8:30 Kempton Tips

A beaten favourite when runner-up over a furlong and a half further at Chelmsford last time out. This drop back to a mile and a half appeals.

Has won seven times at this course but not at this trip. Returns after a three-month break with the yard in good form and is only two pounds above his last winning mark. David Egan, who partnered him for that last win, returns. Good each-way bet.

Three runs this year and a better effort two weeks ago over this 12f trip when beaten 2L ??' slow start, raced wide, short of room late on. The 6yo faced rivals rated 66??'71 that day and now faces rivals rated 46??'65. Now 4 lb better off with a good claiming apprentice who has ridden seven winners for a 16% strike rate this year.

Fiddlers Green looks all set to run a big race in this. The dual CD winner, who has also gone close here twice, has raced over further on the last two runs and was in a better class than today's when running at this track three starts ago. Gina Morgan, who is 2/6 on him, takes over in the saddle, and the 12/1 current price offers good value for what is a rare AW bet.

I am opting for this 4-year-old filly to place at enticing 18/1 odds, as she will gain from a drop in grade and the addition of a hood to calm her. Although she had a poor showing here five weeks ago, she is a lightly raced filly, and her trainer John O'Shea has been enjoying a 25% strike rate recently.
