5:00 Kempton Tips

Four career runs for the 3yo, form 0224. He has bumped into some very strong winners. He raced in a class 2 turf contest last time out on his handicap debut now running in a class 4. He ran fine at this track last Dec. Trained at the good Andrew Balding yard and you could expect some more improvement after his recent two month break.He does receive a 12lb age allowance from 11 of his 12 rivals.

​Kerry Lee's five-year-old gelding makes plenty of appeal as he returns to his preferred synthetic surface at Kempton. Kingdom Of Stars boasts an outstanding record over this track and distance, having already visited the winner's enclosure here off a similar handicap mark. While his recent efforts over hurdles and on turf were mixed, he returned to form with a solid fourth over nearly two miles at Chester in Class 4 company. Reverting to Kempton's artificial track-where his smooth, lengthening stride is best suited-provides a massive boost to his chances. With Charles Bishop taking the ride, he is handicapped to be competitive off a mark of 74 and looks primed to deliver a big performance in a race that plays entirely to his strengths.
