UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Oisin Murphy and Robert Cowell teamed up for a winner a few miles away at Lingfield on Monday, and could combine for further success here with BECKER. Fourth on reappearance six days ago, the drop to 5f should suit, and the five-year-old might have more luck through the field this time. Big Lachie remains on a tempting mark and showed smart form when second at Wolverhampton earlier in the year, while King Robert probably prefers Chelmsford but is interesting nevertheless.
Prediction : 1st Becker 2nd Big Lachie 3rd King Robert

Mark Johnston's excellent start to the season has been well documented, especially with juveniles, and perhaps BEVERAGE can give the Middleham-based handler further reason to celebrate under Ben Curtis. Declared earlier in the week at Yarmouth, this race isn't quite as hot on paper and it wouldn't be a surprise if the Alhebayeb filly knew her job on debut. Mutahamisa cost 75,000gns as a yearling and her sire Mehmas was a high-class juvenile, while Live Stream is another newcomer to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Beverage 2nd Mutahamisa 3rd Live Stream

THEOTHERSIDE outran odds of 33-1 to make a winning debut at Newbury last September and there is no reason to believe that success was a fluke. The 7lb penalty she has to carry is a slight concern but the daughter of Dandy Man still rates as the one to beat. Its A Given also made a winning debut last season and she is an obvious threat to the selection. Starshiba is a newcomer to keep an eye on being a half-brother to Barshiba, who is the dam of the Group 1 winner Arabian Queen.
Prediction : 1st Theotherside 2nd Its A Given 3rd Starshiba

Raatea sets the standard with an official rating of 84 and he was last seen finishing second over 7f here in October. That said, a chance can be taken with SEMSER, who lacks race experience but he is bred to be above average. The son of Siyouni is a half-brother to the Musidora winner Liber Nauticus as well as the Group 2-placed Thetis. Royal Mews' price tag increased from 72,000 euros as a foal to 350,000 the following year and he is from the family of Poet. Conscious and Top Drop merit market inspections on their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Semser 2nd Raatea 3rd Royal Mews

DUBAI MIRAGE shaped with a great deal of promise on both his juvenile outings with the form of his third in the Convivial at York behind a subsequent Listed winner the standout effort in the field. The return to an artificial surface may well benefit Emaraty Hero, based on his debut performance when third at Newcastle, while Winter Thorn and Bring Him Home appear the most interesting of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Mirage 2nd Emaraty Hero 3rd Winter Thorn

TO NATHANIEL improved with each start during the winter and got off the mark here at the third attempt in January. John Gosden's colt has been given a workable mark of 84 and the cheekpieces applied last time remain on. Summit Reach won in great style at Chelmsford at the start of the year and is a key player stepping up in distance. French Asset and Cedar Cage are others capable of taking a step forward on what they have achieved to date.
Prediction : 1st To Nathaniel 2nd Summit Reach 3rd French Asset

PALAVECINO has an attractive, unexposed profile and is taken to follow up his 1m2f Lingfield success in February. A 4lb rise appears fair and he could improve again for stretching out in distance. Guroor has won three of her last four, including over 1m4f here last time, and she looks sure to run another big race, while The Corporal and Hawridge Flyer are both respected despite lengthy absences.
Prediction : 1st Palavecino 2nd Guroor 3rd The Corporal

DARK REGARD makes plenty of appeal competing from the foot of the weights. She is a typically tough filly hailing from the Mark Johnston stable and shaped as though stepping back up in trip would suit when a pleasing fourth on her comeback over 6f at Lingfield last week. Afraid Of Nothing can easily be forgiven her latest effort in Listed company at Chantilly and is one to note, with Delilah Park also likely to run well in a competitive event.
Prediction : 1st Dark Regard 2nd Afraid Of Nothing 3rd Delilah Park

UNDER CURFEW, who was a winner on his penultimate start, wasn't beaten far into second over course and distance on his return to the track last week, and Tony Carroll's four-year-old is backed to return to winning ways off the same mark. Bernie's Boy is just 2lb higher than when beaten a neck at Chelmsford in March and shouldn't be far away, while track-and-trip winner Black Isle Boy warrants plenty of consideration with Oisin Murphy booked.
Prediction : 1st Under Curfew 2nd Bernies Boy 3rd Black Isle Boy
