UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

WALLOP brings some smart juvenile form to the table, perhaps most notably when finishing a creditable fifth in the Mill Reef at Newbury. The Harry Angel colt will be tough to beat if returning to the fray in similar form and he's expected to open his account at the fourth time of asking. William Haggas has his string in fine order and his representative Never This Way is worth a second look in the betting ahead of his debut. Others to note include Almaty Star and Exorbitant.
Prediction : 1st Wallop 2nd Never This Way 3rd Almaty Star

Wildfell appeared to relish a step up to this trip when winning at Lingfield on his first outing as a gelding and debut for Peter Chapple-Hyam. He merits the utmost respect off 7lb higher, but a chance is taken on BAILAR CONTIGO. Stuart Williams' filly was an eyecatcher over 5f here in February and appeals as the type to progress now upped in distance for her handicap debut. A half-sister to the smart Desert Angel, she's likely to prove far better than an opening mark of 54. Archie Watson enlists the services of Oisin Murphy for Gypsy Nation, who tries first-time cheekpieces, and she enters calculations despite her wide berth.
Prediction : 1st Bailar Contigo 2nd Wildfell 3rd Gypsy Nation

Andrew Balding's string often improve for their initial racecourse experience, but it might still pay to side with his newcomer ALSAKIB. The well-bred son of Kingman is related to a host of smart types, including Group 2-winning half-sister Nyaleti, who made a successful debut. If anywhere near that level, the in-form Kingsclere team might find themselves in the winner's enclosure once again. Newcastle scorer Onight must be respected under a penalty, while others to note include Halla Dubai and Buccabay.
Prediction : 1st Alsakib 2nd Onight 3rd Halla Dubai

Pinwheel could outrun a generous price with the benefit of the two stall and is one to consider for the places at least, but it is hard to see him getting the better of SWEET MIST for a stable whose horses are in good heart. A winner and a close-up third at Wolverhampton on her last two starts, the booking of Oisin Murphy to ride catches the eye and he may steer the daughter of Tonalist to the front when needed. Los Camachos and Strike are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Mist 2nd Pinwheel 3rd Los Camachos

A small but select field is headed by Tagabawa, who represents the Charlie Appleby/William Buick combination that won this last year with Wild Crusade. Gelded after a third here on his second start, he is one to consider but preference is still for MAASAI MARA, who may hold a fitness edge after winning here over a furlong shorter in March. His stamina is not in doubt unlike some, and that may be all he needs. Imaginary World justified favouritism at Chelmsford and is another with a bright future.
Prediction : 1st Maasai Mara 2nd Tagabawa 3rd Imaginary World

It will be interesting to see how Sagano gets on on his first start since leaving France, with his wins including a success on the all-weather at Deauville. The Stoute horses are out earlier than normal this season, making Assessment of interest after being gelded, but a chance is taken on DISCRETION. The daughter of Dubawi won two on the bounce in late spring last year and ought to find this far easier than when last seen in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot.
Prediction : 1st Discretion 2nd Sagano 3rd Assessment

GONE regained the winning thread on her seasonal debut over 7f at Lingfield and she looks open to more improvement now up to 1m off only 2lb higher. Perfect Gentleman's stamina appeared stretched by 1m4f when turned over at odds-on here in February and he isn't taken lightly now returned to this distance, with top apprentice Billy Loughnane booked to ride. Last-time-out Lingfield winner Gwendolina also likely has more to offer and she should remain competitive.
Prediction : 1st Gone 2nd Perfect Gentleman 3rd Gwendolina
