6:00 Kempton Tips

Aneirins Sword was DHT last time out at Chelmsford on handicap debut and is stepping up in trip to 1 mile. Only up 1 lb for that, so has to be worth another shot with Billy Loughnane in the saddle to help out this time.

Last two runs have been impressive enough to suggest that he will be involved at the finish in today's race. He is already a winner over the distance, and this unexposed sort looks to have more to come.

Just four career runs for the 3yo. Room for more improvement. He comes into the race after two narrow novice stakes defeats. The form looks fine. The winner from his last race is rated 72. No runner is rated above 65 in this handicap, and the selection now has a good 5 lb claiming apprentice in the saddle for his handicap debut.

Hamaleel was an OK second here in September after a short break off a 65 and returns today after another short break off a 63. Hollie Doyle is back on board; she was in charge for that last run here, so I would expect more today. EW 2P

Quick Turn is a gelding rated 60 whose better all-weather form has come over this sort of trip, including a Kempton effort where he moved strongly through the race and finished close up without the run of things. He has shown he can stay on well in similar company off today’s mark or lower. With conditions again playing to his strengths and a setup that should allow him to settle and finish, there are solid reasons to expect him to outrun his odds and be competitive late on.
