Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Chale Chalo is our selection at Kempton, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his raw figure suggests, with our rating of 81 just a pound behind the top-rated Kitaro Kich on 82. That is a very slim gap, and an improving type over this mile on the all-weather can bridge it with a bit more progress. Kitaro Kich is the obvious danger given his rating, while Dumuji on 79 and Mertoun on 78 are both within a few pounds and cannot be dismissed in a tight nine-runner Class 5. This looks an open contest, but Chale Chalo is the one to side with.

Kitaro Kich tops our ranking at 82 and has run over today's trip and going, back quickly after 14 days, so he's a leading threat from stall five. The concern is a winless run in his last five, with a seventh last time out.

Fourth last time out and a winner two starts back, Bold Suitor is back quickly after 12 days and has run over today's trip and going, but he carries 138 lb from stall eight and sits sixth of nine on our rating of 74.

Dumuji was a fourth last time out and a winner five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 79 ranks him third of nine. The risk is a 63-day absence, with 137 lb to carry from draw 9.

Rossa Ryan
Jane Chapple-Hyam 0/12
Mertoun won last time out and has three wins in his last six starts, a fourth and a fourth two and three starts back either side, so he arrives in rude health, and he has run over today's trip. The one concern is 136 lb off an official mark of 74 after a 30-day break.

Billy Loughnane
Andrew Balding 9/76
Assiri Heights is yet to win in his last four starts, though a fourth last time out and a second two starts back show some bounce after a ninth four runs ago. He has run over today's trip and returns after 22 days, but 136 lb from draw 6 and a seventh-of-nine ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy.

Pierre-Louis Jamin
Tom Dascombe 1/7
Chale Chalo bids to build on a third last time out, and at 29 days since that run he should be fresh, having already run over today's trip and going. Drawn one and carrying 134 lb, he is yet to win in his last six starts, but our figures rank him second of nine.

David Egan
John Butler 1/18
Protectrix won last time out and was third two starts back, so the form is on an upward curve, and she is fresh enough after 21 days with experience of today's trip. Even so, 133 lb is a hefty burden and our figures rank her last of nine, so she is hard to fancy.

Hexagonal was ninth last time out 40 days ago, and he is hard to fancy at 130 lb, though he was a winner two starts back and again five starts back, and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 72 ranks him eighth of nine.

Callum Hutchinson
Tim Vaughan 0/7
Winless in his last five and unplaced in his last two, Double Time has drifted since a fourth five starts back, and 55 days off doesn't scream sharpness. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 77 ranks him fifth of nine, so he's a midfield type from stall 3.
