UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Where's Tom took a step in the right direction when landing a bumper at Ascot earlier in the month and is expected to go well if taking to hurdles at the first attempt. However, with the benefit of a winning hurdles spin at Huntingdon to his name, BOOK OF INVASIONS is preferred. Namib Dancer should be all the wiser for the experience gained when runner-up at Wincanton last month and could also take a hand, while Golden Taipan is respected now eased out of Listed company.
Prediction : 1st Book Of Invasions 2nd Wheres Tom 3rd Namib Dancer

THOMAS DARBY was given a summer break after chasing home Klassical Dream in the Supreme and although he failed to justify favouritism on his fencing bow at Warwick recently, the experience gained is unlikely to have been lost on him and he rates the one to beat with a recent run under his belt. Triple hurdles winner Who Dares Wins has been kept fit on the Flat and is worth a market check on his chasing debut, while Master Tommytucker could improve for the fitting of a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Thomas Darby 2nd Who Dares Wins 3rd Master Tommytucker

With the benefit of a solid reappearance at Uttoxeter under her belt, the 140-rated CULTURE DE SIVOLA gets the verdict in an open looking heat. Papagana has been off the track since slamming her rivals by 12 lengths in a Listed mares' novices' hurdle at Doncaster in March and would be interesting if the market vibes were positive on her return. Similar comments are also applicable to impressive Newbury handicap winner Annie Mc, who has also been absent since the spring.
Prediction : 1st Culture De Sivola 2nd Papagana 3rd Annie Mc

Ballotin defied a 4lb penalty to score in hunter chase company at Southwell in May and faces a tough task at this sort of level under owner/rider David Maxwell, while What's Occurring seems to enjoy this time of year and impressed when scoring at Ludlow four weeks ago. The best line of form to follow could be that of DOCTOR DEX's narrow Ascot success against On The Slopes (second) recently. The selection was having his first start of the season there and is fancied to confirm the placings.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Dex 2nd On The Slopes 3rd Ballotin

I'D BETTER GO NOW made his opening handicap mark look lenient when landing the spoils on his first start since a wind operation at Wincanton four weeks ago and is taken to go in again. The six-year-old is open to improvement after just five starts under Rules and a 7lb rise for his latest exertions doesn't look too harsh. Pontresina has some nice recent form in the book and can go close, while Sandy Boy appeals now wearing blinkers for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Id Better Go Now 2nd Pontresina 3rd Sandy Boy

STORY OF FRIENDS has had a wind operation since he was last seen and the form of his Newton Abbot second in June was well advertised over the weekend when the winner claimed Listed honours at Haydock. David Pipe's charge previously won over hurdles and in bumper company, and clearly has enough pace for this 2m trip. Storm Rising was tanking along at Cheltenham 31 days ago before falling at the last and would be interesting if his confidence hasn't been affected, while Westbrook Bertie is also worth considering.
Prediction : 1st Story Of Friends 2nd Storm Rising 3rd Westbrook Bertie
