UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

MAJORELLE BLUE filled the runner-up spot at Chelmsford just before Christmas and the manner of that performance suggested the extra furlong would play to her strengths. Maverick Style won on the same card the selection contested last time and she has to be of interest, despite a 3lb rise. Rhasidat won a nursery at Dundalk on her penultimate start and isn't one to discount on her UK debut for Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole.
Prediction : 1st Majorelle Blue 2nd Maverick Style 3rd Rhasidat

HANNAH'S RETURN won over this distance at Wolverhampton two starts ago before dropping back to the minimum trip at the same venue and finishing less than a length away in third. Top-rated in the line-up, this represents an excellent opportunity for Gary Brown's mare to gain a fourth career victory. Sea The Buckthorn is capable of a decent showing, while a repeat of Penny Be's fourth at Lingfield last Thursday would give her every chance of going close.
Prediction : 1st Hannahs Return 2nd Sea The Buckthorn 3rd Penny Be

MARCHETTI clearly benefitted from wind surgery when scoring by two lengths over course and distance from Safe Passage last month.The former is taken to confirm that form, with the pair meeting on effectively the same terms here. Essme could be the main danger to the selection given that her most recent effort at Lingfield can be upgraded after being hampered leaving the stalls.
Prediction : 1st Marchetti 2nd Essme 3rd Safe Passage

The return to a mile looks sure to suit Laura's Breeze who lost nothing in defeat when going down by a neck here last week and she could make her presence felt off an unchanged handicap mark. Recuerdame has been largely consistent in handicaps throughout the winter but will need the cards to fall in his favour to score here. Preference is for GOT NO DOLLARS who ran well when finishing fourth from a wide draw here recently and he may take advantage of the step back up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Got No Dollars 2nd Lauras Breeze 3rd Recuerdame

EL CORDOBES was soundly beaten into sixth on debut over course and distance last month but was sent off favourite, so clearly better was expected from the Frankel colt and he could open his account here with that experience expected to bring him on. Advert Rules ran well when fourth here last month and is open to plenty of improvement after only two starts. A big run can also be expected from Morning Light, who sports first-time blinkers after boiling over in the parade ring at Doncaster on debut and she shaped like the application of headgear would suit at this track on her most recent start. A smart effort would be required from both Bursinel and Calculate to get off the mark on debut in this competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st El Cordobes 2nd Morning Light 3rd Calculate

This drop back to a mile can help Claxton Bay, who faded in the straight over 10 furlongs at Chelmsford last month. Better can also be expected from the less-exposed WADACRE ICARUS on his first try in a handicap, with the step up to a mile looking like it will suit Charlie Johnston's colt and he gets a tentative vote. The step up in trip also promises to suit Wait And Hope, who has come up against some smart horses for the grade over 6f at Newcastle on his last two starts.
Prediction : 1st Wadacre Icarus 2nd Wait And Hope 3rd Claxton Bay

Popcorn Magic made a promising start to his career when winning cosily at Lingfield over 1m2f most recently and holds obvious claims here. However, BIRTHDAY ANGEL also ran with plenty of promise on debut when finishing fourth over that same C&D, keeping on all the way to the line. That form has been well advertised since, with the second-placed horse subsequently running with credit in a Listed race and, consequently, Archie Watson's charge gets the vote here. Reason To Pass may improve for the experience of his first run and shouldn't be dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Birthday Angel 2nd Popcorn Magic 3rd Reason To Pass

LARTIGUE made a promising start to his career when finishing second at Wolverhampton after displaying signs of inexperience. With that outing under his belt, it would be no surprise to see Karl Burke's colt go one better, especially as the third, Composite, who reopposes, got off the mark here subsequently and now has to give the selection 7lb. Little Peter outran his odds when runner-up on his Flat debut at Southwell and has to be respected, while a gelding operation might aid the cause of Rogue Lion.
Prediction : 1st Lartigue 2nd Composite 3rd Little Peter

DICKO THE LEGEND ran out an impressive winner when producing a career-best effort at Chelmsford last month and a 6lb rise is unlikely to stop the four-year-old from progressing further. Global Warning justified strong market support when scoring at Wolverhampton on his latest start and dropping in trip shouldn't be a major concern. Others to consider are Sir Rodneyredblood and Heartrate.
Prediction : 1st Dicko The Legend 2nd Global Warning 3rd Sir Rodneyredblood
