UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

MISTER X shed the maiden tag on his handicap debut at Brighton when benefiting from a drop back in trip and a 4lb rise might not be enough to stop him from taking another step forward. Made Of Lir was third behind the selection in the aforementioned contest and has since franked the form by getting off the mark at Chelmsford and she enters calculations once again, while Beauld As Brass is feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mister X 2nd Made Of Lir 3rd Beauld As Brass

PASPALEY has displayed a fair level of form in two outings to date and the return to the all-weather, on which he finished third on debut at Newcastle, might see the son of Brazen Beau off the mark. Eurythmical could bounce back from her second outing at Yarmouth having filled the runner-up spot at Lingfield on her first start. Primrose Ridge will find this an easier task than the Two Year Old Trophy at Redcar and she is of interest along with Hill Cove.
Prediction : 1st Paspaley 2nd Eurythmical 3rd Primrose Ridge

Blue Universe arguably sets the form standard based on his two outings to date and the son of Iffraaj commands plenty of respect. That said, a chance is taken with DIVINE LIBRA. A 75,000gns purchase at Tattersalls Book 1, Charlie Hills' colt is related to several decent performers, including his half-sister, who was placed at Listed level, and the yard are currently enjoying a fine spell with their juveniles. Lion Guard and Mindthegap are other newcomers who warrant a second look in the market.
Prediction : 1st Divine Libra 2nd Blue Universe 3rd Lion Guard

Narrowly denied on her latest outing, LADY DREAMER is fancied to make amends and go one better. The winner that day wasn't beaten far in the Oh So Sharp at Newmarket earlier this month, and Tom Ward's charge could prove difficult to beat judged on that piece of form. Warren Hill is related to some smart types and is of appeal on her debut, along with Godolphin's Sunset Point. Rowayeh is another to note, though connections are quick to employ a hood and that may be a slight concern.
Prediction : 1st Lady Dreamer 2nd Warren Hill 3rd Sunset Point

Archie Watson does particularly well with his juveniles on the all-weather and he might taste more success with STAR CHILD. The daughter of Gleneagles should appreciate an artificial surface, being closely related to Sanitiser, who performed well on the synthetics. Other notable contenders include Hey Lyla, Whispering Dream and Coppice, though Aesthetic wouldn't be out of this if taking a step forward on her debut effort.
Prediction : 1st Star Child 2nd Hey Lyla 3rd Whispering Dream

MOUNT ATHOS bolted up at Thirsk in June and he is fancied to make a winning handicap debut. The runner-up has since been successful from a mark of 79, so James Tate's charge doesn't look to be overburdened off 84. Odisseo was narrowly denied at Chelmsford earlier this month and is likely to be in the thick of things once more along with Counsel.
Prediction : 1st Mount Athos 2nd Odisseo 3rd Counsel

APHELIOS has filled second place in all three starts since winning at Carlisle in August and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the consistent gelding to go one better. The Lamplighter was only narrowly denied in a valuable event at Goodwood when last seen in July and he has to be of some interest on his return. Others to note are Treacherous and Antiphon.
Prediction : 1st Aphelios 2nd The Lamplighter 3rd Treacherous

JUMIRA BRIDGE returned to winning ways in a similar event at Chelmsford 11 days ago and that form gives him a big chance today. The in-form Griggy chased home the selection on that occasion but could have to settle for the same result, despite a 2lb swing in the weights. Louis Treize edges out Lothian and Bluebird to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jumira Bridge 2nd Griggy 3rd Louis Treize
