UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

The key to this race looks to be the recent clash here between the likes of PERFECT SPRING (second), Birkie Boy (third) and Quiet Affair (fourth). Andrew Balding's filly should be suited by stepping back up in trip and she can get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Hand Jive has run with plenty of credit on his last two starts and he is another capable of being in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Spring 2nd Hand Jive 3rd Birkie Boy

Now in the hands of Kevin Philippart De Foy, RASCAL RECKNELL gets the vote following a highly encouraging introduction at Sandown in August, when third behind a pair of subsequent winners. Better is expected of Symbol Of Power after a disappointing effort when well fancied on debut at Newmarket, since when he has been gelded. Old Chums is another open to improvement, while Regal Defence and Sold The Dream look to be the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Rascal Recknell 2nd Symbol Of Power 3rd Sold The Dream

A chance can be taken on FASHION SHOW, who is related to multiple winners and should be suited by this trip on her debut. The daughter of Galileo Gold is preferred to fellow newcomer Attila The Honey, as well as Born A Rebel, who is expected to appreciate going up in trip after a promising third over 7f at Chelmsford last month. Others to note include Jaunty Dancer, Mizuumi and Ortigia.
Prediction : 1st Fashion Show 2nd Born A Rebel 3rd Attila The Honey

Things appeared to drop kindly for Timetobenice when he opened his account over C&D last month and the concession of 3lb to FOURONEOHFEVER may just prove too much. George Boughey's colt hasn't done too much wrong in placing on both 7f starts to date and the combination of an extra furlong, plus William Buick taking over in the saddle, can help him make it third-time lucky. All Greek To Me, a half-brother to a US Grade 3 winner, looks potentially interesting from a newcomer perspective.
Prediction : 1st Fouroneohfever 2nd Timetobenice 3rd All Greek To Me

A decent contest in which Dark Side Thunder is again likely to be involved after incurring just a 3lb rise for notching a sixth all-weather win (from just 10 starts) over C&D last time out. Course specialist Sandy Paradise should also be in the mix but, if there is any value, it may lie with PERFECT THUNDER, who might appreciate this return to 7f from a falling mark after attracting support on her AW debut at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Thunder 2nd Dark Side Thunder 3rd Sandy Paradise

All eyes will be on Godolphin's globetrotting star REBEL'S ROMANCE as he bids for a 10th win from just 16 starts and although the five-year-old wasn't at his best in New York when last seen, the former Breeders' Cup Turf winner should still have too much class for this field. Ralph Beckett's Max Vega showed up well when third in a Group 3 event over C&D in the autumn so the fact that Hector Crouch prefers to ride lightly-raced stablemate Salt Bay is an intriguing pointer.
Prediction : 1st Rebels Romance 2nd Salt Bay 3rd Max Vega

Granary Queen made the frame over 7f here on her latest outing and has been dropped 1lb so she is an interesting contender taking a step back in trip. However, the vote goes to MOMAER, who went in by a neck in heavy conditions at Newmarket last month and only has 3lb extra to contend with. The daughter of Belardo shed her maiden tag on the all-weather at Lingfield and could record her fourth career success. Crimson Angel is the pick of the rest after her second at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Momaer 2nd Granary Queen 3rd Crimson Angel

Moorgate has been in solid form and his latest second over 5f at Lingfield was another pleasing display, although his improvement has come over shorter trips so it's best to side with REVE DE MAGRITTE. The four-year-old may have been only sixth at Wolverhampton last week, but she finished strongly and is now aided by the services of Danny Tudhope. She goes off the same rating and could prove tough to beat. Agapanther has the cheekpieces removed and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Reve De Magritte 2nd Moorgate 3rd Agapanther
