UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

The unbeaten MEZZO SOPRANO has made quite the impression in both starts, and a mark of 75 could prove particularly lenient on her handicap debut with the step up in trip expected to suit. The more exposed King Of Ithaca did it well here last month and is entitled to be thereabouts, while Triggered, a winner of two of his last three starts, has the form to get involved too.
Prediction : 1st Mezzo Soprano 2nd King Of Ithaca 3rd Triggered

AGE OF BAROQUE showed plenty of ability when third on his debut over C&D last month and, with normal improvement expected, this well-bred son of Lope De Vega can get off the mark on this occasion. Odonnell's Orchard brings a higher level of form to the table and is one to watch out for, while Cynosure shaped well on his racecourse bow at Newbury despite a tardy start.
Prediction : 1st Age Of Baroque 2nd Cynosure 3rd Odonnells Orchard

The penny dropped late for IMPERIAL GUARD on his debut over C&D last month and the way he finished his race was eye-catching and pointed to future success. This is a winnable contest and he gets the nod ahead of the costly Important Role, who may put up most resistance following a mediocre debut when favourite over C&D in August. Of the newcomers, Claxton Bay stands out as a half-brother to Tacarib Bay.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Guard 2nd Important Role 3rd Claxton Bay

MIDDLESEX took a step forward from her debut effort at Wolverhampton to finish second at Beverley over an extended mile, with Satay Street (sixth) behind. With normal progression, the daughter of Territories could prove hard to beat under William Buick. Happy Place only went down to a warm favourite at Brighton last month and has to be considered, while Tamfana could have a say after her third at Ffos Las.
Prediction : 1st Middlesex 2nd Happy Place 3rd Tamfana

Mafnood showed up well on his nursery debut over 7f at Doncaster last month and he could appreciate this step back up in distance off a 2lb higher mark. However, preference is for SAHARA KITTEN, who has hit the crossbar on each of his two nursery starts and he ought to go close off the same mark as last time at Wolverhampton. Royal Supremacy should be monitored in the betting on his nursery bow.
Prediction : 1st Sahara Kitten 2nd Mafnood 3rd Royal Supremacy

SHEROOD hit the frame on his handicap bow at Newmarket off this rating when last seen in July and he has Oisin Murphy booked on his return to action. The son of Night Of Thunder could have plenty more to come and he looks the one to be with. The main danger is Cliffs Of Capri, who ran well in fourth at Doncaster last month and has to be considered back in handicap company. Of the remainder, Nasim makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Sherood 2nd Cliffs Of Capri 3rd Nasim

The in-form MOUNT OLYMPUS won for the third time from his last four starts at Goodwood a month ago and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off just a 4lb higher mark here. Barrier is unexposed and has to be of some interest on her return to action, while Ithaca's Arrow and Glorious Lion are others who are capable of going well.
Prediction : 1st Mount Olympus 2nd Barrier 3rd Glorious Lion

DARK SIDE THUNDER has won his last two starts on the all-weather and his most recent efforts on turf suggest that he could be hard to stop now back on a synthetic surface. Inanna hit the crossbar at Yarmouth three weeks ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to Nogo's Dream and Golden Duke.
Prediction : 1st Dark Side Thunder 2nd Inanna 3rd Nogos Dream

MAGICINTHEMAKING was only beaten a head into second over 6f here a week ago and the step back up in trip can see this former C&D winner go one better off the same mark. White Mist was also narrowly denied on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Carry On Aitch and Purple Poppy.
Prediction : 1st Magicinthemaking 2nd White Mist 3rd Carry On Aitch
