UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

PINPOINT won on his nursery debut at Bath last month before following up that victory with a pair of placed efforts at Windsor and here, when just denied earlier in the month. He is expected to go one better today and prove too strong for Cherry Hill, who may appreciate a drop back in trip having raced over a mile when third here last time. Naturalia and Newfangled both look capable of stepping forward on what they have achieved to date.
Prediction : 1st Pinpoint 2nd Cherry Hill 3rd Naturalia

PORT ERIN is unbeaten in two starts in handicap company having backed up a comfortable victory at Newcastle when always in control of proceedings at Ffos Las under a 6lb penalty. Now rated 8lb higher after those victories, Simon and Ed Crisford's gelding is likely to take another step forward and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick. King Of Ithaca has gone close in a pair of handicaps at this track and promises to be suited by returning to 7f, while Miss Gallagher and The Spotlight Kid complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Port Erin 2nd King Of Ithaca 3rd Miss Gallagher

ALEXI BOY ran out a comfortable winner on his second start at Lingfield and the extra furlong is unlikely to hinder the son of Oasis Dream in his attempt to successfully concede 5lb and upwards to his rivals. Silvretta was last seen finishing second to a dual-Group 2 heroine in Sumo Sam at Newmarket in October and she can enter calculations along with Vultar, who has filled the runner-up spot on both outings to date.
Prediction : 1st Alexi Boy 2nd Silvretta 3rd Vultar

MARZOCCO shaped with plenty of promise on his debut when finishing fifth at Chelmsford over 1m2f and he should have learned a great deal from that experience. The son of Roaring Lion could improve for this step up in trip and he gets the vote. Atlantis Blue sets the standard with an official ratings of 78 after her second over C&D last time and she should go well once more, while Heavens To Betsy could take a big step forward from her debut fourth at Goodwood.
Prediction : 1st Marzocco 2nd Atlantis Blue 3rd Heavens To Betsy

STUDY THE STARS returned from a 317-day break to account for his five rivals when scoring over 1m4f earlier in the month and he looks an interesting contender tackling this longer trip for the first time. Considering the way he hit the line on his latest outing, it could eke out more improvement and he may be the one to beat off 4lb higher. Pons Aelius will find this a lot easier than his class 2 assignment over 2m at Goodwood, when he could only manage seventh place, and he can have a say, along with Mountain Road.
Prediction : 1st Study The Stars 2nd Pons Aelius 3rd Mountain Road

KING CABO (fourth) had Almarin (sixth) behind over C&D on his penultimate run and he followed that effort up with a pleasing second at Sandown in a class 3 event earlier this month. This represents a considerable drop in class and he looks the one to beat. Connections of Calypso replace cheekpieces with a first-time visor (plus tongue-tie), which could spark some improvement in the three-year-old and that would give him a chance. Karakoy is an interesting contender on his handicap bow after his success in a novice stakes at Chepstow and he also needs consideration.
Prediction : 1st King Cabo 2nd Calypso 3rd Karakoy

Giant, who ran well on his only previous run at this venue, has scope to improve now he is upped in trip, while Lady Of Arabia wasn't beaten far over C&D on her penultimate start and rates as shortlist material in this company. However, DUBAI DREAMER had legitimate excuses (slowly away and then hampered) when finishing third on his handicap debut at Bath last month and he shades preference as a potential improver in what appears to be the weaker of the two divisions of this race.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Dreamer 2nd Giant 3rd Lady Of Arabia

FRANKFREYA showed likable determination when he got off the mark at Chelmsford 18 days ago and could be hard to beat with a similarly gritty effort over this slightly longer distance. The gelding needed every yard of the trip that day, creating the impression that he has more to give as a middle-distance performer. A 6lb higher mark obviously makes life tougher for the selection, and the likes of Albus Anne and Largo Bay look to be serious dangers.
Prediction : 1st Frankfreya 2nd Albus Anne 3rd Largo Bay
