Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Heathcliff No. 3, stall 1
Daniel Muscutt · James Fanshawe
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (2/7, 14 days)
Heathcliff heads our ratings on 103, narrowly ahead of Valvano on 101, and that edge looks worth backing in a Class 2 over 7f on the Kempton all-weather. The going is standard to slow, and he brings the best figure in a nine-runner field to the task. Valvano is the chief danger, with Cosi Bello and Brian only a few pounds behind and well capable of making it tight. Heathcliff gets the vote.
Runners
Hector Crouch
Ralph Beckett 7/34
Valvano is a leading danger, a winner three starts back who is fresh enough after 18 days off and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 101 ranks him second of nine. The main risk is a poor recent run, unplaced last time and a seventh two starts back, under 135 lb from stall seven.

Daniel Muscutt
James Fanshawe 2/7
Heathcliff has run over today's trip and on this going, and he showed solid ability with a second six starts back, though he's yet to win in his last six outings. Our top-rated runner at 103 against an official 100, he looks the one to beat from stall one.

David Probert
J. S. Moore 0/10
Brian is a leading danger, having won three starts back and been second four starts back, and he is fresh enough after 18 days, with experience of today's trip and going. The main risk is that he has been unplaced in his last two outings, so he needs to bounce back from that.

Paddy Bradley
Charlie Fellowes 1/10
Cosi Bello won four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 100 ranks him third of nine, making him a leading threat from stall four off 130 lb. The main risk is a layoff of 88 days after finishing fifth and sixth in his last two outings.

Billy Loughnane
George Scott 0/7
Second last time out and a winner three starts back, but Force And Valour returns after 264 days off and ranks last of nine on our figures, so he is hard to fancy under 130 lb from stall six. He has run over today's trip and going before, which is the main plus.

Hamad Al Jehani 0/3
Colombier won five starts back but has been unplaced last time out, with a sixth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and he returns after 31 days. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 97 ranks him sixth of nine, so he looks a midfield sort off 129 lb from stall two.

Alfie Redman (7)
Andrew Balding 11/40
Berkshire Whisper is winless in his last six, with a seventh last time out and a third six starts back the best of a fading run, though he has run over today's trip and going and comes back after 21 days. A yard in form (11 from 42 lately) and our rating of 99 against his official 91 offer some hope from draw 8.

Edward Greatrex
Ian Williams 3/29
Winless in his last five, though he has made the first three three times, including a second last time out, but a 397-day absence is a major worry and he has run over today's trip before. Ranked seventh of nine on our figures, he is hard to fancy carrying 123 lb from stall five.

Philanthropist is winless in his last six, though he's been consistent, with a fourth last time out, a third two starts back and a second three starts back. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him eighth of nine, which makes him hard to fancy from stall nine.
