UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

SOAR ABOVE has a fine record here and makes plenty of appeal under a 5lb penalty following his victory last time. The step up to seven furlongs is no issue having scored over course and distance in the past and Morgan Cole's 7lb claim is an added bonus. Grey Galleon was second on that occasion and has to be respected, while track and trip winner Quick Breath wasn't beaten far when looking to follow up at Goodwood last time and has to be considered. The consistent Regimented, who has been going close of late and drops back in trip, is another for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Soar Above 2nd Quick Breath 3rd Grey Galleon

CLASSIC CHARM thrived when opening his account at Nottingham last time and with his best results so far coming over this trip, he could have plenty more to come back on the all-weather following just a 3lb rise. Course-and-distance winner Cashel is interesting following a short break and often runs well here, while Militry Decoration has been running well of late and has fallen to a dangerous-looking rating.
Prediction : 1st Classic Charm 2nd Cashel 3rd Militry Decoration

MOTAWAJ was sent off favourite on his handicap debut at Nottingham and having shown plenty of promise on that occasion, he could build on that third placed effort off the same rating. Forbidden Dance showed improvement at Newbury last time and is an interesting handicap newcomer with Oisin Murphy in the saddle, while similar applies to Richard Hannon's Eddie Cochran, who was an encouraging third at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Motawaj 2nd Forbidden Dance 3rd Eddie Cochran

EDARAAT shaped with encouragement when fifth at Nottingham on ground that probably wasn't ideal last time out, and this son of Exceed And Excel is fancied to do much better in these conditions now trying an artificial surface for the first time. Skyman put in a career-best performance when second at the same meeting albeit in a different race, while Jack D'Or continues to go in the right direction and looks up to winning one of these sooner rather than later.
Prediction : 1st Edaraat 2nd Skyman 3rd Jack DOr

ALLEZ SOPHIA took a big step forward from her debut to finish second at Bath behind a potentially smart type last month, and this daughter of Kingman looks ready to open her account for Eve Johnson Houghton. The two-year-old should be suited by this slight step up in trip and could prove too hot to handle for Hot Touch, who outran her odds to finish second on debut at Thirsk recently. Tambourine Girl has a nice profile and could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Allez Sophia 2nd Hot Touch 3rd Tambourine Girl

ATOMIC JACK returned to winning ways on his latest start at Lingfield and, now back on the all-weather, could potentially have more to offer despite a 3lb rise from the handicapper. The son of Nathaniel was a C&D winner in February and is preferred to the likes of True North, who makes his first start for 277 days, and Encryption, who can take a big step forward from his Newbury return.
Prediction : 1st Atomic Jack 2nd True North 3rd Encryption

GALILEO SILVER has clearly taken time to develop, having only had the one start as a three-year-old last June, but his efforts this campaign offer encouragement that an opening mark of 80 is workable. Victory Chime scored in first-time headgear over C&D last October and the switch from cheekpieces to blinkers may have the same effect, while Loch Ness Monster has contested some strong handicaps of late and could improve for the step up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Silver 2nd Victory Chime 3rd Loch Ness Monster

REVOLUTIONISE has improved with each run this season and got off the mark at the fifth attempt when taking a Windsor handicap on his latest start. The return to 7f is unlikely to prove any issue and he can handle a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Maid For Life made a winning start in handicaps at Wolverhampton at the end of May and appears capable of further progression, while the consistent Nefarious completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Revolutionise 2nd Maid For Life 3rd Nefarious
