UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Father Of Jazz failed to fire on two subsequent appearances since posting an encouraging hurdling debut at Huntingdon in December and he may be worth taking on having left the Dan Skelton yard. Moonshine Spirit wasn't disgraced on his first appearance over timber when finishing fourth at Chepstow in February and he warrants consideration. The vote, however, goes to Nicky Henderson's IOLAOS DU MOU, who faced a stiff task when carrying a penalty in a bumper here last time but he looks to have a great chance first time over obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Iolaos Du Mou 2nd Moonshine Spirit 3rd Father Of Jazz

TELHIMLISTEN escapes a penalty having won a conditional jockeys' event over fences last Sunday and he looks the one to beat if resuming his progress now under the tutelage of Stuart Coltherd. Hector Jaguen still held every chance when unseating his rider late on at Plumpton last month and a 2lb rise should see him remaining competitive. Connections of the lightly-raced Bagheera Ginge have wasted little time in getting him over the larger obstacles and he's another to note.
Prediction : 1st Telhimlisten 2nd Hector Jaguen 3rd Bagheera Ginge

AJP KINGDOM lost little in defeat when finding only the progressive Space Voyage too good at Ludlow last month and this rates a suitable opportunity for the Fergal O'Brien-trained inmate to gain a first career success over hurdles. Astronomic View offered something to work with when finishing third on his hurdling debut at Ffos Las in November and the six-year-old is feared most. Destroytheevidence and Jemura both make their debuts over timber and complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Ajp Kingdom 2nd Astronomic View 3rd Destroytheevidence

Duc De Beauchene finally put it together over fences when scoring at Wincanton last month, but an 11lb rise from the handicapper does make life tougher. With that in mind, the vote goes to LATITUDE, who has conditions very much in his favour, having been pulled out here last week along with Danny Kirwan on account of softer ground, following his Ludlow success in March. The aforementioned Danny Kirwan was also popular in the betting market on that occasion and is feared on this surface, while Good Boy Bobby has been given a chance by the handicapper.
Prediction : 1st Latitude 2nd Danny Kirwan 3rd Good Boy Bobby

QUEENS ROCK proved to be well ahead of the assessor when an easy winner on her handicap bow at Doncaster in February. The fact connections were going to run the daughter of Shirocco in a Listed contest at Cheltenham last month suggests an 11lb rise may not stop her. Breaking Waves has the ability to be competitive and may also benefit from a change of scenery, despite being more consistent than usual in the autumn. Others to note include Runswick Bay and Sami Bear.
Prediction : 1st Queens Rock 2nd Breaking Waves 3rd Runswick Bay

RED ROOKIE won with plenty in hand over 2m at Warwick 32 days ago and he is hard to oppose on the back of that performance off just a 4lb higher mark. Before Midnight has been highly tried in recent starts and he should not be underestimated at this level, while Not Available and Jay Jay Reilly are others with valid form claims.
Prediction : 1st Red Rookie 2nd Before Midnight 3rd Not Available

YOUNG BUTLER outran odds of 40/1 to finish third in a valuable event at Haydock last time and a reproduction of that level of form would give him a big chance here. King's Threshold, a stablemate of the selection, is an obvious threat following his recent win at Exeter. Shot Boii failed to fire on his most recent outing but it is far too soon to be writing him off.
Prediction : 1st Young Butler 2nd Kings Threshold 3rd Shot Boii
