UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

SUCELLUS had a subsequent winner back in third when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton in December and that form suggests that he is the one to beat, despite having to carry a penalty. Living Legend is an obvious threat having got his head in front at Lingfield as a juvenile, while Sawasdee is entitled to improve for his first race experience. Island Jungle is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sucellus 2nd Living Legend 3rd Sawasdee

MATTERHORN only made his debut in October but the son of Raven's Pass has rapidly progressed into a high-class performer on the all-weather. Mark Johnston's colt was an easy five-length winner in a handicap over C&D off a mark of 107 last time out and that form has been boosted by the second winning twice since. If he can run to that level today then he will be really hard to beat. Mootasadir is another that has progressed well on the all-weather and he should be in the mix, while Fabricate won this race 12 months ago but his lack of a recent run is a concern given that his main rivals are race fit. Big Country and Extra Elusive are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Matterhorn 2nd Mootasadir 3rd Fabricate

Alwasmiya has been off the track since landing a Listed sprint at HQ in 2017 and is worth a market check on her belated return, though she does have a wide draw to overcome. It might be worth siding with SOLDIER'S MINUTE, who bolted up over C&D on his first start since being gelded and remains open to improvement in this sphere on his second all-weather outing. Aeolus is respected on his debut for Ruth Carr, while Desert Doctor appeared to win with something in hand at Wolverhampton and could feasibly defy a 3lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Soldiers Minute 2nd Alwasmiya 3rd Aeolus

KELLY'S DINO was having his first start since August when picking up the silver medal at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. That outing may have brought him on and he's expected to give a good account from a low draw. Fire Fighting rattled the crossbar at Lingfield recently and has place possibilities, though a bigger danger may be Count Calabash, who slammed Caspar The Cub by six lengths over 1m4f here last month. Forbidden Planet bumped into the thriving Executive Force (has won twice since) when second at Chelmsford last time and likely has more to offer, likewise returning Ed Vaughan representative Desert Wind, who is unexposed beyond 1m2f.
Prediction : 1st Kellys Dino 2nd Count Calabash 3rd Forbidden Planet

Chatham House arguably sets the standard with an official rating of 81 but he had quite a few chances as a juvenile and he can be taken on with EARDLEY ROAD. The son of No Nay Never was an impressive winner on his debut over 6f here late last month and he is fully entitled to improve for that experience. Daarik took a big step forward on his second start when winning at Newcastle in November and may have more to offer this afternoon. Global Warning is another with valid form claims, while Desire For Freedom and George Formby are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Eardley Road 2nd Daarik 3rd Chatham House

WELCOMING improved throughout her juvenile campaign, signing off the year with an impressive novice stakes victory at Haydock, and she looks potentially a fair bit better than this opening mark of 81. Solar Park has impressively notched a Wolverhampton/Newcastle double and warrants plenty of respect going off in search of the hat-trick, while first-time gelding Ginger Fox is an interesting contender on his first outing for the shrewd Ian Williams stable.
Prediction : 1st Welcoming 2nd Solar Park 3rd Ginger Fox

ILHABELA FACT will arrive full of confidence following a couple of course victories last month and, although a further 6lb rise will obviously make life a lot tougher, he could take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Nylon Speed has won two of his last four, the latest success coming over this track and trip, and he looks sure to be in the shake-up again, while Glan Y Gors is another in-form player with claims.
Prediction : 1st Ilhabela Fact 2nd Nylon Speed 3rd Glan Y Gors
