Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Insuspense gets the nod on our figures, sharing the top rating of 70 with Lazzar in a Class 6 sprint where the gap down to the rest of the field is modest and nothing else stands out. Lazzar is the obvious danger on level terms, while Marianne Mozart is only three pounds behind and Balon d'Or six adrift, so this looks tight rather than straightforward at Kempton. With the going described as standard to slow on the all-weather over six furlongs, Insuspense is narrowly the pick of a competitive bunch. Insuspense is the selection.

Fit after just 16 days, Marianne Mozart was a fifth last time out and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 67 ranks her third of 11 from stall 2. The risk is that she's yet to win in her last five starts and carries 138 lb.

Insuspense arrives fit after 22 days, a winner two starts back and a third the run before that, and she has experience of both today's trip and the going. A fifth last time out is the main reservation, while our rating of 70 makes her the one to beat from draw 7.

Charlie Wallis 0/2
Lazzar is a consistent sort, finishing fourth last time out and a second six starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with our rating of 70 ranking him second of 11. The main risk is that he is yet to win in his last six starts and carries 134 lb from draw 8.

Quick back-up after 13 days and a winner four starts back, Balon d'Or has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 64 ranks him fourth of 11, 5 lb above his official 59; the risk is a recent slide, with an unplaced run last time and a ninth two starts back.

King Cherry showed up well with a third last time out, and he's quick back after 11 days, having also won three starts back. Against that, he's been unplaced in two of his other recent runs, and a speed rating of 53 and 131 lb from stall 11 leave him a midfield sort.

Winless in his last six, Marra Donna was a ninth last time out after a third two starts back, but he has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 62 ranks him fifth of 11. Off an official mark of 56 and carrying 128 lb from draw 4, he looks a solid midfield type rather than a standout.

Ian Williams 1/23
Shielas Well is yet to win but finished third last time out and third two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, a 176-day absence and a yard with just 1 from 23 lately temper the appeal from stall 10.

Shining Guest is winless in her last five, with a sixth last time out and 57 days off since, and a seventh, a fifth and another sixth in that spell make her hard to fancy. A second two starts back and experience over today's trip are the positives, though she is ranked last of 11 on our figures.

Shaws Phoenix is hard to fancy: she is winless in her last five, finishing seventh last time out and now returning from a 118-day break, with a trainer who is 2/40 in the last fortnight. On the plus side, she has run over today's trip and going, and her 52 figure is a few pounds above her mark of 48.

Lion Ring was third last time out and again two starts back, but he is winless in his last six and returns after 132 days off, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks him tenth of eleven.
