UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

SOUND MIXER has displayed promise on her last couple of starts in novice company and the daughter of Cable Bay may be underestimated off an opening mark of 63, especially as she may improve for the first-time application of cheekpieces. You Don't Own Me should be capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, while Gift Of Youth is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Sound Mixer 2nd You Dont Own Me 3rd Gift Of Youth

BEAT THE BREEZE has run well on both starts since returning from a 141-day break and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the son of Outstrip to get off the mark. Speed Dating is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection based on his narrow defeat at Southwell last week, while the shortlist is completed by Fair Warning and Dark Phoenix.
Prediction : 1st Beat The Breeze 2nd Speed Dating 3rd Fair Warning

In a moderate contest the clear pick is MAQBOOLA, who got off the mark at Lingfield a week ago and a 5lb rise in the ratings for that win appears to be fair. Waitaki made an encouraging debut for this yard when finishing second at Newcastle last month and she has to be of some interest. Azets edges out Caledonia Laird to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Maqboola 2nd Waitaki 3rd Azets

NOTFORALONGTIME enjoyed the step up to this trip when ending 2019 with a comfortable victory at Chelmsford and Clive Cox's Paco Boy colt rates as the one to beat here. Astroman was just over five lengths adrift in fourth on that occasion and could have improvement to come, while Zhukovsky ran much better than his finishing position suggests when sighted for the first time at Wolverhampton last month, and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Notforalongtime 2nd Astroman 3rd Zhukovsky

STANFORD appears a winner in waiting having made the podium on both outings so far and the Zoffany colt could get off the mark at the third attempt now dropping to 7f. Mountain Brave rattled the crossbar over 6f at Wolverhampton on debut and plenty more can be expected from Mark Johnston's Sepoy filly, while Bayar placed over this trip 15 days ago and can't be ignored.
Prediction : 1st Stanford 2nd Mountain Brave 3rd Bayar

ASTROMACHIA failed to justify favouritism under Jim Crowley when second behind Rainbow Dreamer over C&D last time but makes some appeal now Joe Fanning, who was on board for his preceding victory here in October, returns in the saddle. The selection hit the front plenty soon enough last time and could benefit from being held onto for longer on this occasion. Mildenberger appears a potential pace angle, while the thriving Pianissimo is respected as he bids to notch a four-timer.
Prediction : 1st Astromachia 2nd Rainbow Dreamer 3rd Pianissimo

NOBLE FOX kept on well for third off this mark over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time and could benefit from this step up in trip this evening. Break The Rules returns from a spell hurdling and appears competitively treated on her best Flat efforts last year. The main danger to the selection, however, may be Lightning Attack, who debuts for a new stable and is fairly treated on his best efforts for former handler Richard Fahey.
Prediction : 1st Noble Fox 2nd Lightning Attack 3rd Break The Rules

EMBER'S GLOW has winning C&D form in the book and has been in good order at Wolverhampton recently, following up his classified stakes victory over this trip with a respectable handicap fifth three weeks ago. Gorham's Cave is having his first run for Gary Moore, has undergone wind surgery since falling over hurdles in the spring of last year and merits a market check on his return. Picture Poet is another expected to go well.
Prediction : 1st Embers Glow 2nd Gorhams Cave 3rd Picture Poet
