Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Roaring Legend No. 1, stall 12
H. J. Horgan · Olly Murphy
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (8/35, 14 days)
Roaring Legend heads our ratings on 106, five pounds clear of Real Dream on 101, and that is a meaningful edge in a competitive Class 2 over two miles at Kempton. The going is standard to slow. Real Dream is the chief danger, with Duraji a pound further back and Hot Fuss close enough to cause trouble if the pace is muddled. Roaring Legend looks the one to beat and is our selection.

Roaring Legend sits top of our ratings and brings solid, consistent form, with three seconds in his last six starts, one of them two starts back, and he has run over today's trip. He is yet to win in that spell and was only fifth last time, but 32 days' rest should help.

Fresh from a win last time out, and a winner four starts back too, Hot Fuss is in good heart after just 19 days and has run over today's trip; our rating of 98 puts him fourth of 14. The risk is the 133 lb he carries against an official mark of 95.

Duraji's form is solid rather than spectacular, with a fourth two starts back and a third four runs ago, and he has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 100 sits above his official 94, which makes him a leading threat, but the main risk is a 60-day break after a sixth last time out.

Brasil Power has run over today's trip and going, but he's finished ninth last time out and a ninth three starts back, with a win six starts back his only success in recent form. A 109-day absence and 131 lb don't help, though our rating of 95 sits just above his official 93.

Rossa Ryan
Ian Williams 0/25
Real Dream looks a strong threat in rating terms, ranked second of 14 on our figures at 101, and he has run over today's trip and going before, coming off a fourth last time out. The main risk is a winless sequence in recent starts, with his yard 0/25 over the last 14 days.

Robert Havlin
John & Thady Gosden 4/33
Guildmaster was a fourth last time out, 19 days ago, which hints at a bit of life, but he's without a win in his last five starts and had a seventh and an eighth before that. Carrying 129 lb off 98, he looks a midfield type, and our rating of 96 backs that up.

Luke Morris

Synergism has been consistent, finishing third last time out, a fourth two starts back, and a third three starts back, with a win four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Against that, he's had 43 days off, carries 128 lb off an official mark of 90, and our rating of 92 only ranks him ninth of 14.

Boatswain won three starts back but has since finished an eighth, then a sixth last time out, and returns after 38 days. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 95 sits above his official 90, though carrying 128 lb leaves him little margin.

Codiak has three wins in his last five starts, including last time out, but he returns after 178 days off and a yard managing just 1 winner from 26 lately. Carrying 126 lb off an official mark of 88, he looks hard to fancy, with our figures ranking him 12th of 14.

Charles Bishop
Emma Lavelle 2/13
Squire Danagher won three of his last five starts, but a ninth two runs back and a third last time out suggest the sparkle has faded, and he carries 126 lb off an official mark of 88. Our figures rank him 13th of 14, so he is hard to fancy despite the 32-day break.

Sax Appeal was unplaced last time out, though he won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, and only 11 days since that run keeps him fit. Ranked 11th of 14 on our figures, carrying 125 lb off 87, he is hard to fancy.

Indemnity was only fifth last time out but was second two starts back, and he is yet to win in his last five, though he returns after 25 days and has run on today's going before. Our rating of 97 outstrips his official 83, yet carrying 123 lb leaves little margin.

Arc Zoosve won four on the spin before two unplaced runs since, so the form has tailed off, and 10 days since his last outing offers little respite. He has run over today's trip and going and carries 123 lb off 79, but our rating of 78 ranks him 14th of 14.
