17:30 – Try Unibet’s New Improved Acca Boosts Apprentice Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This looks a fairly workable little 3yo handicap rather than a deep one, and the market may not be far wrong with Musical Soldier setting the standard. Ollie Sangster’s colt has been admirably consistent, arrives off the back of three wins and a good second, and his 7f all-weather profile is rock-solid. The interesting angle beneath him is whether anything is lurking on a handy mark, and Superstorm fits that bill after a win and a second while carrying a feather weight here. Chapman’s Peak also comes into it on a solid latest second, while Bundok has been knocking on the door without quite getting the job done. It’s not impossible, but it does look a race where recent, reliable form should count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Musical Soldier – 9/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Libby Swallow | Trainer: Ollie Sangster | Form: 221112 | Rating: 72 | Topspeed: 65
He’s the obvious one, but sometimes obvious is the right answer. Musical Soldier has done very little wrong in recent starts, winning three on the spin before bumping into one when second last time, and that topspeed figure of 65 is the best on offer in this field. Drawn in 2, he should get a smooth trip around here, and this sharp 7f on Polytrack looks ideal. Off 72 he still doesn’t look badly treated, especially in a race lacking much hidden depth. At 9/4 he isn’t a gift, but he does set the clearest standard and is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
2. Superstorm – 5/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Mikkel Mortensen | Trainer: Charlie Fellowes | Form: 466412 | Rating: 77 | Topspeed:
Superstorm makes plenty of each-way appeal because he looks in form and gets in here with just 123lb, which could be a real asset if this turns tactical. His recent figures of 412 suggest he has found his level now, and that latest second backed up the impression of a progressive sort rather than one merely cashing in once. Charlie Fellowes’ runner is well berthed in stall 6 and should have the pace to hold a decent position without doing too much too soon. In an eight-runner race where a few have become expensive to follow, 5/1 is a fair each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Musical Soldier is the win play because he brings the strongest recent form and the best speed figure into a race that doesn’t look overloaded with improvers. For an each-way alternative, Superstorm appeals as the solid option with momentum and a very handy weight. The main dangers are Chapman’s Peak, who shaped well last time, and Bundok, who has been threatening to land one.

18:00 – Unibet More Extra Place Races Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 3 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This looks a fairly informative 2yo maiden rather than a throwaway nursery stepping stone, with a couple of expensive-looking newcomers taking on the one piece of established form that really stands out. Gold Army sets the standard after finishing third on debut and his mark of 82 gives him obvious substance in a race where most arrive with no public evidence at all. Inscription is the other one the market has latched onto and the Balding yard knows exactly what is required with this type, while Abersoch and Anahona add depth for powerful connections. The problem for punters is deciding whether proven form beats potential over Kempton’s 7f. It is not impossible, but Gold Army brings the safest profile and this does not look the deepest maiden underneath the principals.
Top Selections
1. Gold Army – 13/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Harry Charlton | Form: 3 | Rating: 82 | Topspeed: 61
He is the one runner with a proper piece of form on the board and it is easy to see why he heads the market. That debut third has been strong enough to earn him an 82 rating, which is a clear edge on what the exposed runners have achieved and a healthy standard for the newcomers to match first time up. Harry Charlton’s juveniles tend to come forward for racing, so natural improvement over this extra experience would make him hard to oppose. At 13/8 he is not a gift, but in a maiden full of guesswork he is the solid option and the one most likely to run his race. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Abersoch – 11/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: Kevin Philippart De Foy | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
Of the unraced brigade, Abersoch makes most appeal as the each-way play. The Philippart De Foy team can ready one first time and David Egan is a positive booking in a maiden where professionalism can count for plenty around Kempton. Draw 11 is not ideal over 7f, but it is less of a killer here than it would be on sharper tracks if he breaks and finds cover early. With several of these either looking ordinary on what they have shown or easy to swerve at the prices, 11/2 feels fair enough for a newcomer from a yard capable of landing races of this nature. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Gold Army is the straightforward win bet because he has already posted the best form in the field and should improve for that debut. Abersoch is the each-way alternative in a race where plenty are guessing games and three places offer some cover. The obvious danger is Inscription, who could easily be above average on debut, while Anahona is another newcomer worth respecting.

