Eye-catching last run when finishing late against Ramn di Loria, and the handicap mark stays the same at 52. Sticks to 6f tonight and has a nice middle draw for this hold-up performer.

-100
The Jeremy Scott stable has been hitting the bar lately with a few seconds in the last fortnight, and maybe Celtic Art can change that. A course-and-distance winner who likes good ground, he put up a winning performance at Taunton on the penultimate start. The last run has to be ignored, as it was on heavy ground. Officially rated the second-best horse in the race, so the odds seem too big.

The Gary Moore stable are in form with 3 winners from 40 runs. Unlike my main selection in the race, Takeiteasy, the jockey on Hes A Latchico, Rob Hargreaves, takes off a valuable 8 lb, which is a proven advantage in these conditional jockey races. He is a previous Kempton winner on the flat and stays all sorts of trips from 1m 6f to 2m 3f.

Getting on in years but I like the Pam Sly horses and she does well with a small string. She's also had a winner in the last fortnight. Take It Easy has had a good record second run back from a break, so today he could possibly improve on the recent second at Fakenham. That was a grade higher than today and he was beaten by the younger horse Morning Mayhem. Overlooked in the market, but as Kempton is often a front-runners' course, I will take a chance at the odds on offer.

The Olly Murphy stable is in fine form with six winners in the last fortnight. You don't have to go back too far to find winning form over shorter trips. The stable switch is interesting, and maybe the 3-mile trip will be the key to Kells Prior regaining some form.

A bit of a risk as Hawkseye View fell last time out. But before that, 13 races over chases with 1 win and 5 places, plus an unseated rider, are not bad stats. Also a beaten favourite last time out and trained by Sue Smith (a stable in form). Winning form on good??"soft ground and makes a quick return after 8 days, so I suspect he is none the worse for the fall.

Paddy O'Mahler from the in-form Sue Smith stable had a nicely priced chase winner on Saturday. Paddy O is also in good form; his recent form figures read 112. The handicapper has had his say, but he ran well enough last time out and was only collared close home by Chasingtheblues, who is today’s favourite. Because of that, I make him an each-way play today. Trip and ground no problem, and he beat the favourite last time out.

Egbert went into the notebook when winning the Tommy Whittle at Haydock in December 2024. He was then aimed at the Grand National and put in two bad runs. He then switched stables to Christian Williams and bolted up when returned to Haydock Park. Today he goes to Exeter in a follow-up attempt, and with Harry Cobden booked that must be a positive. Effective on both right- and left-handed tracks, a similar display to the Haydock race would see him go close.

Previous Wolverhampton winner with only seven runs on the board. The wind-op surgery has been performed, and if it helps with the horse's breathing, he could bounce back to earlier form.

Heltenham is attempting to win this race for a third time. So, even though he won last time out, you would expect he's been trained for today. He beat Blow Your Wad that day, who has franked the form at Cheltenham. The handicap mark is 6 lb higher, but he has won at this course four times and seems to save his best for Newbury. The Skeltons are in top form, and Harry Skelton is reunited today.

Adding to my Nap selection with Scenario. You have to forgive the last run where she finished stone last. Based on previous form, beating Naughty Niall off 52 gives her a chance. It could just be that Scenario does not like Southwell and runs better at Wolverhampton. Willing to give Scenario a chance today at good odds and back over a mile.

I like the two Tony Carroll horses in this race, with the each way bet going to Volendum. Yet to win a race but has come very close the last three times. Beaten by Roaring Ralph in the latest run, who has franked the form by winning again at Southwell from a 3 lb higher mark. Therefore that form is strong in relation to Volendum being beaten a length. The handicap mark is only 1 lb higher today. Very consistent at the trip: 4 places from 5 runs without winning.

Jockey booking catches the eye. Hollie Doyle has been riding well, as always: five winners from 24 in the last fortnight. Age of Baroque must be a bit temperamental, as he is normally taken down early in his races. Good run last time, third to Camino Del Ray, and if he reproduces that he could take a hand.

