Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Serenity Dream looks the pick of a tightly packed Kempton sprint, his progressive profile giving him the edge over rivals who have little to separate them on figures. He is rated 79, just two pounds behind the top-rated Buccabay on 81, and that is a gap he can bridge if his upward curve continues. Buccabay is the obvious danger, with Caragio on 80 and Modern Times on 79 also firmly in the mix, so this is far from a one-horse race. Still, improvement tends to count for more than a narrow rating edge in a competitive Class 5 over six furlongs, and our selection is Serenity Dream.

Shay Farmer (5)
Adam Kirby 1/12
Caragio won last time out and has two wins in his last six starts, including a third two and three starts back, and he's fresh from a 14-day break having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 80 backs him as a leading threat, though 135 lb from draw 8 is a hefty burden to carry after a win.

Luke Morris
James Owen 4/44
Modern Times won two starts back and three starts back before a seventh last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 79 ranks him third of 12. The main risk is a 48-day absence, with 135 lb to carry from stall nine.

Jack Doughty
Tony Carroll 1/35
Serenity Dream arrives in cracking form, third last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, having also won four starts back. He has run over today's trip and going, though a 28-day break is a small question.

Rossa Ryan
Jack W Davison 0/1
Initial Blue won two and three starts back but was only sixth last time out, and he's ranked ninth of 12 on our figures, so he's hard to fancy under 134 lb. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going before, and a 26-day break shouldn't leave him short of fitness.

Billy Loughnane
Eve Johnson Houghton 2/22
Buccabay has finished third twice in his last six, a fourth-time-back third among them, and returns just 16 days after a ninth, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 81 tops the field, but he is yet to win in that spell and has faded to ninth last time.

Taryn Langley (5)
Adrian Wintle 0/13
Marlborough Place has slipped since a win five starts back, with a fifth three starts back, then a ninth, then unplaced last time out, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 40 days off. Our rating of 79 ranks him fourth of 12, but carrying 134 lb from stall one he needs to arrest the decline.

Dylan Hogan
Julie Camacho 1/20
Consistent without winning, Hundred Caps has finished fifth in his last two and a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A fresh 18 days since his last run helps, but he is yet to win in recent starts and the yard's 1/20 fortnight is a concern.

Zoe Hawkins 0/4
Fourth last time out and back quickly after 14 days, Liosa has been consistent without winning since a victory five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 132 lb from stall six, he's ranked eighth of twelve by our rating, which marks him as a midfield sort.

Marco Ghiani
Peter Chapple-Hyam 1/5
Fresh from a win last time out and a third two starts back, Royal Accord has the recent form to respect, and he has run over today's trip. But our figures rank him 11th of 12, and carrying 131 lb from draw 10 off an official 71 makes him hard to fancy.

Rob Hornby
Tom Ellis 1/6
Receipt has run over today's trip and going before, and a winner four starts back shows he has ability, but he's been well beaten in an eighth last time out and a ninth two starts back. Our rating of 76 sits above his official 70, though 130 lb from stall 12 leaves plenty to do.

Cieren Fallon
Conrad Allen 0/2
Elvetham was sixth last time out, though he won two starts back and again four starts back, so the form isn't poor, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 128 lb off an official 68, he is ranked last of twelve on our figures, which makes him hard to fancy.

Finley Marsh
Jim & Suzi Best 0/6
Independent Expert is winless in her last six, with back-to-back sixths most recently and a fourth three starts back her best finish, so she is hard to fancy after 43 days off. She has run over today's trip and our rating of 73 sits above her official 66, but that only ranks her tenth of 12.
