UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

The Harry Eustace stable has a decent record around here and this looks like an ideal opportunity for HARRY DID to break the maiden. The son of Exceed And Excel improved from his first to his second start when runner-up at Newcastle and may have too much for promising Wolverhampton fourth Auric, as well as Kodi Lion, who has been gelded since his debut third at Newcastle last summer. Sky Warrior has a much tougher task on his hands under a 7lb penalty after scoring at Doncaster on his second appearance.
Prediction : 1st Harry Did 2nd Auric 3rd Kodi Lion

A determined winner over C&D from the reopposing Julia Augusta back in November, CHOISYA was a relatively progressive filly last season and she looks ready for her first go at black type. Now in the hands of James Ferguson, Many Tears is interesting on the back of a Listed success at Dundalk, while Mystic Pearl should be fit and firing after a couple of spins at Meydan. Irish raider Adelaise may be winless since scoring here over two years ago, but she has run in some highly competitive races.
Prediction : 1st Choisya 2nd Many Tears 3rd Mystic Pearl

Favourite for a competitive handicap at Musselburgh last week before the meeting was abandoned, CHILLINGHAM has been rerouted to this valuable contest and dropping back in trip could be ideal, having travelled with plenty of zest when runner-up over 1m6f at Wolverhampton. Cemhaan may have a tough task off top weight, but he won easily here last May and must enter calculations along with the unexposed Old Harrovian and Intinso, who looked much improved when scoring at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Chillingham 2nd Intinso 3rd Cemhaan

Having found the Irish Cesarewitch and Prix Royal-Oak too much of a stretch at the end of last season, C&D winner NOVEL LEGEND should prove far more competitive in these calmer waters. James Fanshawe's inmate was a progressive stayer prior to those tall assignments and a fifth career victory could be in the offing. Sweet Fantasy has been in fine form over the sticks since joining James Owen and she's feared most now reverting to the all-weather, ahead of recent Lingfield scorer Aqwaam.
Prediction : 1st Novel Legend 2nd Sweet Fantasy 3rd Aqwaam

There was a lot to like about DEVOTED QUEEN's debut victory at Newmarket in October and another impressive performance here could even see her take up her engagement in the 1000 Guineas. Les Bleus posted some creditable efforts in defeat towards the end of last season's campaign and Richard Hughes' filly isn't taken lightly on her all-weather debut. Marcella and Ahlain aren't out of it either.
Prediction : 1st Devoted Queen 2nd Les Bleus 3rd Marcella

A fascinating contest in which it is difficult to rule out anything, so only a tentative vote can go to VALVANO. The expensive Night Of Thunder colt, a taking winner on his debut at Nottingham in October, holds some lofty entries and this looks to be a good springboard en route to later targets. Notable Speech defeated subsequent Listed scorer Cuban Tiger over C&D in February and he is the main danger. Witness Stand, who finished a good second in the Horris Hill, heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Valvano 2nd Notable Speech 3rd Witness Stand

AZURE ANGEL was able to maintain her unbeaten all-weather record when recording an eyecatching success at Newcastle in February, and a subsequent 4lb rise might not be enough to stop the progressive daughter of Harry Angel. Knebworth responded well to first-time cheekpieces when on target at Doncaster and must be respected, along with Ferrous, who beat him at Wolverhampton, and the returning Fresh.
Prediction : 1st Azure Angel 2nd Knebworth 3rd Ferrous
