan (810 rides, 13.46% win). Among trainers with runners today, John & Thady Gosden (19.88% win) and Ralph Beckett (18.29% win) are the headline Kempton strike-rate yards.
Below: race-by-race Kempton predictions, live odds comparison, and any tipster naps available for this card.
Going & Conditions
Going: POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow (all races). Track: Polytrack.
Today’s runners are overwhelmingly rated in a tight band across the handicaps, so efficiency at Kempton’s turning 7f/1m and the ability to sustain speed on Polytrack matters. From the runners with meaningful Kempton history (3+ course runs), the highest place% on the card belongs to Jazzy Baby and Me Tarzan (both 75% place rate), which is a strong signal for each-way/place markets where field sizes allow.
Tipster Performance at Kempton (last 2 years)
Tipster returns at Kempton vary sharply by source. Of the big-name newspaper tipsters requested, Newsboy and Robin Goodfellow have stronger historic strike-rates than Templegate at this track over the last two years.
| Tipster | Naps | Wins | Win % | Place % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Newsboy (Daily Mirror) | 48 | 13 | 27.08% | 56.25% |
| Robin Goodfellow (Daily Mail) | 62 | 10 | 16.13% | 56.45% |
| Templegate (The Sun) | 39 | 5 | 12.82% | 69.23% |
14:10 – Virgin Bet Fillies’ Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 1320y | Class 4 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 5 runners
This is a compact 5-runner novice with the market focused on two lightly-raced 3yos: Barefoot Beach and Mehmas Engine. On today’s card data, Barefoot Beach owns the best official rating (77) in the field, while Mehmas Engine sits close behind on 74. With such a small field, the betting is primarily win-or-bust: each-way terms are limited to 2 places, and the edge comes from price and the strength of the top two on ratings.
Top Selections
1. Barefoot Beach – 8/5 (2.60) ⭐
Jockey: Sean Levey | Trainer: Richard Hannon
Form: 1- | RPR/Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 48
Draw: 5 | Weight: 135
Purely on today’s available metrics, Barefoot Beach has the highest rating in the race (77) and arrives as the only runner with a last-time win in the form line (“1-”). The live market also reflects that strength: best price is 8/5 (Matchbook), with most firms 11/8–6/4. In a 5-runner novice, a clear ratings edge plus a win last time is the most solid data-backed profile in the field.
Best Odds: 8/5 (2.60) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Mehmas Engine – 85/40 (3.13)
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: James Tate
Form: 3 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 40
Draw: 4 | Weight: 128
Mehmas Engine is the clear alternative on figures: only 3lb shy of the top-rated (74 vs 77) and priced a more backable 85/40 (Matchbook). With a single “3” in the form line, the key data point is the proximity on ratings in a race where the rest of the field is below 70 (Yasalam 66; Sizzling Seixas 69). If Barefoot Beach underperforms, Mehmas Engine has the numbers to capitalise.
Best Odds: 85/40 (3.13) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win (or Exacta/forecast with Barefoot Beach)
3. Yasalam – 11/2 (6.60)
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Archie Watson
Form: 4- | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 17
Draw: 1 | Weight: 128
Yasalam is a price play only: the rating (66) and topspeed (17) are well below the top pair, but you do get the best draw (1) in a 5-runner field. The market agrees she’s an outsider (best 11/2 Matchbook). Use in forecasts rather than as a standalone win bet if you’re building permutations.
Best Odds: 11/2 (6.60) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Small forecast cover
Live Odds Comparison
| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Barefoot Beach | 6/4 | 7/5 | – | 11/8 | 8/5 (Matchbook) |
| Mehmas Engine | 15/8 | 9/5 | – | 9/5 | 85/40 (Matchbook) |
| Yasalam | 5/1 | 9/2 | – | 9/2 | 11/2 (Matchbook) |
| Sizzling Seixas | 15/2 | 15/2 | – | 7/1 | 8/1 (Matchbook) |
| Minnie Idol | 10/1 | 9/1 | – | 17/2 | 12/1 (Matchbook) |
Betting Strategy
Win: Barefoot Beach (top-rated 77 and best recent form “1-”).
Forecast: Barefoot Beach / Mehmas Engine (the only runner within 3lb on ratings).
Dangers: Mehmas Engine at a bigger price than the top-rated is the only credible upset on available figures.
14:40 – Virgin Bet Interactive Handicap
Race Details: 1320y | Class 5 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 5 runners
Another tight 5-runner sprint handicap where the market is strongly aligned with the top on today’s numbers. Southern Warrior and Zoustar Dreams share the best official ratings (both 76+; Southern Warrior 77, Zoustar Dreams 76) and Southern Warrior also brings the best topspeed in this field (66 vs 41 for Zoustar Dreams). With small fields, tactical speed matters, and Southern Warrior is drawn 3 with the strongest blend of rating + speed figure.
Top Selections
1. Southern Warrior – 13/8 (2.63) ⭐
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: George Scott
Form: 3-541 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 66
Draw: 3 | Weight: 135
Southern Warrior is the clear pick on the day’s card metrics: best rating (77) and best topspeed (66). The live market is consistent (best 13/8 Matchbook; 11/8–6/4 elsewhere). Rossa Ryan is also a proven Kempton operator on volume: 109 wins from 810 rides here (13.46%).
Best Odds: 13/8 (2.63) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Staniel Cay – 18/5 (4.80)
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Kevin Philippart De Foy
Form: 44-5 | Rating: 68 | Topspeed: 49
Draw: 2 | Weight: 127
Staniel Cay is interesting as the bigger-price alternative, especially if the favourite faces pressure. While the rating is lower (68), the topspeed (49) is second-best in the field and he’s not stuck wide (draw 2). The best price sits at 18/5 (Matchbook), which is meaningfully bigger than the 3/1–7/2 range elsewhere.
Best Odds: 18/5 (4.80) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win (saver)
Live Odds Comparison
| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |

