Lua De Mel was impressive in making it two out of two at Newcastle and is likely to figure prominently again, but DANA FOREVER has been hammering on the door of late and could make her experience - as well as the 10lb she receives from Lua De Mel - count. Sir Oliver is actually rated 2lb higher than the selection but his form is a lot more hit-and-miss, while Partridge has claims on the pick of her turf form from last term.
Prediction : 1st Dana Forever 2nd Lua De Mel 3rd Sir Oliver

17:30 Kempton

Swissal (also engaged to run at Kempton on Sunday) took advantage of a falling mark to score at Chelmsford last time but he's up 3lb for that, which could scupper his claims for a follow-up win. Our Man In Havana has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and gets another chance off the same rating here, but preference is for KYLLACHY DRAGON. Mark Rimell's gelding has slipped to an attractive mark and runs off the same figure as when beaten narrowly over C&D last week.
Prediction : 1st Kyllachy Dragon 2nd Swissal 3rd Our Man In Havana

18:00 Kempton

RAJMAN has won his last two races over this C&D, including on his most recent outing. Tom Clover's colt could defy a 2lb rise for that latest success and get the better of Fly The Nest, who was beaten just half a length at Wolverhampton last time. Kodiline was a disappointment on his latest outing at Southwell, but he would have to be respected if bouncing back to the form of his Wolverhampton win two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Rajman 2nd Fly The Nest 3rd Kodiline

18:30 Kempton

Godhead was a good winner over a mile here on debut and had plenty of excuses when second at Wolverhampton last time as he was hit over the head by the winning rider's whip. John Gosden's colt could return to winning ways, but it might be worth taking him on with GOING PLACES. Roger Varian's charge was a good fourth in a decent-looking novice race on the July Course in June and could be a major player if returning in the same mood. Mooteram is booked for third judged by his poor form to date.
Prediction : 1st Going Places 2nd Godhead 3rd Mooteram

19:00 Kempton

Lord P has been thoroughly progressive in two recent outings, following up a Southwell success with victory over 6f here, while Malmesbury Avenue flourished on his handicap debut and first run on the all-weather when successful here last time. Inevitable Outcome was another 6f winner at this track and has claims, but OLIVERS PURSUIT missed out by a short head on his handicap bow over C&D and a 2lb rise might not be enough to stop him.
Prediction : 1st Olivers Pursuit 2nd Lord P 3rd Inevitable Outcome

19:30 Kempton

VIBRANCE made it a hat-trick of successes over this track and trip when scoring with a bit up her sleeve last time and James Fanshawe's filly could still remain ahead of the handicapper despite a third 5lb rise. Affluence has also been raised 5lb after winning at Chelmsford, while the handicapper may have been generous in only giving Mouriyani a 2lb hike for his narrow victory at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Vibrance 2nd Affluence 3rd Mouriyani

20:00 Kempton

PROMPTING was a shade disappointing when sent off favourite at Lingfield last time, but it's far too soon to be writing him off and he can challenge for honours here, on what is only his second start in handicaps. Agent Of Fortune made it three wins from four outings when running on well to score at Lingfield but he is 7lb higher in this, while Qatar Queen and Dawry also have claims on recent form.
Prediction : 1st Prompting 2nd Agent Of Fortune 3rd Qatar Queen

20:30 Kempton

EMBER'S GLOW has been a model of consistency over this trip at Wolverhampton and this venue so far this year and can gain just reward for those efforts with a win in this. Kerrera has shown up well in a trio of 10-furlong races at Chelmsford of late and could get involved, while Cinzento drops in trip after not quite seeing out an extended 1m5f at Chelmsford last time.
Prediction : 1st Embers Glow 2nd Kerrera 3rd Cinzento
