UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

There was only a neck to separate Moondial (first) and BOOM BOOM POW (second) at Salisbury 10 days ago, however, given it was the latter's first start for Jo Davis, she's taken to reverse those placings this time around. Ceilidh performed with credit on his first start for George Baker when third at Brighton earlier this month and shouldn't be dismissed lightly. Musterion has been running well of late but this drop in trip tempers enthusiasm.
Prediction : 1st Boom Boom Pow 2nd Moondial 3rd Ceilidh

VINAKA went agonisingly close on her stable/handicap debut when going down by a head to finish third at Salisbury just over a fortnight ago, her first start since October, and a repeat of that effort can see her go close. Intricate Pillar got off the mark in determined fashion over C&D in December and an opening mark of 70 appears workable. Liberty Mountain ran with credit on all three starts last month and can also make the frame.
Prediction : 1st Vinaka 2nd Intricate Pillar 3rd Liberty Mountain

VENTURA EMPRESS went off a strong favourite at Lingfield nine days ago and, although she finished fourth on that occasion, she's fancied to get off the mark with that debut experience now under her belt. Another who showed potential on debut was Bigger Than Giga, who finished third at Lingfield over a furlong shorter and looks sure to improve for this extra yardage. Any market confidence behind the unraced Lucy Lockett would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Ventura Empress 2nd Bigger Than Giga 3rd Lucy Lockett

There are a number of interesting newcomers here, with RED TROOP making slightly more appeal than Magsood, Primetime and Cuban Fiesta. His price rose from 70,000gns to 110,000gns from a yearling to a two-year-old and the booking of William Buick catches the eye. Magsood represents powerful connections and demands respect, while Inishfallen looks best of those with previous racecourse experience.
Prediction : 1st Red Troop 2nd Magsood 3rd Inishfallen

Covert Legend ran a blinder at Wolverhampton last time and has an obvious chance lining up off the same mark, but it could pay to side with SHIGAR. William Haggas' charge has improved with each start so far this year and the application of a first-time hood could potentially unlock another gear. Golden Passport also merits consideration with his sights lowered.
Prediction : 1st Shigar 2nd Covert Legend 3rd Golden Passport

SANDY PARADISE produced a career-best performance when returned to the all-weather over 7f here last time, scoring with a bit in hand, and a 5lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Oliver Show wears a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap debut and makes plenty of appeal, while Molly Valentine shouldn't be too far away either.
Prediction : 1st Sandy Paradise 2nd Oliver Show 3rd Molly Valentine

Wild Hurricane is an interesting contender in a handicap for the first time for the Saeed bin Suroor stable, and could find improvement for the application of a hood. However, SILASTAR is the way to go, as he went in by just under two lengths on his latest outing at Sandown and should be able to defy the 5lb rise in the weights to record a treble. Chips And Rice is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Silastar 2nd Wild Hurricane 3rd Chips And Rice

La Belle Vie (second) had Devizes (third) behind when only denied by a neck over C&D earlier in the month, and she is likely to have her supporters as she only competes off a 1lb higher mark. However, the vote goes to TRADESMAN, who continues to drop in the weights and showed some more life last time at Chelmsford when only beaten under five lengths into fifth. He could improve for first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Tradesman 2nd La Belle Vie 3rd Devizes