| Southern Warrior | 6/4 | 7/5 | 6/4 | 11/8 | 13/8 (Matchbook) |
| Staniel Cay | 7/2 | 7/2 | 7/2 | 7/2 | 18/5 (Matchbook) |
| Escape Plan | 4/1 | 4/1 | 4/1 | 18/5 | 18/5 (Betfair/Matchbook) |
| Zoustar Dreams | 11/2 | 5/1 | 9/2 | 9/2 | 6/1 (Midnite) |
| Orange Emperor | 11/2 | 11/2 | 11/2 | 11/2 | 13/2 (Matchbook) |
Betting Strategy
Win: Southern Warrior (top rating + top topspeed, and the market is stable).
Forecast: Southern Warrior / Staniel Cay.
Dangers: Escape Plan has a strong topspeed (70) but is still priced 18/5–4/1; he’s the main spoiler by speed figure.

15:10 – Virgin Bet Fillies’ Handicap
Race Details: 1760y | Class 5 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 7 runners
This is the strongest betting race on the card for course evidence. Two of today’s best Kempton course horses line up: Jazzy Baby (4 runs: 1 win, 3 places) and Holy Fire (11 runs: 2 wins). The market, however, is dominated by the unexposed 3yo Plaid (best 15/8), who is also the only horse in the field receiving nap support today (from two tipsters).
Top Selections
1. Plaid – 15/8 (2.88) ⭐
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: James Fanshawe
Form: 21- | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 34
Draw: 1 | Weight: 125
Plaid is the meeting’s most obvious market signal: best odds 15/8 (Matchbook) in a 7-runner handicap and drawn 1. Two independent naps on the card also side with her (Garry Owen and Lee Sobot). While we don’t have a Kempton course history line for Plaid meeting the 3+ runs threshold, the combination of price, draw and multiple tipster support makes her the data-led headline.
Best Odds: 15/8 (2.88) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Jazzy Baby – 9/4 (3.25)
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Keiran Burke
Form: 24-133 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed: 55
Draw: 4 | Weight: 140
Jazzy Baby is the best proven Kempton profile in the race: 1 win from 4 and 3 places from 4 at this track (25% win; 75% place). That’s hard course evidence in a field where several are either lightly raced or unproven at Kempton. Billy Loughnane is also a high-output Kempton jockey: 59 wins from 376 rides (15.69%). If you want a course-angles bet, this is it.
Best Odds: 9/4 (3.25) with Bet365/Betfair/Skybet
Recommended Bet: Each-way (terms depend on bookmaker; 7-runner race typically 1/5 1-2-3 where offered)
3. Art Gallery – 6/1 (7.00)
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: James Ferguson
Form: 821- | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 47
Draw: 3 | Weight: 126
Art Gallery is close on ratings to Jazzy Baby (76 vs 77) and sits at a much bigger price: 6/1 is available on Matchbook. James Ferguson’s Kempton strike-rate is a solid 21 wins from 147 runners (14.29%), supporting the case for this yard at the track.
Best Odds: 6/1 (7.00) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Each-way/value win
Live Odds Comparison
| Horse | Bet365 | Paddy Power | William Hill | Betfair | Best Odds |

| Holy Fire | 14/1 | 18/1 | – | 16/1 | 18/1 (Paddy Power) |
Betting Strategy
Win: Plaid (market leader plus two naps).
Each-way: Jazzy Baby (75% Kempton place rate from 4 runs).
Value: Art Gallery at 6/1 (close on ratings to the principals).
Dangers: Holy Fire is a proven Kempton winner (2 wins from 11) but is priced as a big outsider—worth including in wider exotics.

