UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Ayyab sets the standard based on her third in handicap company off a mark of 75, but that level is not too high and preference is for LOVE STORY. The daughter of Frankel is a half-sister to US Grade 1 winner Max Player, as well as Group 2 scorer Seahenge. The fact that she makes her debut this late into her three-year-old year suggests that connections believe that she can pick up a race and this looks like an ideal opportunity. Elladonna edges out Another Beautiful and Quietness to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Love Story 2nd Ayyab 3rd Elladonna

In an open event, marginal preference is for FLEUR DE MER, who has won two of her last three starts and is only 4lb higher than for the most recent of those victories at Newcastle. Mordor found just one too good on his handicap bow here three weeks ago and the son of Roaring Lion remains open to further improvement. Others to note are Perseus Way, Tessy Lad and Mayfair Gold.
Prediction : 1st Fleur De Mer 2nd Mordor 3rd Perseus Way

Hurricane Power and Honest Desire are the pick of those with experience but they could be vulnerable in a race of this nature. With that in mind, preference is for URESHII, who is a Too Darn Hot half-brother to Group 3-winning sprinter Sense Of Duty, and he represents a yard that can get one ready first time. Exceed Now also catches the eye as the first foal out of a mare who won a Group 3 over 6f as a juvenile. More Light and Mesaafi merit consideration too.
Prediction : 1st Ureshii 2nd Exceed Now 3rd Honest Desire

GIORGIO M showed plenty of ability to finish fourth at Wolverhampton on debut last week and the son of Profitable should have learned a great deal from that experience. The booking of William Buick hints he is fancied take a big step forward. Durham Castle, who has a tongue-tie fitted for his introduction, was a 220,000gns purchase as a yearling so any market support for him would be of interest. Fellow newcomer Jarraaf is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Giorgio M 2nd Durham Castle 3rd Jarraaf

MISCHIEF MAGIC looks the class act in this field and he has been gelded since finishing eighth in the Commonwealth Cup. Last year's Breeders' Cup Juvenile Turf Sprint hero is rated 4lb clear of nearest rival Brad The Brief and should prove too good. Never Just A Dream returns from a break after finishing a respectable fifth at Meydan in February and he could fight it out for a place with Misty Grey.
Prediction : 1st Mischief Magic 2nd Brad The Brief 3rd Never Just A Dream

Dionysian finished a close-up third in the Racing League at Southwell and he has to be respected off the same mark, but the vote goes to last week's C&D second ELZAAM BLUE. The Jamie Osborne-trained five-year-old appreciated the drop to this level when just failing to get up and he could go one better off the same rating. Surrey Noir and Crow's Nest are a couple of others to watch out for in an open contest.
Prediction : 1st Elzaam Blue 2nd Dionysian 3rd Surrey Noir

None of these look particularly well handicapped and while the likes of Behind The Scenes and Tiempo Star help to set a good standard, THEME PARK strikes as one with more to offer. Nigel Tinkler's three-year-old was just denied at York on his first start after being gelded, and he broke his maiden over 7f here last year so is proven on the surface. Tyndrum Gold is already a dual C&D winner and is feared most, while Gulmarg is another capable of going close.
Prediction : 1st Theme Park 2nd Tyndrum Gold 3rd Gulmarg

A winner off 4lb lower on his first attempt over a mile, My Opinion appear likely to go well. However, that Chelmsford success came in a 0-52 band and this represents a sterner test, with RECUERDAME suggested as the preferred option. Having returned from a break to win over C&D, Simon Dow's gelding is still on a handy mark and a 4lb rise might not be enough to prevent back-to-back successes. Weloof and Wizarding complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Recuerdame 2nd My Opinion 3rd Weloof

Suanni is a likely pace angle and, from a handy draw, he is a threat to all if his stamina holds out back over 6f for the first time this year. Mintana is also shortlisted after a surprise success over this trip off 3lb lower at Wolverhampton. However, a strong tempo would ideally suit Kempton regular MAGICINTHEMAKING, who is currently dangerously well handicapped in comparison to her peak form and a big run can be expected on her return.
Prediction : 1st Magicinthemaking 2nd Suanni 3rd Mintana
