Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Express Train heads our ratings at 68, narrowly ahead of Tie Fighter and Nezeeh on 66, and that edge is enough to make him the pick in a wide-open Class 6 sprint at Kempton. Tie Fighter and Nezeeh are the obvious dangers, with Diamond Dreamer only four pounds behind our selection and well capable of making the frame if things pan out in his favour. The standard-to-slow surface and a 12-runner field should reward a horse with tactical speed and a clear run, and with the gaps so small this looks a race to lean on the top-rated runner rather than overthink. Express Train gets the vote, though confidence is low given how tightly packed the leading contenders are.

Nezeeh is ranked third of 12 on our rating of 66, six points clear of his official mark of 60, and he is back quickly after 12 days with experience of today's trip from stall five. The main risk is a bare recent record: he is winless in his last six, with a ninth last time out.

Callum Shepherd
Dean Ivory 0/1
Wild Act is yet to win in his last four starts, though a third three starts back shows some ability, and he has run over today's trip. Against that, he was unplaced last time, has been off for 175 days and carries 134 lb from stall six.

Express Train is yet to win in his last six starts, but a fourth last time out is his best recent effort bar a third six starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 68 tops the field of twelve, though 55 days off is a small reservation.

Paddy Bradley
Simon Dow 0/7
Our rating has him second of 12, and with 66 against an official mark of 58 he looks well treated, having already run over today's trip and on this going. The risk is a winless run in his last six, with a sixth last time out, and 44 days off.

Diamond Dreamer boasts a fourth last time out after 28 days off and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 64 ranks him fourth of 12 and sits well above his official 57. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts and carries 132 lb from stall nine.

Rossa Ryan
James Tate 2/10
Winless in her last five and slipping from a third four starts back to a sixth last time out, Preferred is hard to fancy, and 132 lb from stall 1 is no help. She has run over today's trip and is fit after 21 days, but our figures rank her ninth of twelve.

Roy Lane arrives on the up after a second last time out, though he is winless in his last five and was sixth in two of the three runs before that. He has run over today's trip, but 42 days off and 131 lb from stall 2 temper the case, even with our rating of 63 ranking him fifth of twelve.

Esplanade is hard to fancy, having finished ninth last time out and winless in her last four starts, with a sixth three starts back her best recent effort bar a fifth two starts back. She's had 41 days off, carries 127 lb from draw 10, and our rating of 47 ranks her last of 12, though a speed figure of 56 is a small positive.

Addictive has been beaten in all five recent runs, with an eighth two starts back and a seventh three starts back, though he is fresh enough after 21 days off and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 62 sits well above his official 50, but he is yet to win in that sequence.

Everydaysasaturday is winless in his last six, with a fourth last time out his best finish in that spell, and he is hard to fancy as our 11th-ranked of 12. He has run over today's trip and returns after 20 days, but 125 lb from draw 4 offers little encouragement.

Southbank has run over today's trip and going and bagged a second and a third in his last six, but he has been unplaced in his last two and is yet to win in that spell. Our rating of 60 sits above his official 49, though ranking eighth of 12 keeps him midfield from draw 8.

Stapleford Park is hard to fancy, having finished sixth in each of his last two and winless in his last six, with a seventh three starts back. He has run over today's trip and had a 28-day break, but ranking tenth of twelve on our figures says plenty.
