UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Dynakite has won four races and all of them came over this C&D. He can go well and could be the biggest danger to ISLAND OF SKYE, who has hit a top three-spot on all four starts for his new yard. Only been beaten a neck and half a length respectively on his last two starts, first-time blinkers may find the improvement needed for him to score. Glory Sky is another to consider for the stable who won this last year and she drops in a class following a solid fourth at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Island Of Skye 2nd Dynakite 3rd Glory Sky

Shiva Shakti disappointed at Newbury in April but has her first start for Ed Walker here and she may be better judged on a promising debut second over this trip at Yarmouth. She seems worth a market watch, but preference is for ENGLISH ROSE. A winner at Newmarket on her only start in May, she has not been seen since but that patience may pay off with a second success for the Frankel filly. Silver Leaf pulled off a 12/1 surprise at Ffos Las in January and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st English Rose 2nd Silver Leaf 3rd Twirling

With precious little form to work with, it may pay to side with debut fourth LUCENTIO, who caught the eye at Yarmouth on ground that may have been too soft for him. He ran on well over the seven furlongs there and should appreciate the step up to a mile. Royal Power is an obvious alternative with the Charlie Appleby string in good form and he looked the sort to improve for his debut fifth here last month, while Spartan Warrior is in interesting newcomer for Ollie Sangster, who is having an excellent season.
Prediction : 1st Lucentio 2nd Royal Power 3rd Spartan Warrior

MIDAIR improved on his debut effort at Newmarket to finish second at Goodwood last time and the son of Frankel should have plenty more to come, so he looks the one to beat. The main threat may be Lord Of Love, who is related to plenty of winners and represents powerful connections on his racecourse debut. Any market support would further add to the confidence behind him, while Markoon should improve from his debut effort at Newmarket when fifth and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Midair 2nd Lord Of Love 3rd Markoon

MEASURED TIME has a perfect record after three starts and he has been sent off favourite for each of those victories. The son of Frankel is now rated 101 after going up 10lb for a smooth victory on his handicap bow at Newmarket last time but he could improve further for this step up in trip and he is a confident selection. C&D winner Belloccio could put up the biggest fight as this is an easier assignment than his fourth behind Bay Bridge in a Group 3 in September. Lion's Pride can beat Blanchland home for third after his third at Listed level last time.
Prediction : 1st Measured Time 2nd Belloccio 3rd Lions Pride

GRAIGNES is a previous C&D winner who finished in midfield in the Cambridgeshire at Newmarket in September and, based on his last effort on the all-weather at Southwell earlier that month, he looks feasibly treated. William Buick is an eye-catching booking and he could return to winning ways. The main threat appears to be Capital Theory, who was dropped 1lb for his sixth at Newcastle on his latest outing and should go well. Of the remainder, top-weight Max Mayhem makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Graignes 2nd Capital Theory 3rd Max Mayhem

STONE SOLDIER filled second place on his belated seasonal return at Chester in September and it would be no surprise to see him go one better with the benefit of that outing. Tacarib Bay has been highly tried this season and it would be no surprise to see him go well in a race of this nature, while Mount Athos and Larado are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Stone Soldier 2nd Tacarib Bay 3rd Mount Athos

Soft ground was a valid excuse for WARREN HILL's poor performance at Nottingham last time and she can be given another chance here based on her narrow defeat off this mark the time before. The consistent Miss Dolly Rocker is likely to be in the mix once again and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Arenas Del Tiempo and Miss Dynamic.
Prediction : 1st Warren Hill 2nd Miss Dolly Rocker 3rd Arenas Del Tiempo

Optiva Star has to be considered given his outstanding form in recent months, but marginal preference is for EPIC EXPRESS. The five-year-old made the frame twice over C&D last month and he merits the utmost respect off just 1lb higher than when a close second on the most recent of those occasions. The shortlist is completed by Dark Side Thunder and Chifa.
Prediction : 1st Epic Express 2nd Optiva Star 3rd Dark Side Thunder
