2:30 Kempton Tips

Only defeat came on heavy ground, easy enough to excuse that. Winner on his sole start this year, that came over this C&D, with the runner-up coming out and winning by 11 lengths the other week. He lacks some experience, but a mark of 88 could well be on the low side for him with the potential of plenty more to come.

Unexposed 3yo colt. Just four runs this year. He was a class 2 winner on his return during April. Two big runs in defeat recently, posting high RPR rating. He was a close 3rd of 16 during Sept, the runner-up won his next two races and the winner has won again since. He was a close 2nd of 12 three weeks ago, beaten by a progressive 103 rated runner. He can get a handy early position from his draw in stall 1, still on a decent mark and could have more to offer in this class 2 handicap.

SUPERPOSITION has won two races at 1m, second over 7f at Newcastle on his latest outing in September. The course, distance, and surface should suit. He seems well treated and could well be able to go in again and win this race.

The Gosden-trained Rob Havlin (2 wins from 5 runs) ridden Chancellor is making his handicap debut. The Cheveley Park Stud-owned 3yo Kingman gelding should be all the better after 185 days break. Wind surgery and a switch to the all-weather for the first time could result in a much-improved performance.

2 from 2 on the all-weather, including a win here at Kempton. The draw hasn't been kind, but still must have a great each-way chance with 4 places in this handicap.

Came back from over a year away from the track to take 3rd at Newcastle in a field of twelve after running out of steam in the last furlong. Should run fitter this time around and add to that sole win here from the one run - runs two pounds lower than that.

Blew the start and could never get into contention afterwards in the very hot class 2 Balmoral Handicap over a mile @ Ascot Lto. Won a better class 2 than this one on the Aw @ Newcastle on prior run, so return to this surface not an issue, decent draw today and very good jockey/trainer combination makes current 12/1 very good Ew value in the race.

won all 5 races as a 2.y.o., from 16 since then and makes its Polytrack debut today for a stable who have had 8 winners from 22 runners at the track, not beaten far last time out at Newcastle when finishing 5th beaten 2 lengths by Witch Hunter, this one can be given a solid E/W shout on the stables form at this track

GRAND TRAVERSE ran well here twice in August and didn't disgrace himself when stepping up to class two in a lucrative event at Newcastle last time out. Comes back to Kempton at the same weight as that Newcastle trip and this doesn't look quite as competitive as that. Gets a good position in the stalls and could stick around.

Poorly drawn today, but clearly has the ability to win a race like this. Has slipped somewhat in the weights, and he is a multiple C&D winner from a top stable. Must have place claims in this race.
