Kempton Placepot tips: Graeme Rodway's selections for a £100,000 guaranteed pool

The Tote are putting up their £100,000 guarantee at Kempton so the Placepot appeals there.

There are nine declared for the opening mile handicap (5.30) and Burnish rates a banker provided three places are available. He can bounce back from a poor run on his last start.

Naaser looked like a smart performer in the making when bolting up at Lingfield last time and William Buick is booked. It’s worth banking on George Boughey's gelding in the 7f novice event (6.00).

The following 6f novice (6.30) is another interesting contest and a tough one to negotiate. Likely favourite Alpha Zulu is included, but it’s also worth putting in McCauley’s Tavern.

Only seven are declared for the 7f handicap (7.00) so we'll go with two again. Berkshire Phantom has more to offer in a first-time visor, while Gulmarg is no forlorn hope at a decent price.

First Folio is one of my best bets of the day and rates a banker in the 7f handicap (7.30) provided at least eight run. Novel Legend and Hydroplane appeal in the 2m handicap (8.00).
