UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Now in the care of the in-form Harry Derham stable, QUEENS GAMBLE is a talented mare to be going to war with this season, and the fact she got hurdles experience when scoring comfortably at Warwick in May is another plus. The five-year-old can follow up at the main expense of impressive Wincanton scorer Classic King, as well as Bhaloo, who has switched to Nicky Henderson since taking a Market Rasen bumper in April. Bobby's Fortune and newcomer Selwan cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Queens Gamble 2nd Classic King 3rd Bhaloo

An impressive winner at Exeter last time out when seeing off the reopposing Sherborne (second) by nine lengths, STROLL ON BY may only improve for going back up in trip and he should be able to manage a 9lb rise. Not beaten far on his latest start over hurdles here in May, Invincible Nao is of interest on his chasing debut, while similar comments apply to Touchy Feely and Richhill for strong connections.
Prediction : 1st Stroll On By 2nd Invincible Nao 3rd Richhill

An unlucky loser on his hurdles debut at Chepstow when falling at the last when in front, EL RIO made up for that with a dominant display at Ascot in April. He could be one to be excited about for the Kim Bailey yard and he is narrowly preferred to East India Express, who could not have won any easier here on his Rules debut in February. Both with C&D experience, Monks Meadow and Much Too Dear are capable of being in the shake-up also.
Prediction : 1st El Rio 2nd East India Express 3rd Much Too Dear

DANNY KIRWAN appeared to be showing some of his old verve before weakening in the latter stages to finish fifth at Chepstow last month. Paul Nicholls' charge is entitled to improve for that comeback run and he makes plenty of appeal racing off top-weight in this contest. A spin over hurdles at that same meeting should have put Le Ligerien spot on for this switch to chasing and the fellow veteran isn't taken lightly, with Hatcher making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Danny Kirwan 2nd Le Ligerien 3rd Hatcher

Coral Cup winner Langer Dan arrives here off a career-high mark and the seven-year-old may be worth taking on judged on the performance of previous seasonal debuts. IRISH HILL was a progressive type during his last campaign but for losing his form in the spring. The son of Kingston Hill is only 3lb above his last winning mark and a subsequent wind procedure may be enough to see him back in the winner's enclosure. Dargiannini may have been freshened up by a break and is a viable alternative too.
Prediction : 1st Irish Hill 2nd Dargiannini 3rd Langer Dan

LA RENOMMEE appeared revitalised by a good summer on her back when winning with ease at Ludlow last month. The handicapper has reacted with a 9lb rise in the ratings for the five-year-old, but the daughter of Doctor Dino looks capable of more and gets the vote. The hat-trick seeking Petticoat Lucy is sure to prove popular and she must enter calculations, while Notnowlinda is relatively unexposed in this sphere and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st La Renommee 2nd Petticoat Lucy 3rd Notnowlinda

ANGEL'S DREAM gamely won a maiden hurdle at Plumpton in May and an opening mark of 100 looks workable for Gary Moore's gelding. His stablemate Sanitiser has yet to convince with his stamina in this sphere, but it's too soon to be writing the four-year-old off given his ability on the level. Bucephalus has been in decent form on the Flat since last seen over timber and the son of Solider Hollow is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Angels Dream 2nd Sanitiser 3rd Bucephalus
