Let's dive into today's race at Kempton, kicking off at 18:00 London time, where the spotlight shines on Westridge under the guidance of jockey Luke Catton and trainers J & T Gosden. This 4-year-old gelding has seen mixed results over his last outings but shows promise with a live price of 2.88, sitting comfortably in the value range. Despite a win in the past 720 days, his recent form doesn't show wins, which might raise concerns. However, his recent performance at Kempton wasn't notable either, which might be worth keeping in mind. The training duo of J & T Gosden has been performing well lately, boasting a decent strike rate, which might tip the balance in Westridge's favor. As an extra note, the combination of this jockey and trainer under recent races isn't the strongest, but they have shown some potential in longer-term stats. Moving to Afloat, this 5-year-old mare, trained by George Scott and ridden by Liam Wright, boasts a live price of 4.33, offering decent value. Afloat has a fresher winning streak, having clinched victories in recent races, which might entice those looking for a horse in form. However, her track record at Kempton isn't established, which adds a bit of a gamble if you're backing her today. While the jockey's recent strike rates aren't too shabby, combining with the trainer George Scott hasn't led to many podium finishes. Afloat's performance could be pivotal or could leave her floating mid-pack. Lastly, Trouville, another 4-year-old gelding but priced at 6 for a slightly longer shot, teams up with jockey Harry Burns and trainers S & E Crisford. This pair doesn't bring the most reassuring stats to the table, with very limited wins in recent combinations. Moreover, Trouville hasn't had significant success at this course which might concern backers looking for course form. As the horses line up, remember, anything can happen at the races! Best of luck with your picks, and always bet responsibly!
