For today's horse racing tips, our analyst James Boyle looks at the flat racing meeting at Kempton with two selections now online.

19:00 Kempton – Sovereign Spirit – 1pt @ 8/1

Sovereign Spirit flopped at Goodwood last month but his last three runs on ground softer than good have yielded mediocrity and it’s clear he doesn’t cope with an ease underfoot. His All-Weather record is better and he comfortably won his last two starts at Lingfield earlier on in the year.

His turf efforts since include a good second at Newbury and a fourth in the Shergar Cup, and it’s pretty clear that he’s capable of being fully competitive in this field if bringing his best level to the table. The draw has been kind, Kempton should suit and 8/1+ may underrate his true chance.

 

19:30 Kempton – Priscilla’s Wish – 1pt @ 22/1

Priscilla’s Wish doesn’t have as much scope for improvement as some of these but she knows how to win races and has dropped back to the same mark as her last success in June. That came over 6f but she stays as far as a mile and is 6-19 over 7f, so the trip won’t be a problem anyway.

Her last couple of runs haven’t been too bad either, not far off second at Newmarket on her penultimate start before finishing fourth at Sandown. Neither race fully panned out for her, the pace holding up well, and she ideally needs those up top to be slowing down earlier.

This represents a drop in grade from a 0-100 into what is effectively a 0-80 and that’s a help. How suited she’ll be to Kempton, I don’t know, but her two runs on the All-Weather in 2023 have yielded a win and a second. It’s tough to be too confident but 16/1 or bigger seems a play to me.