18:30 – Unibet 3 Uniboosts A Day/EBF Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
Race Details: 6f | Class 4 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This looks a useful enough novice for the grade, with the market understandably centred on Sierra Belle and Farasan. Sierra Belle brings the strongest established form after a pair of runner-up efforts and her 88 rating sets the standard, while Farasan is the obvious dark horse from the Gosden yard after just one start. Behind them, Blue Victory, I Am Royal and Asgar have shown enough to suggest they can be competitive in ordinary company, but they may need the principals to underperform. Kempton’s 6f on this surface tends to reward professionalism as much as raw ability, and that makes previous experience a big asset. It is not impossible to spring a surprise, but this still looks a race where the classier fillies and better-bred improvers should dominate.
Top Selections
1. Sierra Belle – 5/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Rossa Ryan | Trainer: Ralph Beckett | Form: 22 | Rating: 88 | Topspeed:
Sierra Belle is the one with the clearest, most reliable form in the book and she sets a solid standard for the others to aim at. Two silver medals are no bad thing in this company, especially when they have earned her a mark of 88, which is comfortably the best figure on offer here. Beckett’s juveniles usually know their job by this stage and Rossa Ryan is an eye-catching booking around Kempton. At 5/2 she is not a giveaway, but she makes plenty of appeal because she has already shown the professionalism this track demands. If she runs to the same level again, she will take plenty of beating.
Bet: WIN
2. Asgar – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Hector Crouch | Trainer: Clive Cox | Form: 94 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed:
Asgar looks the each-way value in a race where a few of these are priced on stable reputation rather than hard evidence. His fourth last time was a step forward from debut and an 80 rating gives him a realistic platform in this field, especially with several of the bigger-priced runners looking badly exposed already. Clive Cox knows the time of day with 2yos over sprint trips and Hector Crouch is a positive jockey booking for a youngster still learning. Available at 11/1, he makes more appeal than some shorter in the market because there is every chance another bit of improvement is forthcoming.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sierra Belle is the percentage call for the win bet because she has the standout form and the best rating. For an each-way punt, Asgar makes most sense at double-figure odds with place terms on offer in a 12-runner field. Farasan is the obvious danger if taking a big step forward from his debut, while Blue Victory is another who could get involved if improving as expected.

19:00 – Unibet/EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 3 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This does not look much of a novice on paper, because Fortitudine has already set a clear standard and the market reflects that. Charlie Appleby’s colt made a winning start and his 102 rating towers over this field, so he is plainly the one they all have to beat. Shadow Road is the obvious form horse in opposition after getting off the mark last time and looks the most likely one to give the favourite something to think about. Brave Hunter has more experience than most and at least brings a bit of battle-hardened consistency, while Roxy Power is the unknown quantity on debut for a good yard. The other two, Anchor and No Ordinary Joe, look badly up against it. Small field, straightforward shape, but not much juice in the favourite’s price.
Top Selections
1. Fortitudine – 1/4 with Bet365
Jockey: William Buick | Trainer: Charlie Appleby | Form: 1 | Rating: 102 | Topspeed: 95
He is hard to oppose. A debut winner with a mark of 102 and a Topspeed figure of 95, Fortitudine has already achieved more than anything else in this line-up and sets a standard that should be beyond these unless one of them improves markedly. Appleby and Buick are the sort of combination you expect to clean up races like this, and the step to 1m2f around Kempton should hold no fears judged on the authority of that first success. At 1/4 he is no gift to punters, but in pure win terms he looks the most solid piece of form in the race. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Shadow Road – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: John Butler | Form: 41 | Rating: 89 | Topspeed: 84
If you want to play against the odds-on favourite in some way, Shadow Road makes most appeal as the each-way angle. He improved from his debut fourth to win next time and did it well enough to suggest there could be another step forward in him. An 89 rating still leaves him with plenty to find against Fortitudine, but in a six-runner race he is the one with the clearest right to chase the jolly home. David Egan is a positive booking and this progressive sort should get a sensible tow into the race. Around 4/1, he looks the value for those wanting something beyond a short-priced banker.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Fortitudine is the obvious win bet and the likeliest result is simply that class tells. If you want a second play, Shadow Road is the each-way option because he is the most credible improver and the strongest candidate to fill the runner-up spot. Roxy Power is the danger if the market speaks for the Crisford newcomer, while Brave Hunter has place possibilities without looking good enough to win.

19:30 – Try Unibet’s New Smartview Racecards Fillies’ Handicap (London Sprint Series Qualifier)
Race Details: 6f | Class 5 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 5, but it is the sort of fillies’ sprint where the market may not have everything its own way. Egotistical brings the most solid recent all-weather profile after a good second last time and has the right draw to get involved early, while Remi Mae is knocking on the door and gets the notable booking of Oisin Murphy. Zoustar Dreams has been admirably consistent without quite looking thrown in, and Amelia’s Joy is another who can give her running if handling this setup as well as some of the others. Got The Booty has ability but arrives off a lesser effort and needs to bounce back. In a race lacking depth, position and track craft around Kempton’s six furlongs should count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Egotistical – 3/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Ray Dawson | Trainer: Roger Varian | Form: 231742 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 60
She looks the percentage call. That recent form figures line is rock-solid for this grade, and the latest second suggested she remains in very good nick. A mark of 73 looks workable rather than restrictive, and her Topspeed figure of 60 is one of the better efforts on offer in this line-up. The inside draw in stall 2 is another obvious plus at Kempton if Ray Dawson can hold a handy spot. Varian’s filly has fewer questions to answer than most of these and, at 3/1 with Bet365, she makes plenty of appeal in a race where reliability may be the key asset. Bet: WIN
2. Zoustar Dreams – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Ed Dunlop | Form: 114144 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed:
She’s not especially well hidden by the handicapper now, but she keeps running her race and that counts for plenty in a contest like this. The form string of 114144 tells you exactly what she is: genuine, consistent and usually thereabouts. Stall 1 should suit a filly who can travel close to the pace, and Billy Loughnane is the sort you want in a sharp six-furlong handicap where split-second decisions matter. She may not have much in hand off 75, but plenty of her rivals are either less exposed in the wrong way or arrive with something to prove. At 13/2 with Bet365, she looks the sensible each-way punt. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Egotistical is the win play because she arrives with the strongest recent all-weather credentials and looks set for a good trip from stall 2. Zoustar Dreams is the each-way alternative in this eight-runner field, with her consistency and ideal inside draw making her easy to fancy for the places. Remi Mae is the obvious danger if Murphy can unlock a bit more at the finish.

