Arantes Nascimento, a horse that has come close to victory in his last three starts, is now ridden by a top-level jockey.
He tends to run aggressively. In his last outing, he was caught wide, which cost him the win by just a neck. If he manages a cleaner line today, he's the horse to watch.
Sean Levey (J): A trusted jockey from a top stable and very skilled on the turns at Chelmsford.
Michael Attwater (T): A specialist in keeping his horses in peak physical condition (7% SR).

@4.33
Win
166
Smokey Malone is a horse that knows how to wait. His gait analysis indicates that he usually stays in the midfield, preparing to make a quick move with two or three furlongs to go. His ability to sustain effort under pressure makes him very dangerous in the homestretch.
He has a Time Score of 64 and an Average Speed Rating of 72. He has the most consistent speed figures in the field over the last three weeks.
He races in Class 6, the level where he has achieved his greatest successes. He has an Official Rating (OR) of 56. He is a previous winner at this racetrack (Course & Distance winner).
He is coming off a courageous win at Southwell 21 days ago, demonstrating that the distance is ideal for him.

Good Banter AU Racing's Post Rating (RPR) is 91, which theoretically puts him close to the leaders of this race if he can replicate his best form. However, his most recent RPR was 77, reflecting a dip in his current performance.
He has a Top Speed (TS) of 70, achieved at a similar distance.
In selling races, his pace is often erratic. His record indicates that he needs a fast pace to finish strong, as he lacks the explosive top speed for tactical or slow races.
He currently runs in Class 4. He is a previous winner of a selling race at Wolverhampton (Class 5), demonstrating that this type of class is his natural habitat. However, he faces rivals such as Epictetus and Cristo, who have competed at higher levels (Class 2 and 3).

Blue Celestial is a filly who has improved with each start and is backed by an elite team. She has a Racing Post Rating (RPR) of 71. While this is lower than Felix Gem's, her learning curve is steeper. She tends to run from behind to make her move. Pace analysis suggests that if the race becomes a sprint at the finish, her agility will be key. Sean D. Bowen (j): A very reliable jockey at Chelmsford, good with tight turns.

Lose
-50
Northern Symphonie is a hold-up mare. At Wetherby, with its heavy ground, the leaders often tire in the final two furlongs. If the initial pace is strong (set by Devon Skies), Northern Symphonie will be ideally positioned to overtake tired rivals at the end.
Her Official Rating (OR) is 98, placing her on the lower end of the weight scale. This is crucial on soft ground, as she will carry significantly less weight than favorites like Devon Skies (11st, 12 lb vs. Northern's 11st, 4 lb).
She falls somewhere between Class 4 and Class 5. Although she's slightly upgrading today, her performance at Wetherby suggests she thrives under pressure. She's not a purebred mare, but rather one of heart and stamina.

Her best recent rating is an RPR of 108. She doesn't have the same high pure speed figures as the colts, but her stamina is well established.
A mid-table runner who finishes strong. Pace analysis indicates that if the favorite (Thank You Blue) sets too fast a pace, she could benefit from the other horse's fatigue.

Sixty Plus, although his last two starts were mediocre (either failing to finish or finishing far behind), posted a Topspeed of 105 in his previous wins. With Oscar Palmer's 7 lb weight reduction, his effective weight is now extremely low, giving him a pure speed advantage in the final stretch.
He's a horse that prefers a steady pace. His recent poor performances coincided with races where his pace was erratic or he was forced to fight for the lead too early.
James Owen is one of the fastest-rising trainers in 2025??"2026. He has an impressive success rate in reviving horses from other stables or from losing streaks. His success rate at Wetherby is 19%.
He's a rising apprentice; his greatest asset today is the 7 lb (3.2 kg) weight reduction. In a long-distance race, this weight relief is like giving the horse wings in the final 400 meters.

Roger Rarebit is a 9-year-old veteran enjoying a career resurgence and is perfectly suited to today's conditions. His odds are 109. He recorded a speed of 111 in one of his previous wins, the fastest in this field on soft ground. He prefers to run prominently. At Wetherby, this style is often advantageous if he can clear the first obstacles smoothly in front of the stands. Stan Sheppard (J) and Tom Lacey (T). Lacey has an excellent track record preparing horses to make a strong comeback after short breaks.

Everyonesacritic is coming off a Racing Post Rating (RPR) of 101 in his last outing, demonstrating a significant improvement over his average. He is a horse that's comfortable pressing or staying near the front. He is expected to take advantage of the soft ground to set a steady pace. He races in Class 5. Although he gained 7 pounds in the handicap after his last win, his current level appears to be above average for this class. Rider Isabel Williams and trainer Evan Williams have a solid track record on this type of technical track. His last performance (1st at Hereford 15 days ago by 9 lengths) indicates that he is at the peak of his physical condition.

