UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

FIDELIO VALLIS impressed when romping to a 12-length victory at Wincanton last month there should be plenty more to come from Paul Nicholls' charge, who could appreciate this flat track and sounder surface. Course-and-distance winner Golden Taipan has both the experience and form in the book to get involved here, with Manvers House also of interest having got closest to Supreme third Chantry House at Newbury last time.
Prediction : 1st Fidelio Vallis 2nd Manvers House 3rd Golden Taipan

ON THE SLOPES impressed when scoring over 2m2f here last month and, having finished third behind Festival scorers Simply The Betts and Imperial Aura at Cheltenham before that, he looks the one to side with once again. Return Ticket finished second off this mark at Catterick and is interesting dropping back to the minimum distance, while Dr Sanderson is another reverting to two miles following a respectable effort at Ludlow.
Prediction : 1st On The Slopes 2nd Return Ticket 3rd Dr Sanderson

MCFABULOUS is a Grade 2 bumper winner and could have a fantastic chance in this off a mark of 132 having opened his hurdles account at Market Rasen last month, beating the reopposing Hometown Boy by the best part of four lengths. Nicky Henderson has a strong hand with Ascot winner Falco Blitz, Igor and Keen On, while Sevarano is interesting in a first-time visor and has run with credit in some top novice events this season. Fergal O'Brien's pair of Hurricane Harvey and Thegallantway are respected, with Eden Du Houx also noted.
Prediction : 1st Mcfabulous 2nd Sevarano 3rd Eden Du Houx

Downtown Getaway was successful over C&D three weeks ago and he has to be respected once again, despite a 5lb rise in the ratings. That said, preference is for TAMAROC DU MATHAN, who remains unexposed and he put in a career best when filling fifth place in the Betfair Hurdle last month. A 3lb rise for that performance is very fair given that he was not beaten far at all and he may still have more improvement to come. The shortlist is completed by Our Power, Bullionaire and The Butcher Said.
Prediction : 1st Tamaroc Du Mathan 2nd Downtown Getaway 3rd Bullionaire

SENSULANO bumped into a useful rival when finishing second in a Grade 2 hurdle at Ascot last time and that followed two impressive victories over fences. A mark of 138 appears to be fair for the daughter of Milan and she should not be underestimated. Garde La Victoire put in an encouraging effort at Cheltenham in January and that form gives him a decent shout. Others to note are Drumconnor Lad, Mercy Mercy Me and Almazhar Garde.
Prediction : 1st Sensulano 2nd Garde La Victoire 3rd Drumconnor Lad

FAROUK DE CHENEAU is worth monitoring in the betting on his first outing for Nicky Henderson as he struck over hurdles on his final start for previous connections in France and is expected to be well forward for this reappearance. On To Victory makes some appeal on his C&D second last month and can fight it out with the consistent Flic Ou Voyou for the minor money.
Prediction : 1st Farouk De Cheneau 2nd On To Victory 3rd Flic Ou Voyou

ULTIMATUM DU ROY romped home by 18 lengths over this trip at Market Rasen latest and should remain competitive, despite an 8lb rise in the ratings. Others to bear in mind are Everlanes, who was sent off favourite off this mark at Leicester last month, and Kilbrew Boy, who unseated his rider at Doncaster last time but is a potential improver now sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Ultimatum Du Roy 2nd Everlanes 3rd Kilbrew Boy

SABRINA took a step forward when scoring by 13 lengths in a mares' bumper at Ascot last month and is expected to progress again in the care of Paul Nicholls. Coquelicot arrives on a hat-trick, having backed up her Taunton victory with a 2m success at Huntingdon latest, and is the one expected to put up most resistance. Step To The Top, who is steadily improving with experience, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Sabrina 2nd Coquelicot 3rd Step To The Top
