8:30 Kempton Tips

Beylerbeyi is a gelding rated 99 whose better all-weather form has come over this sort of trip, including a Kempton effort where he moved smoothly through the race and finished close up without everything falling right. He has proven he can run well off today’s rating or lower and tends to finish best when allowed to build into the contest. With conditions again in his favour, there are solid reasons to expect him to outrun his odds and be competitive late on.

Paradias only missed out by a neck last time out off a 99 at 1m4f at Wolverhampton, and last won this here off a 99 at 1m3f back in January last year, so gets the vote from me.

Very consistent on the All-Weather and has an excellent race record at this course, winning 3 of its 5 visits to Kempton, so can be backed here with some confidence.

The Glen Rovers is 3 from 6 here at Kempton and 5 from 9 overall on the AW. He has progressed from an opening mark of 63 to 92 in a year and a half, and it remains to be seen whether he's reached his limit. Sean Dylan Bowen has ridden 2 of 3 successes here and has picked up a couple of winners himself lately. Looks a value pick on strong course form.

This horse is interesting today, racing off bottom weight with the stable in good form. He looks to be on a reasonable mark now, suggesting he could win on today's terms. Form lines appear to give this horse the beating of Kings Code and, if he can do that, he should be bang there at the finish.

Enjoys this track, winning the Mile Handicap final in 2024, before a cracking run in the same race last year when 5th behind Sky Safari, who has franked form when 2nd in the Oaks trial at Lingfield from 10 lbs higher. 8 lbs lower here and totally unexposed at the trip, so plenty of mileage left in the mark.

The 7-year-old has established a solid reputation at this distance and similar trips. He notably clinched victory in a race over 1m 3f 219y here at Kempton, which seems to be a key track for him. With a proven history that includes a series of wins and competitive placings in high-caliber races, he is worthy of consideration each-way at 12/1.

This is a somewhat speculative punt because it's the first run for this horse for the Rebecca Menzies yard. Simply, we don't know how the horse has trained on since leaving Roger Varian. We do know that the raw stats are good and that the selection can go well when fresh. Worth a SMALL stake.
