UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

TIFFIN TOP was narrowly denied in a similar race over C&D last week and the Hereford scorer can go one better if reproducing that level of form. It could be significant that he lines up in receipt of weight from Highly Prized and Locker Room Talk and there should be more improvement to come from Alan King's inmate. Highly Prized won by a head on his hurdles debut at Wincanton and tops the list of dangers from the more experienced Nigel Twiston-Davies-trained gelding Locker Room Talk. Salazar looks up against it.
Prediction : 1st Tiffin Top 2nd Highly Prized 3rd Locker Room Talk

Warwick bumper scorer BARBADOS BLUE should make it third time lucky over hurdles. A decent second on hurdles bow at the Midlands venue, she improved for going up in trip at Taunton and was only beaten a neck, shaping as though this extra yardage would suit. Prophets Prayer, a fellow bumper winner who hasn't quite shaped with as much promise on her hurdles outings at Doncaster and Southwell, stands in her way of victory because Viking Ruby isn't in the same league.
Prediction : 1st Barbados Blue 2nd Prophets Prayer 3rd Viking Ruby

KILCARA looked well in command when striking over 2m at Warwick last week and is expected to take plenty of beating now turned out swiftly under a penalty. The main danger may be Shoal Bay, who drops back from 3m and is fitted with first-time cheekpieces on his fencing bow after running below his best over 3m at Ayr last month. Monty's Award is another chase debutant to bear in mind if the market vibes are positive.
Prediction : 1st Kilcara 2nd Shoal Bay 3rd Montys Award

Hawkerland may be able to step up on his latest effort at Fontwell now sporting first-time cheekpieces, though of more interest is SAUMUR, who found 2m an inadequate test when second at Huntingdon last time but could feasibly take a forward step now upped in trip. Former Henry Daly representative Panic And Run is worth a market check on his first start for Nigel Twiston-Davies and is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Saumur 2nd Hawkerland 3rd Panic And Run

CANNY TOM bounced back to form when finishing second at Warwick late last month and he can be expected to go one better in this weak contest. Here I Am displayed plenty of promise on his return from a short break at Fontwell recently and he could take a step forward this afternoon, while Argyle is best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Canny Tom 2nd Here I Am 3rd Argyle

TIDAL WATCH made a winning return to hurdling over C&D 18 days ago and he is hard to oppose having been raised just 3lb in the ratings for that success. Ravenous was not beaten far at all when finishing third at Fakenham last month and he could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Fairway Freddy and King Muro.
Prediction : 1st Tidal Watch 2nd Ravenous 3rd Fairway Freddy
