UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS displayed plenty of promise when finishing second on his debut over C&D last month and the son of Masked Marvel could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience under his belt. Goodwin Face is related to plenty of winners and has to be of interest on his racecourse bow, while Push To Pass and Billytherealbigred are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Captain Marvellous 2nd Goodwin Face 3rd Push To Pass

Floating Line is likely to be popular having filled second place in a Fakenham NH Flat race on her debut in April. She has since switched from Olly Murphy to Nicky Henderson but the form is not very strong and preference is for SECRET SQUIRREL, who won both of his outings in bumpers. Cases can be made for most of the remainder, but Dancing In Brazil and Borodale are arguably the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Secret Squirrel 2nd Floating Line 3rd Dancing In Brazil

FIRST STREET was a high-class handicapper over timber and managed to chase home State Man in the County Hurdle back in March 2022. The six-year-old confirmed his well-being with a respectable third in a Listed event here last month and he is going to be hard to beat if transferring that ability to fences. Harbour Lake ran well in some valuable events last season and should not be underestimated, while Bourbali needs to improve but merits some consideration.
Prediction : 1st First Street 2nd Harbour Lake 3rd Bourbali

DESTROYTHEEVIDENCE had plenty in hand when winning a novice hurdle over 2m5f here last month and, given he wasn't fully extended that day and already has proven stamina, he is fancied to cope with today's additional yardage. The Kim Bailey-trained gelding debuts in a handicap off a very workable mark and looks open to a tad more progression than the likes of recent Huntingdon winner Ballintubber Boy and Baddesley, who returns to this trip after winning off 3lb lower at Plumpton three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Destroytheevidence 2nd Ballintubber Boy 3rd Baddesley

KATEIRA progressed well last season, with her final run seeing her finish second to Irish Point in an Aintree Grade 1, and Dan Skelton's mare is expected to leave behind her return effort when a well-beaten third at Wetherby. The step up to 3m is another potential avenue for improvement and this appears an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways. Coquelicot won't lack for fitness having run with credit in a Newmarket handicap at the start of the month and appears the main danger, although Sabrina won in great style at Ayr in the spring and may have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Kateira 2nd Coquelicot 3rd Sabrina

OUR JET looked in need of his first run of the season when third at Newbury earlier in the month and the addition of cheekpieces for the first time aids his cause further. Thelasthighking has to enter calculations following his second here over 2m2f, while Mullinaree is an interesting chase debutant having won five on the bounce over hurdles earlier in the year.
Prediction : 1st Our Jet 2nd Thelasthighking 3rd Mullinaree

Tapley stepped forward considerably from his previous couple of performances when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago, but a 6lb rise will make life tougher for him. Oslo's second at Uttoxeter in August gives him every chance of being in the mix, while any market support for In This World would make him of interest. The vote, though, goes to SAMUEL SPADE, who showed promise as a juvenile and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back from his efforts in the spring.
Prediction : 1st Samuel Spade 2nd Tapley 3rd Oslo
