UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

With eight of the 12 declared arriving unraced, it could be folly to ignore the chances of Engineer, a winner on his second start when staying on well over this trip at Wolverhampton. He can go well, but he has to give 7lb to MUKAAFAH which may prove beyond him. Fourth on his debut at Yarmouth when sent off the 11/8 favourite, the soft ground looked against him there and he might come home in front on this surface. Morning Suit and Not Afraid may prove best of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Mukaafah 2nd Engineer 3rd Morning Suit

BIRKIE BOY ran on well under Olivia Tubb to win at Brighton and, although that form is nothing to write home about, he only has 3lb more here and could follow up if he handles the drop back in trip. Hearitfortheboys drops a grade for Nigel Tinkler for his nursery debut and may be worth a market check for any signs of confidence, while Perfect Spring might be worth another chance.
Prediction : 1st Birkie Boy 2nd Hearitfortheboys 3rd Perfect Spring

Muqinah looks a newcomer of note as a daughter of Frankel, but she is bred to come into her own over further as a three-year-old and may have to settle for a place for now. Uplift has more speed in her pedigree and may come out best of the unraced fillies, but FRIGHTENING is preferred. Third on her Nottingham debut on heavy ground after a slow start, she should be far better suited by these conditions.
Prediction : 1st Frightening 2nd Uplift 3rd Muqinah

It's tempting to side with Musical Act on the back of his 7f success in a similar race here in August. However, given that form has taken a few knocks and, with several well-bred debutants on show, there is good reason to look elsewhere. TAWAJJAH, a son of the mighty Frankel, appeals most of the newcomers and, with his yard boasting a commendable strike-rate with juveniles this year, he shades the vote. Fellow newcomers Candle Wax and Amsterdam also warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Tawajjah 2nd Musical Act 3rd Candle Wax

Expected to be wiser after a near miss on his debut at Salisbury last month, MATSURI could be hard to beat. A 700,000gns purchase, this son of Sea The Stars was possibly a touch too keen that day and a more professional display can be expected this time around. Rebaatt and Reveal are others with scope for improvement, while Cupid's Dream, a half-brother to the Listed-placed Al Aguila, is an appealing newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Matsuri 2nd Rebaatt 3rd Reveal

Creme De Cacao, who is still unexposed in handicaps, needs to be taken seriously if she attracts good support in the betting on her first start since April. Epic Express is also dangerous to ignore, despite running off 5lb higher than his last winning mark (on turf). However, CHIFA was denied by just a head here nine days ago and, off the same mark, he has a live chance with Liam Wright back in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Chifa 2nd Creme De Cacao 3rd Epic Express

ORZO is the least exposed in this field and she showed plenty of promise on her handicap bow when third at Newmarket. The daughter of Aclaim struck on her debut over C&D and she looks the way to go. Wild Side filled the runner-up spot over C&D earlier in the month and she is likely to be in contention off a 1lb higher rating, while Urban Decay could also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Orzo 2nd Wild Side 3rd Urban Decay

Enthrallment hit the crossbar in a class 4 event over 1m2f at Ascot in July and he has to be respected off a 3lb higher mark on his return to the all-weather. However, the vote goes to CAPITAL THEORY, who finished third over a furlong shorter earlier in the month and the handicapper may have been kind to leave his mark unchanged. Previous C&D winner Savvy Knight is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Capital Theory 2nd Enthrallment 3rd Savvy Knight

THE COLA KID recorded a double over C&D last week and he now has 5lb extra to carry. The six-year-old has Oisin Murphy taking over in the plate and could easily bring up the hat-trick. The main danger might be Annie Law, who struck over this C&D last month and should go well, while King Of Speed is another to note on his return to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st The Cola Kid 2nd Annie Law 3rd King Of Speed
