Kempton Placepot tips: Graeme Rodway with his selections for a £100,000 guaranteed pool

The Tote are putting up their £100,000 guarantee at Kempton, so let's play the Placepot there.

Lion's Dream will be a warm order for the mile apprentice handicap (3.05) under red-hot Billy Loughnane but might be vulnerable to the bounce just 18 days after a good return from a winter break. Poetic Force is still useful at the age of nine and Gorak rates the alternative.

Relentless Voyager rates banker material in the 1m4f maiden (3.35) with the step up in trip promising to suit, while the 7f handicap (4.05) is between Beauen Arrows and Libra Tiger.

The 6f handicap (4.35) is a rematch between last-time-out Lingfield first and second Celtic Champion and Danger Alert. William Buick is here for one ride so go with his Danger Alert.

The 2m handicap (5.05) looks like another good opportunity for a banker because Blazeon Five has an outstanding chance of winning. She is consistent and can be relied on. 

The 6f handicap (5.35) is more open, so it's worth having a couple on side. Dark Side Thunder was successful on his last course-and-distance start so put him in with Lilkian.
