UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Penguin Island keeps finding one too good for her, finishing second on her last two starts, and she may suffer the same fate here trying to give 10lb to DELLA. Improving with experience, she was less than a length off the winner when runner-up at Southwell last month (with four lengths back to the third) and she could prove hard to beat today. Holy Fire caught the eye when third on her only start and may battle it out with Kanohi Breeze for the minor placing.
Prediction : 1st Della 2nd Penguin Island 3rd Holy Fire

Lady Dreamer has the best form after only being beaten a neck over C&D when she was last seen in September, but she is drawn in stall 12 on her return and that may put her at a disadvantage here. KANGAROO ran well when third on his first start at Wolverhampton and although only fifth at Lingfield in March, that was a better race and he may be worth another chance in this company. Monty Bay and Deep In My Heart are others to consider with plenty of improvement possible from them both.
Prediction : 1st Kangaroo 2nd Lady Dreamer 3rd Monty Bay

SAYIFYOUWILL is entitled to have a big say here having won at the course three times and over the trip on seven occasions, with her latest success at Lingfield in February off just 1lb higher in the handicap. That suggests she could be a player again, although Satin Snake is a worthy adversary. An unlucky fourth at Newcastle after a slow start, he can go well along with top-weight Windseeker, who is expected to improve after his first start of the season.
Prediction : 1st Sayifyouwill 2nd Satin Snake 3rd Windseeker

REAL DREAM showed a decent level of ability last year and, given his connections, it would be no surprise to see the unexposed four-year-old progress significantly this year. If he does improve, then a mark of 86 may vastly underestimate him. Wonder Starelzaam made a winning return at Lingfield in March and may prove to be the main threat, although Udaberri and Bizarre Law should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Real Dream 2nd Wonder Starelzaam 3rd Udaberri

SANDY PARADISE filled second place over 7f here last time and the step back up in trip could help him to go one better off the same mark. Calin's Lad has won twice in recent months and merits plenty of respect in his bid for a hat-trick. Others who make the shortlist are Give A Little Back, Trans Montana and The Spotlight Kid.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Paradise 2nd Calins Lad 3rd Give A Little Back

Damascus Finish has been running to a consistent level in recent starts and is worthy of consideration, along with Purple Poppy, who must compete under a 5lb penalty having won at Lingfield one week ago. However, a chance is taken on the Michael Appleby-trained THRAVE. A series of below-par efforts followed his course win in November, but the eight-year-old hinted at a return to form when beaten two and a half lengths at Wolverhampton last month and he's on a competitive mark if able to back it up.
Prediction : 1st Thrave 2nd Damascus Finish 3rd Purple Poppy

Agapanther had the benefit of a low draw when seeing off the challenge of DELLA MARE (second) over C&D two weeks ago, but the daughter of Outstrip is not afforded that luxury today and the latter is fancied to reverse that form now 5lb better off at the weights. Fiscal Policy retains potential and must be respected on his return from an absence, while Magicinthemaking, who boasts a good record around here, cannot be ruled out now back down to her last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Della Mare 2nd Agapanther 3rd Fiscal Policy
