Three runners to note under the lights at Kempton tonight

Kempton is responsible for keeping the fire burning in the evening, with an eight-race card starting at 5.45 and shown live on Racing UK. Here we pick out three horses it should pay to follow

Island Of Life
6.15

This filly has inflicted plenty of pain on punters but she is not one to give up on as she makes her first start following wind surgery.

Sent off favourite on her last six outings, she has been running better than her one victory during that period suggests with valid excuses for some of her near-misses.

With a fast pace likely and the combination of a wind op and first-time blinkers also set to aid her quest, she can get her head back in front.

Jack Taylor
8.45

This three-year-old is capable of making an impact returning to Polytrack for the first time since winning a Deauville maiden last December.

He registered a couple of wins at Brighton this term and did not get the best of runs on his last start at Bath, he looks unexposed switching to the all-weather.

Shane Kelly takes the ride on this son of Invincible Spirit.

Lilypad
9.15

As the first foal of Vow, who won the Lingfield Oaks Trial in 2012 when the race was held on Polytrack, she has the breeding to make her mark back on the all-weather.

She made her debut here before two third-placed finishes on turf and is open to greater improvement now handicapping.

An opening mark of 65 holds no fears and she is worthy of respect with Oisin Murphy on board.
