UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

GLEN HESTE produced by far the best performance of his career so far to fill the runner-spot over C&D earlier in the month and he has only been raised 1lb for that display. The son of Exceed And Excel could still have improvement in him on just his sixth career start and can get off the mark. Trois Blancs wasn't disgraced in fifth on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton and would be foolish to dismiss off a 2lb lower rating. Saxon Magic warrants a market check on his first start in the handicap ranks.
Prediction : 1st Glen Heste 2nd Trois Blancs 3rd Saxon Magic

CEPHALUS was just denied when sent off at odds-on at Southwell and now has a 4lb higher to contend with, but he has looked like one to follow since a gamble was landed at Lingfield and can make it two from his last three in a first-time visor. Green Power put in another solid effort to hit the crossbar at Wolverhampton so could have a say off a 1lb higher mark. Lunario completes the shortlst.
Prediction : 1st Cephalus 2nd Green Power 3rd Lunario

ALHATHER showed plenty of ability on debut when second over this trip at Southwell and is likely to have learned a great deal from that experience. The Kodiac colt should have any amount of improvement to come and he looks the one to beat. Godolphin's Native Approach is a well-related son of Too Darn Hot so he needs to be watched in the betting. 95,000-euro yearlings Cracking Gold and Forever Noah are others to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Alhather 2nd Native Approach 3rd Cracking Gold

STELLA HOGAN didn't enjoy the smoothest of passages when runner-up at Chelmsford last week and if running to a similar level on this quick turnaround, compensation may await. First-time cheekpieces could eke out enough improvement for Capuchinero to be involved in the shake-up and Alice Haynes' mare also warrants consideration in this company. Goldkit has fallen to a low enough mark to have a say in proceedings too, with the return to 7f appearing ideal.
Prediction : 1st Stella Hogan 2nd Capuchinero 3rd Goldkit

Miss Monte Carlo offered plenty to work with when touched off on debut here. Ed Walker's filly is a potential improver now facing another three furlongs, but newcomer SILENT GLANCE is still worth risking. The daughter of Bated Breath is a half-sister to six winners, with 1m6f Listed scorer Twitch the pick of the bunch, so the trip shouldn't be an issue. Wolverhampton third Hail The Flag should give another good account of herself.
Prediction : 1st Silent Glance 2nd Miss Monte Carlo 3rd Hail The Flag

The Bay Warrior left it late to get up over 1m3f here earlier this month so he is a likely candidate back over an extra furlong, but TURNER GIRL gets the vote. Ed Dunlop's mare is effectively 5lb lower than when narrowly denied at Newcastle last week, after taking into account Morgan Cole's claim, so she appears well placed to go one better. Cresta Cat merits close inspection ahead of his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Turner Girl 2nd The Bay Warrior 3rd Cresta Cat

There was little to separate BARREL AGED (winner) and De Vega's Warrior (second) when the pair met at Southwell last time, and the former is expected to confirm those placings en route to further success. Marco Botti's unexposed stayer has been raised just 2lb in the ratings for that victory and he looks sure to progress once again. Planet Legend is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Barrel Aged 2nd De Vegas Warrior 3rd Planet Legend