The Frenchman is a player who relies heavily on his serve and power. As a big server, his matches often go to long sets or tiebreaks. In fact, he came into this tournament from two three-set battles against Fabian Marozsán and Jack Draper. If he maintains his effectiveness with his first serve, Rublev will have a hard time getting early breaks.
Although Rublev is the favorite (leading the head-to-head 3??"0), he's not dominating easily. In the previous round against Ugo Humbert, he needed three sets (6??"4, 6??"7, 6??"3) to advance, a match that comfortably exceeded 22.5 games. His intensity is high, but he sometimes has lapses in concentration that allow his opponent to stay in the game.
I think that with a score of 7??"6, 6??"4, it's very possible that these two will go over 23 games.

Lose
-50
Diamond Dealer is a versatile horse. Timeform reports indicate that, given the lack of clear front-runners in this race, Diamond Dealer could take the initiative and dictate the pace. If he manages to relax at the front, he will be very difficult to catch.
His best Topspeed (TS) is 110, recorded in his victory at Chepstow. He has an Official Rating (OR) of 117, which puts him on equal footing with the favorite, Ski Lodge, but with room for improvement since he has only run three times in a chase race.
He is comfortable in Class 4. His previous attempt in a Class 3 (Kelso) was a planning error due to the distance (4 miles), not because of the quality of his rivals. Today he returns to his natural habitat.
His first two chase races this season were decisive victories (Chepstow and Kelso). In his last race he was pulled up, but official data confirms that it was due to a lack of stamina over an extreme distance of 4 miles.

The Jets are coming into the game decimated on defense. Their star, Josh Morrissey, was injured during the Olympics with Canada and will not play tonight. Adding to this are the absences of Nino Niederreiter, Neal Pionk, and Haydn Fleury. This weakness on the blue line presents a golden opportunity for Vancouver to unleash their offense.
Unlike the Jets, the Canucks appear to be getting vital pieces back just in time. Brock Boeser, Marco Rossi, and young defenseman Zeev Buim, who were on injured reserve before the hiatus, are expected to return. Additionally, Elias Pettersson is returning from his Olympic participation, looking to lead an offense that has been struggling (1-for-21 on the power play in their last 10 games).
While the Jets' stars are coming off enormous physical and emotional exhaustion from the Olympics, the Canucks have had time to recover players like Brock Boeser, who brings the scoring instinct they so lacked in the first half of the tournament.

He's coming off a win in Wolverhampton, leading from the four-furlong mark and holding off a late attack. At Kempton, he'll try to set a strong pace to test the favorite's stamina. Billy Loughnane (J) and George Boughey (T). Loughnane is in exceptional form this winter, and Boughey's stable has a 19% win rate on this track.

Apache Green is emerging as the top pick after showing remarkable consistency in his recent starts. He typically runs in the middle of the field. Pace analysis suggests that the inside draw (the innermost position) will allow him to save ground, which is crucial in the Kempton mile if he gets a clean start. He has a Timeform rating (TFR) of 82 and an Official Rating (OR) of 66. His speed figures have been consistent, placing him in the top percentile for this Class 5 level. He's running right at his comfort level, having recently been demoted (finishing 5th but after a previous dead-heat), indicating he's ready to win. Kieran O'Neill (j) and S. Woods (t).

Here are his speed ratings and figures: RPR of 89 (achieved in Ireland).

Electrocution has a Timeform Rating (TFR) of 55. His most recent victory at Wolverhampton showed a significant improvement in his finishing ability. He benefits from a consistent pace. He is a horse that is still learning the ropes, and his running style suggests that the Kempton final stretch suits him well in maintaining his momentum. He competes in Class 6 (OR 55). He is at the upper limit of this class, but his progression indicates that he still has room to grow against his current rivals.

Private Project's best historical time is 61, achieved on her debut, but she fell to 32 in her last outing at Leicester. This indicates a marked decline in her pure speed performance.
Although her pedigree (Churchill and Kingman) suggests she should be competing at higher levels, her recent sale price (only 2,200 guineas) indicates that the market and her previous stable have lost confidence in her ability to move up the ranks.
In her last few races (under the training of Archie Watson), she showed a lack of response in the final quarter mile. She is a filly who usually competes in the middle group, but she has struggled to maintain her pace when the speed increases. A move to a Polytrack (standard to slow) course is questionable, as her best debut was on turf.

Gateau De Miel is a horse that prefers to stalk, staying just behind the leaders. RaceIQ data shows that he tends to lose fluidity in his jumping when he feels pressured in the closing stages of the race. At Wincanton, the soft ground suits him, as his best performances in Ireland have been on heavy surfaces.
He competes in Class 5 (Hunter Chase). Like Captain Tommy, this is a horse with a background in Class 2 and Class 3. On paper, he has more than enough class to dominate this field, but his recent mental and physical condition is the big question mark.
His best historical score is 121, achieved in a victory at Punchestown (Ireland). However, in his last three starts in the UK he hasn't been able to surpass a score of 95, indicating that he isn't performing close to his full potential.

