UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

MEASURED TIME accounted for a useful rival when making a winning debut over C&D in February and the son of Frankel merits plenty of respect on his return to action, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. Godwinson and Botanical have also shown a high level of ability already and they are likely to be the main threats to the selection. That said, Lahab should not be underestimated and Marching Band is a noteworthy newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Measured Time 2nd Godwinson 3rd Botanical

Quatre Bras was out of his depth in Group 2 company last time but the son of Sea The Stars was not beaten far on debut and clearly sets the standard at this level. However, a chance can be taken with CLASSIC ENCOUNTER, who lacks race experience but his dam won a Grade 1 in the US and he is a half-brother to the Listed-placed First Ruler. Miletus is another well-related newcomer who merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Classic Encounter 2nd Quatre Bras 3rd Miletus

Connections had to part with 625,000gns to purchase IMPORTANT ROLE as a yearling and it would be no surprise to see the son of Dubawi make a winning debut for his in-form yard. Crimson Road was not disgraced on his racecourse bow at Salisbury in June and he is entitled to improve significantly for that experience. Savvy Kingdom is a player based on his first outing but his most recent effort was very disappointing, while any market support for Royal Tapestry would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Important Role 2nd Crimson Road 3rd Royal Tapestry

Love Yours ran her best race yet when a four-length fifth here in a novice stakes lsat month and she could go well on her handicap debut for a stable in great form. However, MARIAMNE looks the more sensible suggestion as this looks an easier race than her Windsor fourth latest and, with a 5f Wolverhampton success in May on her CV, she could shoulder top-weight to victory. Fengari is another to consider, although she needs to get home over a sixth furlong on her second attempt at the trip after her midfield finish in a far better race over shorter at Newbury.
Prediction : 1st Mariamne 2nd Love Yours 3rd Fengari

In an interesting renewal, Marmara Sea seems to have chances on her return to the all-weather after a nine-length third at Newmarket on turf and that followed a one-length second over this trip at Lingfield. Let Life Happen is another for the shortlist after coming home second on both of her starts to date and she can also go well, but COCO ROYALE could be the one beat. Fifth and only beaten three lengths on her debut here, she was weak in the market that day and looked the sort to improve considerably for the experience.
Prediction : 1st Coco Royale 2nd Marmara Sea 3rd Let Life Happen

OKAMI ran on well over a furlong shorter to win by a head at Chelmsford last month and an added 2lb from the handicapper may not stop him following up now upped in trip for the stable who won this in 2019. Supaspecialawesome drops in class after running acceptably without success in better races and he could be a danger to all, while Musical Tribute was only beaten a neck when third over shorter at Leicester and is well worth another try at 7f here.
Prediction : 1st Okami 2nd Supaspecialawesome 3rd Musical Tribute

Having been narrowly denied at Chester in May, PONS AELIUS made no mistake when winning at Goodwood the following month. Charlie Johnston's colt was a winner over course and distance from a 2lb lower mark in December and the son of Galileo could continue to progress over marathon trips. Arcadian Friend (also engaged to run at Chelmsford on Tuesday evening) hit the woodwork at Lingfield last month and he's likely to be in the thick of things once again. A step up in trip could suit the lightly-raced Fox Vision and he heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Pons Aelius 2nd Arcadian Friend 3rd Fox Vision
