UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Arisaig sets a clear standard on the strength of her decisive debut victory but she didn't build on that in Listed company next time and conceding 7lb to POST RIDER may prove much. The Cole-trained filly beat everything bar the well-regarded Rochelle on her debut at Chelmsford and is taken to put that experience to good use, though a market move for John and Thady Gosden's newcomer D Flawless, who is a half-sister to a couple of all-weather winners, would be significant.
Prediction : 1st Post Rider 2nd Arisaig 3rd D Flawless

Hard to rule anything out of this but KODIAC THRILLER could throw up some value. Charles Hills' colt split second-placed Western and sixth-placed Honest Desire when fourth in a messy race over C&D on his handicap debut but the way he picked up in the closing stages suggested he was the one to take out of the race. Free As A Bird looks potentially well treated off a mark of 66 for her handicap bow and could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Kodiac Thriller 2nd Honest Desire 3rd Free As A Bird

Asimov, a staying on sixth in a 7f Newmarket maiden first time out, looks the pick of those to have already raced but it's hard to look beyond beautifully-bred Godolphin newcomer EL CORDOBES. The son of Frankel changed hands for a cool 2,000,000gns as a yearling and could prove a cut above, although Charlie Appleby has had a few turned over at short prices recently. Sardinian Warrior, out of a Group 1-winning dam, is another debutant to note.
Prediction : 1st El Cordobes 2nd Asimov 3rd Sardinian Warrior

An astronomical purchase at the sales last year, KALIDASA arrives with a lofty reputation being a son of Frankel out of a So Mi Dar mare, who has produced some top class performers in recent years. He can take this en route to better things, although fellow newcomer Fighter Command looks a big danger, along with Cool Legend, who should improve for a promising debut over C&D last month. Immortal Knight and Mina Rashid can also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Kalidasa 2nd Fighter Command 3rd Cool Legend

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash over C&D between Twirling (third) and THROUBI (fifth), when the latter appeared a shade unlucky having to wait for room before staying on strongly at the finish. She can reverse the form and get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. Flindrikin improved from her first to second start when third at Newcastle last month and she is also entitled to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Throubi 2nd Twirling 3rd Flindrikin

A tentative vote goes to NOBLE SOVEREIGN, who was an highly-encouraging second over C&D on her penultimate start and now makes her first start for the shrewd David Loughnane stable. A mark of 68 on her handicap debut looks manageable and she can see off the steadily-improving Daydream Express and Elladonna, who wasn't beaten far the last twice and should be suited by dropping back in trip. Others to note include Aussi Mandate, Creme Chantilly and Platinum Jubilee.
Prediction : 1st Noble Sovereign 2nd Elladonna 3rd Daydream Express

MAJESTIC PRIDE remains unexposed and was only beaten a length into fourth at this level when last seen in May. The son of Shamardal has been gelded subsequently and it would be no surprise to see him return to winning ways here. Al Mubhir has filled third place in this grade on two of his last three starts and he can go well once again, while Tempus edges out Grey's Monument to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Majestic Pride 2nd Al Mubhir 3rd Tempus

THE GRAND VISIR has faced some stiff tasks since finishing third off a 2lb higher mark over 2m at the Ascot's Shergar Cup meeting in August. The veteran can be unpredictable but he is more than capable of winning a race of this nature if on a going day. Sir Chauvelin has to be of interest having accounted for a number of these when winning over C&D four weeks ago, while Sleeping Lion and Duty Of Care complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st The Grand Visir 2nd Sir Chauvelin 3rd Sleeping Lion

PAGE THREE put in a career-best effort when beaten a neck into second over C&D a month ago and Andrew Balding's filly could get off the mark now just 1lb higher in the ratings. The unexposed Story Horse was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and is an obvious threat, while Absolute Queen and Royal Dream are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Page Three 2nd Story Horse 3rd Absolute Queen
