UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

TOUCHWOOD returned to form when finishing second over 7f at Leicester last Tuesday in first-time cheekpieces and the four-year-old might improve on that display, especially with the headgear being changed to blinkers. Mistrix enters calculations based on her runner-up effort over this trip at Newcastle last month, while Brunel Charm and Melodramatica are both capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Touchwood 2nd Mistrix 3rd Brunel Charm

MORALISA ran with a fair amount of promise when runner-up behind a rival with race experience at Newcastle and the daughter of Jungle Cat boasts strong credentials in her bid to go one better. Berkshire Cruz makes plenty of appeal being a full-brother to the Nunthorpe heroine Margot Did and he commands respect along with Due Date, who is a half-brother to Listed winner Harry Three, and Concorde.
Prediction : 1st Moralisa 2nd Berkshire Cruz 3rd Due Date

HELLO DEIRA needed every yard of the distance to get off the mark over 7f at Redcar on his nursery debut and the extra furlong on this occasion appears highly likely to bring about further progression. Maximilian Caesar finished second at Doncaster's St Leger meeting and he has to be of interest, despite a 2lb rise from the handicapper. Fariba and Ludo's Landing complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hello Deira 2nd Maximilian Caesar 3rd Fariba

George Morland arrives here on a hat-trick and merits a lot of consideration despite stepping up in class, but preference is for the unexposed JADE COUNTRY. Eve Johnson Houghton's charge was denied by a nose on his most recent start at Windsor and he looks capable of being in the mix here. Love Dreams scored over this C&D last month and is another to note off a 3lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Jade Country 2nd George Morland 3rd Love Dreams

Out From Under is unexposed at 6f and the first-time application of cheekpieces could see him have a say in proceedings. Nonetheless, TOTAL COMMITMENT kept on well for second at Chelmsford earlier this month and has claims if building on that on his return to this track. Intervention also merits respect following a creditable run in the Ayr Bronze Cup and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Total Commitment 2nd Out From Under 3rd Intervention

A case can be made for several of these, including Brazen Diamond, who was just denied victory on her most recent start over 7f. She is entitled to bounce back having recorded a good victory over 6f in August, although BOBBY ON THE BEAT was a good third at Chelmsford last month. He retains the mark from that run and can go well again, while Alfred Cove is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bobby On The Beat 2nd Brazen Diamond 3rd Alfred Cove

JUNGLE RUN is effective on a Polytrack surface and the handicapper is cutting him some slack just now. The three-year-old is one to take very seriously on his debut run for his new trainer. Suanni has been expensive to follow on occasions but can go well at this level, while Oasis Gift might also find more now he's tried with first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Run 2nd Suanni 3rd Oasis Gift

Monaadhil won with a bit in hand at Chelmsford on Saturday and needs to be taken seriously under a 4lb penalty, while Clashaniska is holding his form well and looks worth another try at this trip. However, preference is for MAGICINTHEMAKING, who has slipped to a mark 1lb below when he won over C&D in March and hinted his turn was near again with a good second over 6f here a week ago.
Prediction : 1st Magicinthemaking 2nd Monaadhil 3rd Clashaniska