Mini Mildred's best historical numbers in obstacles are RPR 116 and TS 99 (achieved in December 2025). However, in her last outing at Newbury, her score dropped drastically to an RPR of 55 due to the strength of the competition.
She is a mare who typically races keenly. In her recent performances, she has struggled to pace herself and has made mistakes on jumps when the pace is very demanding. Her profile suggests she is most effective at distances between 2m and 3m on surfaces that are not excessively heavy.
She has competed in Class 1 (Listed) in her last three outings, where she was clearly outclassed by higher-ranked horses, finishing 4th of 5 and 5th of 5. Her return to Class 4 today represents a significant step down, which should, in theory, allow her to be much more competitive.

He races in Class 4. Although his Official Rating (OR) has risen to 116, his jockey's 7-pound weight reduction keeps him highly competitive at this weight.

Leverkusen usually controls the tempo very well at home. If Olympiacos doesn't score in the first 20 minutes, the Germans will likely manage the clock to secure their passage.
Die Werkself have a clear tendency: to strike first. In 7 of their last 9 Champions League home matches, the German side has opened the scoring. Patrik Schick is in fine form after his brace in the first leg, and with Malik Tillmann ruled out at the last minute, the Czech will be the focal point of the attack from the opening whistle.

Inter will come out pressing from the first minute. Without Lautaro, the responsibility falls on Marcus Thuram and Barella's runs from deep. Bodø/Glimt will suffer for the first 20 minutes, but if they manage to survive that initial onslaught, their speed on the counter-attack is lethal.
The captain suffered a calf injury in the first leg (attributed to the cold and the artificial turf) and will not play today. It's a massive loss of goals and leadership.
Inter have kept a clean sheet in 11 of their last 15 home wins in UEFA competitions.
Although Inter have stumbled in the Champions League, their home form is phenomenal. They have won 7 of their last 8 matches in all competitions. In a "magical night" scenario, the pressure from the crowd often overwhelms teams with less international experience like Bodø/Glimt.
If Inter score in the first 15-20 minutes, San Siro will erupt and a rout is the most likely scenario. A 3-0 or 4-1 scoreline wouldn't be out of the question given Inter's need for points.

This 2025/26 season, Thuram has shown he thrives in the spotlight. He has already scored crucial goals in Serie A to keep Inter top of the table, and he knows today is the day to definitively win over the fans by leading the comeback.
Thuram is averaging almost 4 shots on target per game at San Siro this season.

Qarabag isn't traveling to Newcastle just to fulfill a formality; they're going to demonstrate why they are the most dominant team in their region and why they have been able to compete against European giants in the past.
Qarabag's biggest advantage today is psychological. After the debacle of the first leg, the pressure has disappeared. Gurban Gurbanov's team usually plays their best football when they are considered finished. Without the fear of "losing the lead," the team can loosen up and display the fluid, passing game that characterizes them.
With a 6-1 aggregate score, it's understandable that Newcastle might relax. Eddie Howe is expected to make significant rotations (key players like Anthony Gordon and Bruno Guimarães will likely be rested). If Qarabag takes advantage of the English substitutes' lack of match fitness, they can control stretches of the game.
We're going with a bit of faith at +2-25.

Both teams are tied on 47 points, sitting in mid-table (11th and 13th respectively), about four points adrift of the playoff places currently held by Wrexham.
Tonda Eckert's side is in excellent form. They are unbeaten in their last six matches (four wins and two draws). They are coming off a 1-1 draw against Charlton, where striker Ross Stewart found the net again.
They are very strong at home, having lost only one of their last 11 matches at St. Mary's.
Southampton has won their last five head-to-head encounters against QPR, including the 2-1 victory in the first leg in November.

Southampton have scored first in 6 of their last 7 matches. They tend to come out strong from the opening whistle, which helps them go into halftime with a lead.
The Saints have won their last 5 head-to-head matches against QPR. That recent dominance weighs heavily on the players' mentality.
QPR have only won 1 of their last 9 away games. They struggle to get into matches when they travel, and Southampton at home are among the teams with the most possession (top 3 in the league).

Middlesbrough vs. Leicester has a very strong sense of hope. Although Boro are the favorites, the statistics and current form of both teams make it a very smart bet for today.
Leicester have scored in their last 8 away matches. It doesn't matter if they lose; they always find the back of the net.
They have the second-worst defense in the league (53 goals conceded). They have conceded in their last 8 consecutive matches. It's almost a given that Middlesbrough (with Morgan Whittaker, their top scorer with 11 goals) will score at home today.

Enqarde is a horse that prefers to run at the front or follow closely behind (tracked leaders). He's not afraid to set the pace, but in his recent performances, he's shown a tendency to tire in the final quarter of the race. At Leicester, if he can establish a comfortable pace without pressure, he's very dangerous.
His current Official Rating (OR) is 116, but it's important to note that in his prime, he reached an OR of 138. His recent speed figures have dipped, but he still maintains a Racing Post Rating (RPR) that averages 120-125 when he finishes his races, putting him on par with the favorite, Jet Plane.
He currently races in Class 3, but he's a horse with Class 1 and 2 pedigree. He won the prestigious Tommy Whittle Handicap Chase at Haydock (Class 2) in the past. He has a theoretical class advantage over almost the entire field, except perhaps for Jet Plane's current form.
