Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sakowin heads our ratings on 83 and is narrowly ahead of Babzini on 81 and Somers Isles on 80, which is enough to make him the pick in a wide-open 14-runner Class 5 over 7f at Kempton. A couple of pounds in hand over the two closest rivals is a fair starting point in a race lacking a standout. Babzini and Somers Isles are the chief dangers, with King of Montenegro a few pounds further back but not out of it, so this is far from a banker. Sakowin is our selection.

David Probert
Andrew Balding 7/65
Somers Isles arrives in fine heart with a third last time out, another third two starts back and a second three starts back, so she is consistently in the frame, and our rating of 80 ranks her third of 14. The one concern is that she is yet to win in that sequence, and she carries 135 lb from draw 10.

Billy Loughnane
George Boughey 6/25
Arthur Carrot was third last time out and second three starts back, so he is not without credit, and he has run over today's trip, but he is yet to win in recent starts and his 134 lb is a lot to carry. Rated 12th of 14 on our figures, he is hard to fancy.

Luke Morris
Jack Jones 3/9
Aljoon won last time out and was third and second in the two runs before that, so the form is far from poor, but our figures rank him 13th of 14 and he carries 133 lb off an official 73. He has run over today's trip and returns after 30 days, yet that speed figure of 61 makes him hard to fancy.

Oisin Murphy
John & Thady Gosden 4/31
Farasan has finished fourth twice in his last four runs, but he comes here after an eighth last time out, 20 days ago, and is winless in that spell. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 74 sits a point above his official 73, though carrying 133 lb from stall two looks a bigger ask.

Tansy Lane won two starts back but has been beaten in the other three, including a sixth last time out 25 days ago, and she has run over today's trip before. Carrying 132 lb from draw 6, she looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 73 ranking her ninth of 14.

Daniel Muscutt
Adam Kirby 1/12
Horndean is yet to win in his last five, though a second two starts back and a third five back show he's capable of getting involved; he was fifth last time out, 20 days ago, and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 76 sits above his official 71, but carrying 131 lb from stall nine, he may find it tight.

Rob Hornby
Brian Meehan 2/9
King of Montenegro showed his hand with a fourth last time out and a second two starts back, while our rating of 76 ranks him fourth of 14 and sits above his official 70. The main risk is a 100-day absence, though he has run over today's trip and is yet to win in recent form.

Eve Johnson Houghton 2/22
Babzini booked a third last time out, and a third four starts back, so she arrives in solid shape after 30 days off and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 81 puts her second of 14, though she is yet to win in her last four and that is the main risk.

Gold Reef City is winless in his last four, finishing fifth last time out, fifth two starts back, and a third three starts back, so he is hard to fancy at 11th of 14 on our figures. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 21 days off.
