UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

BOUCLE hasn't show much in three starts over 7f, but Ed Bethell's filly could relish this step up in trip and, in a moderate contest, she is fancied to open her account. Al Ghanim finished a good fourth in handicap company on his latest outing and he ought to be suited by the drop into a classified event, while Me And Mrs Jones, who was far from disgraced in a similar contest last time out, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Boucle 2nd Al Ghanim 3rd Me And Mrs Jones

Harry Magnus sets the standard with an official rating of 80 and is likely to be in the thick of things, but a chance is taken on ONIGHT. Archie Watson often does well with his debutants on the all-weather and this son of Oasis Dream, a 140,000gns purchase, could make an instant impact in the capable hands of Tom Marquand. Andrew Balding's string often improve for their initial racecourse experience and that might be the case with Desert Cop, who posted a creditable effort on his debut earlier this month.
Prediction : 1st Onight 2nd Harry Magnus 3rd Desert Cop

HE'S OUR STAR was well supported at big prices prior to his recent Wolverhampton success and he remains well treated, despite a subsequent 3lb rise in the ratings. Tony Carroll's gelding is fancied to repeat the dose, possibly at the main expense of Bawaader, who arrives in search of a hat-trick having notched up a brace of classified victories earlier this month. Global Style is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Hes Our Star 2nd Bawaader 3rd Global Style

Sofia Cat hasn't been disgraced in her three novice runs and may prove more competitive now entering handicaps, off what looks a fair opening mark of 67. A chance, though, is taken on CONFEDERATION, who has been shaping as if she would appreciate this return to a right-handed course and is now 7lb lower than her C&D fifth in November. More Than A Grey is another who is making his bow in this sphere and can't be dismissed if bouncing back to the form that saw him place at Newbury in July.
Prediction : 1st Confederation 2nd Sofia Cat 3rd More Than A Grey

DARK TROOPER came good at the second of asking in handicaps when benefiting from a step up to 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and, with that form working out well, he looks leniently treated off just 2lb higher. Fellow last-time-out winner Dyed In The Wool could turn out to be the chief threat if proving as effective on this switch to the Polytrack, ahead of Prince Nabeel, who has improved with each run since having his first start for John Ryan in November.
Prediction : 1st Dark Trooper 2nd Dyed In The Wool 3rd Prince Nabeel

A taking winner at Chelmsford last time out over this distance, MILITARY TWO STEP can follow up here and make it three victories from his last four starts. That may be at the main expense of the capable Smart Champion, who won over C&D on his penultimate outing, and recent hurdles winner Grandee. Royaume Uni is a player based on the pick of his form as well.
Prediction : 1st Military Two Step 2nd Smart Champion 3rd Grandee

SOLANNA was always on top when scoring over C&D last time out and a 4lb rise for that win may not be enough to stop him from going in again. Similar comments apply to Cowboy, who also won over C&D recently, though the form of the selection's race looks arguably stronger. Narrowly denied at Lingfield, Anisoptera is another to note along with Franco Grasso.
Prediction : 1st Solanna 2nd Cowboy 3rd Anisoptera
