UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

LATIN VERSE appeared somewhat of an unlucky loser in his runner-up effort at Sedgefield earlier in the month after jumping badly left at the final obstacle. Milton Harris' juvenile will need to jump better to shed his maiden tag in this sphere, but he should take all the stopping if building on that hurdles bow. Kauto Kawai is worth noting in the market on his UK debut, while Flat recruits Outgun and Soigneux Bell could have a say too.
Prediction : 1st Latin Verse 2nd Kauto Kawai 3rd Outgun

NOTNOWLINDA was far from disgraced when finding only another unexposed chaser too good on her chasing bow at Warwick last month and Dan Skelton's mare is fancied to defy a 2lb nudge in the ratings. Rakhine State is the only other rival with experience over the larger obstacles and the veteran shouldn't be far away after posting a respectable third over hurdles at Perth in September, with Kotmask and Fame And Fun making most appeal of those making their debuts in this sphere.
Prediction : 1st Notnowlinda 2nd Rakhine State 3rd Kotmask

Presenting Nelly completed the second leg of a quick-fire double at Newton Abbot in late-September, but the six-year-old will require another career-best performance to complete a hat-trick judged on the ratings. DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE appeared a bit too keen when runner-up over an extended 3m at Southwell earlier this month and he could regain the winning thread now dropping in distance to 2m5f, with first-time cheekpieces an added bonus. The returning Much Too Dear is seen as the largest threat in receipt of 7lb from the selection and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Destroytheevidence 2nd Much Too Dear 3rd Presenting Nelly

Mercian Prince deserves a mention having won this race for the last two years, but he is 12 now and was not at his best when pulled up last time out at Bangor. He could still go well but JAY JAY REILLY is readily preferred. A three-time course winner, twice over fences and once over hurdles, he was last seen finishing second to the aforementioned Mercian Prince over C&D in May, despite pulling too hard, and looks set for a profitable season. Thelasthighking is lightly raced and may be the one to follow the suggestion home at these weights for the in-form Twiston-Davies yard.
Prediction : 1st Jay Jay Reilly 2nd Thelasthighking 3rd Mercian Prince

It takes a good horse to win this with The New One taking it three times and SCEAU ROYAL looks to match that feat after successes in 2021 and 2022. Alan King's 11-year-old has an excellent record fresh with wins first time out in six of the last seven seasons, and although time has to catch up with him eventually, it may not be just yet. Rubaud is an improving youngster who could have more to offer, while First Street also has to be of interest returning from a wind operation.
Prediction : 1st Sceau Royal 2nd Rubaud 3rd First Street

A determined winner over C&D on his most recent start in April, PASVOLSKY has won fresh in the past and this looks like an ideal opportunity to get his season off to a perfect start. Runner-up on his last two outings, Island Run must be of interest on his chase debut, while the capable Riskintheground was unlucky when brought down early on at Warwick earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Pasvolsky 2nd Island Run 3rd Riskintheground

DECORATED hasn't run much in the past year or so, but the impression he has made when scoring on his last two starts has been very strong. The five-year-old remains unexposed and open to more improvement as he looks to see off the likes of Wincanton winner Oscars Moonshine and Awaythelad, who steps up in trip on his handicap debut. Shallow River and Whatsupwithyou have the form to get involved as well.
Prediction : 1st Decorated 2nd Oscars Moonshine 3rd Awaythelad
