UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

SERAPHIM was disappointing on her latest start, when making her turf debut at Yarmouth last month, but the return to the all-weather could see Marco Botti's filly get her head in front for the first time. Sweet Nature has the assistance of Jim Crowley in the saddle and placed over C&D on her most recent outing, while Wall Of Sapphire could return to form as she drops back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Seraphim 2nd Sweet Nature 3rd Wall Of Sapphire

DUBAI WARRIOR easily accounted for some useful rivals when making a winning debut at Chelmsford in November and the son of Dansili has to be given the utmost respect, despite shouldering a penalty. Muhaarar's Nephew won a minor event at Beverley in June but he will have to improve again to beat the former. Khabeerah is the first foal out of a mare who won a Listed race and was Group 1-placed for these connections back in 2014 and the daughter of Dubawi merits consideration. Qatar Queen is another newcomer to note, being a half-sister to Barney Roy, while Rapture completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Warrior 2nd Khabeerah 3rd Qatar Queen

ESHAASY, who is a half-brother to the 2000 Guineas winner Galileo Gold, caught the eye when finishing well on his debut in what is traditionally a very strong maiden at Newmarket last month. The son of Oasis Dream is entitled to improve for that experience and it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward. Oslo has a similar profile and he should not be underestimated, while Desert Palms is another with valid form claims. Spirit Of Light is arguably the most interesting debutant, ahead of Impatient.
Prediction : 1st Eshaasy 2nd Oslo 3rd Spirit Of Light

ILLUMINED relished the step up in trip when winning by six lengths over C&D last month and that form appears to be very strong. Rewrite The Stars chased home the selection on that occasion but may not be able to reverse the form, despite a 6lb swing in the weights. Alemagna has displayed a decent level of ability in her previous starts and should be thereabouts, while Expressionism could build on her opening fifth. Baaqiah is a granddaughter of the Oaks winner Eswarah and she merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Illumined 2nd Alemagna 3rd Rewrite The Stars

THE PINTO KID benefited from the return to the all-weather when maintaining his unbeaten record here at the end of June over a furlong shorter. James Fanshawe's gelding went up 4lb for that performance and he appears to have more to offer. Frontispiece benefited from a good tactical ride at Newbury on his latest start and is capable of further improvement over this distance, while Garbanzo and Hareeq complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Pinto Kid 2nd Frontispiece 3rd Garbanzo

LAND OF OZ impressively notched the second leg of a double at Ayr last time and there is likely more to come as Sir Mark Prescott's youngster looks to complete the hat-trick. Course-and-distance winners Le Torrent and Gavlar were closely matched when second and third respectively in a bunch finish here last month and that pair should figure prominently again, while Jumping Cats and Petrastar can't be ignored either.
Prediction : 1st Land Of Oz 2nd Le Torrent 3rd Gavlar

ALICIA DARCY has won her last three starts and Archie Watson's thriving three-year-old could be the one to stick with as she steps back up in distance. Course-and-distance winner Balata Bay was second over a mile at Chepstow last time and shouldn't mind going back down in trip, while Dubrava has made the podium on all three of her all-weather appearances and Roger Varian's filly has to be respected.
Prediction : 1st Alicia Darcy 2nd Dubrava 3rd Balata Bay
