UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

GEORGI GIRL ran out a very easy winner on her latest outing on Grand Military day at Sandown a fortnight ago and commands the utmost respect, especially with Elizabeth Gale's 8lb claim to aid her cause. Smurfette has shown promise on both hurdles outings to date and has to enter calculations making her handicap bow from the foot of the weights. Amelia's Dance and Mucuna are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Georgi Girl 2nd Smurfette 3rd Amelias Dance

Gentle Slopes made a winning start for Nicky Henderson over 2m here last month and the Listed bumper winner should have more to offer. That said, his stamina isn't entirely assured stepping back up in trip and MASACCIO could be in place to take full advantage. Alan King's grey has achieved a solid level of form, including when fifth in the Challow at Newbury, and he may well benefit from a sounder surface. Thunder N Lightnin appears capable of a decent showing based on his second at Taunton in December.
Prediction : 1st Masaccio 2nd Gentle Slopes 3rd Thunder N Lightnin

ERNEST GRAY clearly benefited from his chasing debut at Wetherby in November when justifying favouritism at Southwell last month. Open to further improvement, a 5lb rise is unlikely to be an inconvenience in what appears a winnable contest on paper. Pedley Wood is unbeaten in two starts over fences, with victories at Hereford and Taunton to his name, and he has to be of interest once again. Others to note include Shot Boii and James Jet.
Prediction : 1st Ernest Gray 2nd Pedley Wood 3rd Shot Boii

Wot You Wearing has found only the progressive Gyllen too strong on his last two outings and Freddie Gingell's 5lb claim puts the seven-year-old on an appealing mark. However, it may be worth chancing last year's winner of this contest, SAMI BEAR. Chris Gordon's gelding has shaped better than the beaten distance this season and he may be able to capitalise now racing off his last winning rating. Handicap debutants Katate Dori and Bentley's Return also warrant a second look.
Prediction : 1st Sami Bear 2nd Wot You Wearing 3rd Katate Dori

FIRST LORD DE CUET lost little in defeat when finding only subsequent scorer Anglers Crag too strong at Market Rasen last month and he's effectively 2lb well-in before his revised mark kicks in. The veteran ticks plenty of the right boxes and an overdue first success over fences could be imminent. Wincanton runner-up Iconic Muddle is a potential improver now upped in distance and he must also enter calculations, along with the returning Highstakesplayer.
Prediction : 1st First Lord De Cuet 2nd Iconic Muddle 3rd Highstakesplayer

OFF THE JURY was purchased for 170,000 euros a few days after winning between the flags in Ireland, and suggested that it could be money well spent when an eyecatching second in a Doncaster bumper. He can make it second-time lucky under Rules, although Electric Mason won't make it easy for him because his Ascot third was very encouraging. Ken Roy is a 92,000-euro half-brother to a Listed-placed hurdler in France and he is the most interesting of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Off The Jury 2nd Electric Mason 3rd Ken Roy

TRADECRAFT only found one too good on his first taste of competitive action at Ascot in November and the son of Blue Bresil looks to have every chance of going one better here. The Bluesman was purchased for 200,000 pounds after finishing second on his sole start between the flags so he has to be of interest. Others to consider are Night Stalker and White Riot.
Prediction : 1st Tradecraft 2nd The Bluesman 3rd White Riot
