Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Henley On Thames is our selection here, and his progressive profile makes him the one to side with in this Kempton six-furlong event. He is rated 93 on our figures, only a few pounds behind the top-rated Pure Mint on 98, and that gap looks very bridgeable for a horse still on an upward curve. Pure Mint and Sovereign Glory (97) are the clear dangers on figures, while Treasurer (92) sits right alongside our pick and cannot be dismissed. The remaining four are rated 83 or lower and look to have a fair bit to find, so Henley On Thames is the selection.

Simon Crisford 1/7
Pure Mint arrives in fine order after a second last time out, with a win three starts back, and he has run over today's trip after 27 days off. Our rating has him top of the eight, but 137 lb is the main risk after a sixth two starts back.

Finley Marsh
Richard Hughes 3/20
Won two of his last three starts, taking the win two starts back and another three starts back, but he was unplaced last time out, and he has run over today's trip. Sitting sixth of eight on our rating of 83 against an official 85 while carrying 135 lb from draw 3 suggests a modest ceiling.

David Probert
Charlie Fellowes 1/7
Treasurer won three starts back and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 92 ranks him fourth of eight, so he's a leading danger from stall five off 135 lb. The risk is clear: he has finished eighth and seventh in his last two outings and returns after 45 days off.

Jason Watson
Charles Hills 3/15
Sovereign Glory won five starts back and was a fourth three starts back, but he has been unplaced in his last two outings and returns after 48 days; he has run over today's trip, and our rating of 97 ranks him second of eight, though the recent slump is the worry.

David Egan
Kevin Philippart de Foy 2/17
Henley On Thames arrives with a fourth last time out, after back-to-back wins two and three starts back, and has finished in the first two in four of his last six. He has run over today's trip, though 47 days off is a mild reservation, and our rating of 93 backs the case.

Callum Hutchinson
John Butler 2/18
Ranked seventh of eight on our figures, Conciliate is hard to fancy despite a second last time out, as an unplaced run since his win three starts back shows inconsistency. He has run over today's trip and drops in from 41 days off, but 130 lb from draw 2 looks a lot to ask.

Marco Ghiani
Ed Dunlop 0/18
Lord Ragnar was a seventh last time out after a second two starts back, and the colt has a win five starts back among a consistent recent set, though 45 days off is a concern. He has run over today's trip and going, carries 127 lb from stall seven, and our rating of 83 puts him fifth of eight.

Jack Callan
George Boughey 6/29
Arthur Carrot is yet to win in his last four starts, though he was second last time out, and a third two starts back keeps the form respectable. He has run over today's trip and is back quickly after seven days, but our figures rank him last of eight, with a modest speed figure of 67.
