UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A wide-open contest in which preference is for STARSHIBA, who drops in trip and grade following a disappointing run at Newcastle last month. Desert Boots makes his return to action following a 483-day break and has claims if ready to roll. Under Curfew has some good form to his name and also merits consideration, while Seneca Chief also makes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Starshiba 2nd Desert Boots 3rd Under Curfew

ELEGANT CHARM makes her handicap debut following a series of progressive efforts and she kept on well for fourth over this C&D last month. The Charlie Appleby-trained filly could well have more in her locker and she shades the vote at the main expense of Pending Appeal, who looks to secure a double on her return to the all-weather. Aira Force is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Charm 2nd Pending Appeal 3rd Aira Force

Hickory caught the eye when scoring on his racecourse bow at Yarmouth but he has been off the track for 792 days and has to carry a 7lb penalty for that win, so preference is for the unraced GLAM PUSS. The daughter of Paco Boy is closely related to plenty of winners and she could be the one to beat, despite lacking racecourse experience. Alchemist's Dream is also well-related and may make her presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Glam Puss 2nd Hickory 3rd Alchemists Dream

LELABAD hit the crossbar at Yarmouth last month but the son of Invincible Spirit gained compensation when successful at Chelmsford earlier this month. William Knight's charge remains unexposed on an artificial surface, so he could have more to offer and he's fancied to make light of a 3lb rise in the ratings. Fawn At Play bolted up at Ffos Las on her latest outing and appeals more than most. Bin Hayyan was gelded shortly after a below-par effort at Beverley in August and he shouldn't be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Lelabad 2nd Fawn At Play 3rd Bin Hayyan

COVERT MISSION notched up a narrow win off this mark at Lingfield in April and he's fancied carry top-weight to victory this evening. Wadacre Grace hit the frame at Chelmsford earlier this month and she ought to be thereabouts once again with a similar performance, along with Jack Sparowe, who improved when not beaten far on his handicap debut at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Covert Mission 2nd Wadacre Grace 3rd Jack Sparowe

KNIGHTSWOOD hasn't scored since notching up a quick-fire double earlier in the year but he's been competing in some top races and, with the return to an artificial surface likely to aid his chances, he should go well. Base Note ought to remain competitive along with Maytree Respite. Sea Grey looks potentially well treated on an opening mark of 82, although he does have a 10-month absence to overcome.
Prediction : 1st Knightswood 2nd Base Note 3rd Maytree Respite

A winner of three of her last four starts on the all-weather, TYPEWRITTEN can overcome a career-high mark with Richard Kingscote returning to the saddle. Largo Bay steps back up in class after scoring over C&D last month and he must be considered alongside Perfect Myth, who has undergone wind surgery since her last appearance. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Arab Cinder, Pablo Prince and Study The Stars.
Prediction : 1st Typewritten 2nd Largo Bay 3rd Perfect Myth

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between BLAZEON FIVE (first) and Stiletto (second), where the former came out on top by a comfortable two lengths. Roger Teal's filly is taken to come out on top again here despite being 4lb worse off at the weights with Stiletto. World Without Love is of interest on her first attempt at this trip, while Wannabe Brave cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Blazeon Five 2nd Stiletto 3rd World Without Love