15:40 – Virgin Bet Maiden Fillies’ Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 2419y | Class 3 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 9 runners
The market is concentrated on two at the head of the betting: Shushi and Aukus. Shushi is the clear favourite at around 11/10–5/4, while Aukus is next best around 6/4–15/8. Both are 3yos receiving weight from older rivals (121 vs 142), which is a major structural advantage in this conditions/maiden setup. This is also a race with returned nap selections (from tipsters outside the four requested), which aligns with the market leaning hard to Shushi.
Top Selections
1. Shushi – 5/4 (2.25) ⭐
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding
Form: 44- | Rating: 65 | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 7 | Weight: 121
Shushi is the most stable market leader on the card: best price 5/4 (Betfair/Paddy Power/Skybet) with 11/10 widely available. Andrew Balding is also a strong Kempton trainer on strike-rate: 108 wins from 685 (15.77%). With a 3yo receiving 21lb from older runners, and the market strongly committed, Shushi is the straightforward win call on the data we have.
Best Odds: 5/4 (2.25) with Betfair / Paddy Power / Skybet
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Aukus – 15/8 (2.88)
Jockey: Edward Greatrex | Trainer: Ralph Beckett
Form: n/a | Rating: n/a | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 8 | Weight: 121
Aukus is the logical alternative on trainer stats. Ralph Beckett’s Kempton record is elite among today’s yards: 62 wins from 339 (18.29%) with a 41.30% place rate. Aukus is also a 3yo on 121, matching Shushi’s weight advantage over the older fillies. The price is playable at 15/8 (Matchbook).
Best Odds: 15/8 (2.88) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
3. Semper Femina – 15/2 (8.50)
Jockey: Alec Voikhansky | Trainer: Richard Hannon
Form: n/a | Rating: n/a | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 1 | Weight: 121
Semper Femina is the value runner by set-up: 3yo on 121 and the best draw (1) with a big price available (15/2 at Matchbook). Richard Hannon is a high-volume Kempton trainer with 260 wins from 2,104 (12.36%). This is the one to include underneath if playing forecasts/tricasts behind the front two.
Best Odds: 15/2 (8.50) with Matchbook

16:10 – Virgin Bet A Good Bet Handicap
Race Details: 1540y | Class 5 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 6 runners
This 6-runner 7f handicap is a tight ratings race at the top: Our Dagger is the highest-rated on 83, while Straight A and Me Tarzan sit on 82. The market edges towards Straight A (best 2/1) with Our Dagger next (best 13/5). Me Tarzan is the key “Kempton place” angle: 3 places from 4 at this track (75% place rate), although he hasn’t won here from 4 attempts.
Top Selections
1. Straight A – 11/5 (3.20) ⭐
Jockey: Alistair Rawlinson | Trainer: Michael Appleby
Form: 26-424 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 65
Draw: 2 | Weight: 134
Straight A is priced as the most likely winner (best 11/5 Matchbook) and is right at the top of the ratings on 82, with a strong topspeed of 65. Rawlinson’s Kempton record is respectable: 21 wins from 209 rides (10.05%). Appleby’s Kempton strike-rate is also solid: 74 wins from 674 (10.98%). In a 6-runner field, the market choice with a near-top rating is the most data-supported.
Best Odds: 11/5 (3.20) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Our Dagger – 13/5 (3.60)
Jockey: Edward Greatrex | Trainer: Adrian Wintle
Form: 11600- | Rating: 83 | Topspeed: n/a
Draw: 4 | Weight: 125
Our Dagger has the best rating in the race (83) and sits second in the market at best 13/5 (Matchbook). With the top rating edge, this is the natural danger if Straight A doesn’t deliver.
Best Odds: 13/5 (3.60) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win saver / forecast
3. Me Tarzan – 9/2 (5.50)
Jockey: Harry Vigors | Trainer: Archie Watson
Form: 1-6464 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 73
Draw: 5 | Weight: 135
Me Tarzan brings the best topspeed in the race (73) and a strong Kempton place profile: 3 places from 4 here (75%). He is still 0-from-4 for wins at Kempton, which helps explain the bigger price (best 9/2, Betfair). If you’re looking for a place-heavy angle in a small field, his Kempton place% is the key piece of hard course data.
Best Odds: 9/2 (5.50) with Betfair
Recommended Bet: Each-way (2 places) / forecast inclusion

