UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

UNBUTTON shades the verdict in what appears to be a competitive nursery. She has shaped encouragingly on her last couple of starts and an opening mark of 75 might be underestimating her ability. For Peat's Sake ran well enough on his debut over this trip and two subsequent 5f efforts haven't been without promise. He merits a place on the shortlist, as do Ascot third Temple Bruer and Stay Smart, who wears a tongue-tie for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Unbutton 2nd For Peats Sake 3rd Temple Bruer

BRECKLAND stepped up on a satisfactory debut performance when third in a Lingfield maiden and, with further improvement on the cards, he is fancied to play a leading role on his handicap bow. Largo Bay has a similar profile and shouldn't be too far away at the business end of the race, while Baroness Rachael, Twentysharesofgrey and Baton are others to note in a tricky contest.
Prediction : 1st Breckland 2nd Largo Bay 3rd Baroness Rachael

Last Sunset made a big impression on her debut when slamming a subsequent winner over course and distance. She appears to have a bright future and should go well under a penalty here, but giving 7lb and a beating to ISLE OF MAY, from the same ownership, is a big ask. Both of her placed efforts read well and it will be disappointing if she doesn't make it third-time lucky. Lucid Dreamer makes most appeal of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Isle Of May 2nd Last Sunset 3rd Lucid Dreamer

ICE EAGLE justified strong support in the betting market when scoring over this trip at Redcar last month and, with further improvement to come, she could follow up under a penalty. Model Guest is much more exposed, but this is only her second start for Archie Watson and she went close in a Sandown maiden 10 days ago. The red-hot Hollie Doyle is booked and she is likely to be in the mix again, while Ilalliqa and Mostly are others to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Ice Eagle 2nd Model Guest 3rd Ilalliqa

MAY SONIC appeared to benefit from the return to more positive tactics when getting back to winning ways at Windsor at the end of last month. She went up 6lb for that effort and could have more to come if ridden with similar enterprise. Last Surprise's best form has come over this distance and she is respected on her first run since February, while Split Down South can enter the reckoning having been in great form earlier in the year.
Prediction : 1st May Sonic 2nd Last Surprise 3rd Split Down South

MABRE had been knocking on the door prior to getting off the mark over C&D on his latest outing, and a 3lb rise might not be enough to stop him going in again. Glen Esk finished third in the aforementioned contest and has to be respected once again with the yard currently in excellent form. Newton Jack, a winner at Chepstow last time, and recent Windsor scorer Mykonos St John appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mabre 2nd Glen Esk 3rd Newton Jack

BURKE AND WILLS stepped forward when third on his second career start at Windsor and the booking of William Buick on his handicap bow makes him of considerable appeal. Libretti arrives in search of a hat-trick following her two handicap successes at Lingfield and Yarmouth, while Estate House is in the right hands to continue progressing after finishing third on his first start in the handicap ranks at Chepstow.
Prediction : 1st Burke And Wills 2nd Libretti 3rd Estate House

MY FRANKEL built on his debut in a strong maiden at Sandown behind Palace Pier last August to win nicely at Leicester in June. Sir Michael Stoute's colt benefited from the step up to 1m2f on that occasion and he appeals as having plenty more to offer for his patient handler. Casting Vote got off the mark at the second time of asking when making every yard of the running at Windsor, and he could pose a strong threat along with Dubai Welcome, runner-up on debut at Yarmouth in June, and Brentford Hope.
Prediction : 1st My Frankel 2nd Casting Vote 3rd Dubai Welcome

SUNSHINEANDBUBBLES landed the hat-trick a shade cosily on her most recent outing at Leicester and the mare is fancied to strike again off a 6lb higher mark. Menin Gate is of interest on his stable debut for Archie Watson having been in winning form when last seen at Newcastle in October, while the booking of Simon Walker on Double Legend makes him appeal as he is down to the mark he last won off.
Prediction : 1st Sunshineandbubbles 2nd Menin Gate 3rd Double Legend
