Kempton Placepot tips: Richard Birch with his selections for the £50,000 guaranteed pool

Shipbourne was given a quote of 33-1 for the 2,000 Guineas seconds after making an impressive winning debut at Newbury in October.

Well on top at the finish, he rates banker material in leg one (12.27) of the Kempton Placepot, which carries a guaranteed £50,000 pool.

You’ll Think Of Me ran a series of creditable races for Donnacha O’Brien before joining Kevin Philippart de Foy. The filly makes plenty of appeal on her first start in Britain in leg two (12.57).

Last-time-out winner Flash Rascal and Torbados are the selections in leg three (1.27), with Cockade and King’s Trail, newcomers from powerful yards, chosen in leg four (1.57).

Dashing Roger is extremely well handicapped and looks likely to exploit such a favourable mark at some stage in the near future. He merits consideration in leg five (2.27). Antiquity, an eye-catcher at Wolverhampton last Monday, should also go close if reproducing that run.

The unexposed I’m Workin On It appears well drawn in leg six (2.57), and can build on a recent Kempton near-miss over a furlong shorter. Beau Jardine, nicely treated nowadays, shouldn’t be far away at the finish either.