A bit of a speculative selection. Isla Bella is a maiden winner, winning her second start on the turf at Brighton. She continues to be dropped in the handicap and is now 19 lb lower than the initial handicap mark. Some promise shown in 5f races, so today's trip may see her sneak a place. Has not run at Lingfield before and if not today may be worth keeping onside when running at Brighton (weak race needed) this season

Irish Ballet, from a basement mark, could surprise a few and has place claims from the all-powerful National Hunt stable of Henry de Bromhead. Often overlooked in the markets as the assumption is they are getting him fit to go hurdling. That may well be the case, but with already two efforts at Dundalk he may sneak a place. The jockey's claim will assist.

The Michael Attwater 5yo Twirler is running consistently in 2026 with one win and three placed efforts to her name. She has not been dealt the best draw today but tends to be a hold-up performer, so that may not be too bad. She has only been to Lingfield once; that was this season when she was favourite and finished third to Beatties Boy, who has gone on to frank the form. That race was over 6f, and today's 7f is more suitable given a patient ride.

Eutropia goes for a back-to-back win, stepping down in trip tonight after a win at Lingfield over 1m 2f. She has experience at Wolverhampton with two placed efforts. If the reason for the win last time was the step up in trip, then I may well have read this wrong, but she won so easily there's every reason to believe the step down in trip will be no problem.

It's the run before that catches the eye ??" 2nd to Bringsty at Gowran Park on soft ground, hampered at a crucial stage. That was off 68 and has dropped to 65 for today's attempt. I was initially concerned about the draw, but after checking the ATR website it's actually a big advantage to be drawn high.

The Ivan Furtado stable are in a rich vein of form with four winners in the last fortnight. As a 4yo and only a second run in a handicap, Alfa Sea Breeze is entitled to progress. I'm not totally sure if today’s the day, as she has not seen a racecourse for 252 days, but at the price she is worth the risk. She made her racecourse debut at Southwell in a maiden when down the field and is a speculative selection today based on the price.

Has been my long-term Gold Cup selection since winning the Betfair Chase at Haydock. The roll of honour for the Betfair Chase reads well: Imperial Commander and Kauto Star went on to win the big one. The Skeltons have trained him for this day since that win. Disappointing in the Cotswold Chase can be forgiven after being kicked at the start and in one of those small-field chase races with no pace for him to aim at. Has won three times with "good" in the going description and eight times with "soft", so the ground is not a worry.

Kazansky is a 6yo, the ideal age for this race. Trained by Gordon Elliott, whose stable have been a bit unlucky this week but have one win on the board. This race is normally won by the Irish, who have a strong hand today. Fav Dr Steinberg beat Kazansky easily on the last run but just might be vulnerable in this bigger field as he's a keen-going sort. At 3/1 I am prepared to favour Kazansky each way. He will benefit from the bigger field and stronger pace, as he seems to be a real stayer with bags of stamina.

The Gavin Cromwell stable has been under a cloud lately, but with three winners in the last fortnight, maybe the tide has turned. Only By Night was last year's Arkle runner-up, so has Cheltenham Festival form, and then went on to win a Grade 3 at Naas.

Ndaawi has obviously been laid out for this after finishing second last year. The last run was a prep run on the flat. Interestingly, they have booked apprentice Josh Williamson to take off 5 lb. He's not lacking experience, with 30 wins to his name. Ndaawi runs well at the Cheltenham Festival and was 3rd in the Fred Winter in 2024, then went on to finish 2nd in this last year. Beaten by Kargese that day, so that's no disgrace, and it's not easy off top weight, but he looks overpriced based on the above.

A bit speculative but could be anything and interesting. They come straight here after acquiring the horse in January. The last run from the previous trainer in France was second to today's favourite Proactif, also now with Willie Mullins, on very soft ground. All reports seem to suggest the ground is faster than that, so I would look for a reverse with that form. It's often risky to side with the Willie Mullins second string, and with nine runners who knows where this one is in the pecking order. But as we saw last year in this race, throw enough darts at the board and one will hit.

Highland Crystal is unbeaten in three races and in the last race beat the easy Fred Winter winner Saratoga, so has strong claims on form today. Willie Mullins provides half the field, which means Highland Crystal is a bit overpriced today. All the wins have been on soft or heavy ground, but he has not raced on good ground, so it could go either way, I suppose. Nine of the last 12 winners were trained in Ireland, and Highland Crystal has won over further than 2m 1f, which bodes well.
