UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Dropping to this trip worked the oracle for ASDAA at Newcastle last week, in what turned out to be a poignant final win for the yard with Mark Johnston's name on the trainer's license. It's long been a policy for the stable to turn one out under a penalty and 4lb extra might not be enough to stop this gelding following up. Recuerdame looks a big threat on these terms, while Faithful Spirit is dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Asdaa 2nd Recuerdame 3rd Faithful Spirit

Previous C&D winner MABRE is on an attractive mark and looks worth chancing in a wide-open handicap. He races from 2lb higher than his last winning mark but that still leaves him with room to move judged on his peak form. Starry Eyes is reunited with Harry Burns after after a near-miss under the 5lb claimer at Lingfield three weeks ago and is highly respected. Storm Asset and Split Elevens are others that can go well.
Prediction : 1st Mabre 2nd Starry Eyes 3rd Storm Asset

STAR GUEST was just denied by a well-bred stablemate on her debut at Lingfield three weeks ago but is fancied to be wiser now she's got the benefit of a run under her belt. Her dam won on the all-weather in France prior to landing a couple of Group 2 races over this sort of trip, so her pedigree looks rock solid in the context of this race. Sapphire Seas, another stable companion of the selection, and Twirling also appeal as newcomers worth noting in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Star Guest 2nd Sapphire Seas 3rd Twirling

SWISS PRIDE has posted two creditable efforts in defeat of late when finishing runner-up at Lingfield and this looks a good opportunity for him to go one better. Sir Gregory is best forgiven his mishap at Southwell three days ago when left at the start and could prove the chief threat now returned to the C&D of his last success. King Of Speed makes his course debut and is another who can make his presence felt as he continues to slide down the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Swiss Pride 2nd Sir Gregory 3rd King Of Speed

Galaxy Gazer makes her handicap debut after recording a breakthrough success at the seventh time of asking at Chelmsford last month and the filly may have more to offer in this sphere. Preference, however, is for fellow last-time-out winner MOLLY VALENTINE, who proved a different proposition at Lingfield having undergone a wind procedure. Dean Ivory's inmate impressed with the way she saw out her race that day and her opening mark of 70 could prove lenient. Corinthian Kid and Hobson Point can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Molly Valentine 2nd Galaxy Gazer 3rd Corinthian Kid

SECRET POTION was only narrowly denied in a similar event over 1m4f here last time and he merits the utmost respect, despite a 2lb rise in the ratings. Far Horizon wasn't beaten far into third on his handicap bow at Chelmsford recently and he may improve for a further step up in trip. Others who make the shortlist are Crimson King and Wurlitzer.
Prediction : 1st Secret Potion 2nd Far Horizon 3rd Crimson King

Satin Snake (first) and Wizarding (second) are closely matched based on their meeting over C&D three weeks ago and it would be no surprise to see them both go well again. That said, preference is for SIR TITAN, who looked in need of the run on his return from an 80-day break last time and, as a result, the veteran arrives here on an eye-catching mark.
Prediction : 1st Sir Titan 2nd Satin Snake 3rd Wizarding

In a moderate event the marginal preference is for SICARIO, who has made the frame on his last couple of starts and is likely to go well in a race of this nature. The unexposed Cendrillon put in a career-best effort last time and is likely to be the main threat to the selection, although Chelsea Annie and Smarden Flyer should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Sicario 2nd Cendrillon 3rd Chelsea Annie
