UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Arctician has been thereabouts in this grade at Lingfield the last twice and it would be no surprise to see him involved again off the same mark. However, the vote goes to MAYSONG, who bounced back to form to reach the frame at Chelmsford in January and his mark has been lowered by 1lb. Alice Haynes' gelding looks well placed to record his fifth career victory. Of the remainder, Silastar appeals most on his return to action.
Prediction : 1st Maysong 2nd Arctician 3rd Silastar

Trojan Storm has finished third on both starts since joining the Ian Williams stable and he helps set the standard with a rating of 75 so would be foolish to overlook. However, a chance can be taken on newcomer SITCOM, who goes for the in-form Charlie Johnston yard, is out of a mare who landed the Prix Royal-Oak, and is closely related to plenty of winners. Any market confidence behind City Saint on her first outing would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Sitcom 2nd Trojan Storm 3rd City Saint

Wake Up Harry responded well to first-time blinkers to make it two out of his last three at Wolverhampton, and he is likely to be on the premises again. However, he is 8lb higher than for the first of those victories so the vote goes to C&D winner MCCAULEY'S TAVERN, who was far from disgraced in third over track and trip last week and competes off an unchanged mark. Watermelon Sugar completes the shortlist on his return to the fray.
Prediction : 1st McCauleys Tavern 2nd Wake Up Harry 3rd Watermelon Sugar

SUPREME KING was sent off favourite on his first start over 6f since July 2022 when coming home in sixth at Wolverhampton, but after racing wide and hanging right, it may pay to be in a forgiving mood with David Evans' charge now 2lb lower on a right-handed track. Bora Bora was half a length behind Thank The Lord in third at Chelmsford but he was slowly away on that occasion and provided it doesn't become a habitual occurrence, he can reverse the form and emerge as the main danger to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Supreme King 2nd Bora Bora 3rd Thank The Lord

JUNGLE MAC makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark and after fairly bolting up at Chelmsford when still not looking like the finished article, he can make a bold bid with the promise of more to come. Fellow handicap debutant Nariko warrants respect on the back of a workmanlike success over C&D in September, since when she has left Kevin Ryan for Hugo Palmer. Mashadi also starts off for a new yard and having shaped with promise on multiple occasions last season, and on the back of a gelding operation, he holds claims of at least hitting the frame.
Prediction : 1st Jungle Mac 2nd Nariko 3rd Mashadi

FREETODREAM didn't get the rub of the green when fifth at Lingfield last month. The four-year-old looks to have a race of this nature within his compass, though, and a first success on the all-weather could be imminent. Heerathetrack was thwarted in his hat-trick bid when third at Kempton, but he should remain competitive off the same rating. Chico Dulce is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Freetodream 2nd Heerathetrack 3rd Chico Dulce

Swiss Rowe backed up his C&D victory with a very solid effort to finish a close-up third at Wolverhampton, and he is likely to be thereabouts again off the same rating. However, preference is for FIELDSMAN, who continues to be in great heart after finishing third over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month and he also remains on the same mark. Ravenglass is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fieldsman 2nd Swiss Rowe 3rd Ravenglass

ROGUE DREAM put underwhelming efforts in her first three starts behind her to hit the crossbar on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton last weekend, and Jack Jones' filly could prove very difficult to beat off the same mark. Lord Danielson was behind her at Dunstall Park, but is a player if he can reproduce the form of his Chelmsford second prior to that. Mister Mojito is worth a market check on his handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Dream 2nd Lord Danielson 3rd Mister Mojito

Eaux De Vie outran huge odds in first-time blinkers to fill the runner-up berth over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and she could get into contention off the same rating. However, FOREVER PROUD has performed very well in classified events on each of her last three starts and she could defy her mark of 51 now that she is back in a handicap. Heavenly Wish is worth a second look in first-time cheekpieces, with Rossa Ryan booked.
Prediction : 1st Forever Proud 2nd Eaux De Vie 3rd Heavenly Wish