20:00 – Unibet Supporting Safer Gambling Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This looks a proper little 3yo handicap rather than a weak late-evening affair, with several arriving in form and not much between them on official figures. Comic Hero heads the market and is easy enough to see why, dropping in the weights and returning to 7f after shaping as though this trip would suit. Blakefell is another with obvious claims after a pair of solid seconds and his topspeed figure stands out in this line-up. Raggaas is progressive for the Crisfords and won with a bit in hand last time, while Hardy’s Hero has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front. It is competitive rather than impossible, but the one most likely to be decided by track position and who gets the smoothest run at the right time.
Top Selections
1. Blakefell – 4/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Silvestre De Sousa | Trainer: Ivan Furtado | Form: -16322 | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 86
Blakefell makes plenty of appeal here. He has been holding his form well, finishing runner-up on his last two starts, and that topspeed mark of 86 is the best on offer in this field. Drawn in stall 2, he should get a lovely trip round Kempton, and Silvestre De Sousa is exactly the sort you want on a straightforward, pace-tracking handicapper at this track. He is up against other unexposed 3yos, but unlike some of them he has already shown he can run right up to this sort of level on a consistent basis. At 4/1, he looks a fair price rather than a skinny one. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Manly Fireball – 14/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Billy Loughnane | Trainer: Richard Hughes | Form: 372152 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 78
For an each-way play, Manly Fireball is the one that jumps out. His recent form reads well enough in the context of this race, and he arrives after another solid placed effort, so there is no question about current wellbeing. Billy Loughnane is a positive booking in a race where getting into a handy rhythm from a wide draw could be crucial, and this horse has shown enough tactical versatility to suggest he can cope. He does need a career-best to win, but in an eight-runner race with three places on offer, 14/1 feels bigger than it should be for one coming here in decent nick off a workable mark. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Blakefell is the main play; he brings the strongest recent speed figure and looks well set for Kempton from a good draw. Manly Fireball is the each-way punt at a double-figure price in a race where several are closely matched. Comic Hero is the obvious danger if this return to 7f sharpens him up, while Raggaas is respected as the progressive one.

20:30 – Bet £20 Get £20 With Unibet Handicap (London Middle Distance Qualifier)
Race Details: 1m 2f | Class 5 | Going: Standard to slow (Polytrack) | | flat
This has a fairly straightforward look on paper now that Extraterrestrial is out, and it is hard to get away from the progressive profile of Madjid. Harry Charlton’s 3yo arrives seeking the hat-trick after back-to-back wins and is the one bringing momentum into a modest Class 5. Joseph has been threatening to strike again and his latest third suggests he should be competitive off 73, while Pershalla comes here on the back of a win but needs to show that wasn’t a one-off. Thatcham is lightly raced and could improve for Richard Hannon, though he has a bit to prove after only three starts. In truth, this doesn’t look a deep race, and if Madjid runs to the level of his recent efforts, the rest may be playing for places.
Top Selections
1. Madjid – 4/7 with Bet365
Jockey: Lewis Edmunds | Trainer: Harry Charlton | Form: 295711 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 63
Madjid is short, but there is an obvious reason for that. He has turned a corner with wins on his last two starts, and for a 3yo still learning his job, there is every chance there is more to come from an opening mark of 76. He is not thrown in on the figures, but he is progressive whereas several of these look exposed enough. Lewis Edmunds keeps the ride and the Charlton yard is more than capable of placing one to complete a sequence. At 4/7 he is no hidden gem, but he is the solid one and very much the horse they all have to beat. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Joseph – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: David Egan | Trainer: John Butler | Form: 010443 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 65
Joseph looks the percentage each-way play in a race lacking depth behind the favourite. His recent form figures do not scream certainty, but that latest third was perfectly respectable and he has been holding his level well enough in this grade. The topspeed figure of 65 is the best on show among those with a recent number, and from stall 3 he should get a handy trip around Kempton. David Egan is a positive booking for this type of race, and at 9/2 he makes more appeal than Pershalla as the one most likely to chase the jolly home if things pan out as expected. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple here. Madjid is the win bet and looks the most likely result in a weak enough Class 5 if continuing his upward curve. For those wanting something at a better price, Joseph is the each-way option and rates the likeliest to hit the frame. Pershalla is the obvious danger after a recent win, while Thatcham is the one with a bit of scope if stepping forward.
