UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A first-time tongue-tie could see MR INSPIRATION build on a promising second on his racecourse bow over 1m1f at Wolverhampton in December. He is fairly well related and is fancied to shed his maiden tag in this for powerful connections, but Polemon boasts more track experience than the selection and can give him plenty to think about. Vienna Girl also warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Mr Inspiration 2nd Polemon 3rd Vienna Girl

Hannah's Return disappointed in a race of this nature at Southwell last month, but has proven to be capable of better on previous outings and is fancied to improve in this. However, ELEGANT ELLEN secured a facile victory on her most recent outing over this C&D and may prove tough to beat with that in mind. Forbearing kept on well for third at Southwell last time and could also make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Elegant Ellen 2nd Hannahs Return 3rd Forbearing

SANDY PARADISE kept on well to land his most recent outing over 1m at this course and could be worth taking a chance on dropping in trip. He has gone up 5lb for that success, but connections have now enlisted cheekpieces and he would be dangerous to dismiss. Sisters In The Sky was a game winner on his most recent run over C&D and may be thereabouts, especially given Frederick Larson's 3lb claim negates much of the gelding's 5lb rise for that victory. Ring Of Gold is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Paradise 2nd Sisters In The Sky 3rd Ring Of Gold

Outrace struck over C&D earlier this month and, though he demands respect, this is arguably tougher against a host of potential improvers. With that in mind, a chance is taken on PACO'S PRIDE. Roger Varian's filly posted a trio of creditable efforts over 7f in her qualifying runs and the daughter of Roaring Lion looks sure to progress now sent over further. Bernadine and Greavsie are likely to be in the thick of things too.
Prediction : 1st Pacos Pride 2nd Outrace 3rd Bernadine

ROOFUL looked on good terms with herself when scoring here last month and Eve Johnson-Houghton's charge, who has been progressive on an artificial surface, could have what it takes to deal with a 12lb rise in the handicap. Golden Mayflower was narrowly denied at Lingfield on her latest outing and she's fancied to throw down another stern challenge, while Third Batch could be capable of better now pitched into handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Rooful 2nd Golden Mayflower 3rd Third Batch

Earl Of Tyrone makes his first start for William Haggas and looks interesting, after finishing third in the Ebor last year, but he needs to prove he is as effective on the all-weather. BERKSHIRE ROCCO is the selection, after beating the reopposing Rainbow Dreamer (second), Earlofthecotswolds (third) and Solent Gateway (fifth) last time at Southwell. He looked a comfortable enough winner that day to suggest he can go in again. Sleeping Lion won this race last year and is returning from a break after a disappointing show at Newcastle when last seen, but he would be dangerous to dismiss if back on song.
Prediction : 1st Berkshire Rocco 2nd Earl Of Tyrone 3rd Sleeping Lion

BELLA COLOROSSA had subsequent winner Big Jimbo (third) behind her when a close second over this C&D last month and is taken to confirm that form, with the help of her being 5lb better off with that rival now. She was just held in the closing stages that day and is fancied to go one place better today. Stranger Things was stopped in her run 1f out last time at Wolverhampton, she would have finished closer there and could have a say in proceedings with a clearer run.
Prediction : 1st Bella Colorossa 2nd Big Jimbo 3rd Stranger Things