16:40 – Virgin Bet Daily Extra Places Handicap
Race Details: 1540y | Class 6 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 9 runners (1 declared Non Runner)
A deeper 3yo handicap where the market centres on Quick Quasar (best 9/4) and Amber Hamur (best 9/2). Notably, Parole Board is shown as a non-runner in the card data, and the odds boards reflect NR. From a trainer angle, Archie Watson (14.40% Kempton win rate) and Hollie Doyle (12.26% Kempton win rate) combine on Quick Quasar, which is a meaningful course combo on raw strike-rate.
Top Selections
1. Quick Quasar – 9/4 (3.30) ⭐
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Archie Watson
Form: 5-702 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 48
Draw: 5 | Weight: 133
Quick Quasar is the market leader (best 9/4 Matchbook) and is backed by the strongest course strike-rate pairing in the field: Doyle has 116 Kempton wins from 946 rides (12.26%) and Watson has 70 wins from 486 runners (14.40%). In these low-grade Kempton handicaps, that combination of stable + rider course output is a tangible edge on the data.
Best Odds: 9/4 (3.30) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Amber Hamur – 9/2 (5.50)
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: George Boughey
Form: 455- | Rating: 62 | Topspeed: 50
Draw: 9 | Weight: 135
Amber Hamur is a clean alternative at a bigger price (best 9/2 Bet365) and again you get the Kempton volume edge from Billy Loughnane: 15.69% win rate at this track. The downside is a wider draw (9), but the price compensates versus the favourite.
Best Odds: 9/2 (5.50) with Bet365
Recommended Bet: Each-way (where enhanced place terms apply)
3. Archangel Josepi – 11/2 (6.80)
Jockey: Ben Robinson | Trainer: Brian Ellison
Form: 4-3732 | Rating: 66 | Topspeed: 62
Draw: 8 | Weight: 132
Archangel Josepi has one of the better topspeeds in the race (62, matching Denby’s Dream) and sits at 11/2 (Matchbook). Brian Ellison’s Kempton trainer figures are 7 wins from 64 (10.94%), which is competitive at this level.
Best Odds: 11/2 (6.80) with Matchbook

Each-way: Amber Hamur (bigger price plus Loughnane’s 15.69% Kempton win rate).
Note: Parole Board is a non-runner in the card data and is priced NR in the odds feed.

17:10 – Virgin Bet Daily Price Boosts Handicap
Race Details: 2639y | Class 6 | POLYTRACK: Standard to Slow | Flat | 11 runners
The closing 11-runner handicap is the day’s most open betting heat by field size, and the market is led by Rum Diamond (best 12/5) with a cluster of challengers behind. This race also has the widest spread of tipster naps today (again, not from the four requested), split across Rum Diamond, Kindly Queen, Montu, and Darn Hot Dame. Skybet is offering 4 places each-way in the odds feed for this race, which materially improves the each-way angle versus standard 3 places.
Top Selections
1. Rum Diamond – 12/5 (3.40) ⭐
Jockey: Cieren Fallon | Trainer: James Owen
Form: 580- | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 48
Draw: 9 | Weight: 130
Rum Diamond is the market anchor at best 12/5 (Matchbook) and has the joint-best rating in the race band (73, shared with Blackisthenewblack). James Owen is a strong Kempton operator among today’s trainers: 17 wins from 115 (14.78%). With that trainer strike-rate and the shortest price, Rum Diamond is the most defensible win play on available data.
Best Odds: 12/5 (3.40) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Win
2. Blackisthenewblack – 11/2 (6.50)
Jockey: P J McDonald | Trainer: Andrew Balding
Form: 636- | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 44
Draw: 2 | Weight: 133
Blackisthenewblack matches Rum Diamond on rating (73) and is drawn 2, with a best price 11/2 (Matchbook). Balding’s Kempton trainer strike-rate is a proven 15.77% (108/685). If you’re opposing the favourite, this is the cleanest “same rating, bigger price” angle in the field.
Best Odds: 11/2 (6.50) with Matchbook
Recommended Bet: Each-way (especially where 4 places are available)
3. Montu – 6/1 (7.00)
Jockey: Hollie Doyle | Trainer: Jack Jones
Form: 97-622 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 68
Draw: 1 | Weight: 120
Montu is the speed angle: topspeed 68 (one of the best in the race) and drawn 1. Hollie Doyle’s Kempton strike-rate is 12.26% (116/946). The best price is 6/1 (Midnite), which looks fair given the draw + speed figure combination.
Best Odds: 6/1 (7.00) with Midnite
Recommended Bet: Each-way

Each-way (place value): Blackisthenewblack and Montu (both competitive on ratings/topspeed and priced 11/2–6/1).
EW terms note: Skybet is showing 1/5 odds, 4 places in the odds feed for this race—materially improves each-way value versus standard 3 places.
