UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

ROSY HOPE makes a considerable amount of appeal being a half-sister to Nomadic Empire, who was Listed-placed as a two-year-old, and she represents a yard that did particularly well with their juveniles in the early part of last season. Kodibeat boasts a sharp pedigree and commands respect on her first career start, while Theatrically may have benefited from her debut when fifth in the Brocklesby.
Prediction : 1st Rosy Hope 2nd Kodibeat 3rd Theatrically

There was a lot to like about GOODWOOD ODYSSEY's debut success at Salisbury because he did plenty wrong. The son of Ulysses is expected to have learned plenty from that initial experience and gets the vote to make a winning return. Jayyash still displayed signs of greenness when runner-up at Southwell and is capable of taking another step forward. Approved Star, a 200,000-pound purchase at the Goffs UK Premier sale in August 2022, and American Riddle are a pair of newcomers who could be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Goodwood Odyssey 2nd Jayyash 3rd Approved Star

ELLADONNA clearly needed time to develop and rewarded her trainer's patience when justifying strong market support on her handicap bow over C&D in December. The drop in trip also appeared to bring about improvement and a 4lb rise doesn't look to be particularly harsh. Hiromichi's 5lb penalty for his Lingfield victory on Friday is negated by George Bass taking 3lb off so he has to enter calculations. Brasil Power and Lady Of Arabia appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Elladonna 2nd Hiromichi 3rd Brasil Power

Von Baer is respected but doesn't look particularly well treated for his handicap debut, while Jackson Street and Berkshire Nugget both need to improve to shake off their maiden status. Already a dual 7f winner, the consistent MR BALOO drops back down in class and with Alec Voikhansky claiming a valuable 5lb, the Richard Hannon-trained colt can make a flying start to his three-year-old campaign. The hat-trick seeking Silver Trumpet is feared most, despite going up 4lb for his latest win.
Prediction : 1st Mr Baloo 2nd Silver Trumpet 3rd Von Baer

GOING THE DISTANCE looked a bright prospect when winning two of his three starts as a juvenile and could to be hard to beat if stepping up in trip initiates further progress. Reunited with Rossa Ryan, who was in the saddle when he justified favouritism in a novice event at Nottingham when last seen, trainer Ralph Beckett has taken steps to ensure continuity for the now-gelded son of Lope De Vega and he sets a good standard on his handicap debut. True Wisdom and Cloud Free complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Going The Distance 2nd True Wisdom 3rd Cloud Free

It is hard to look past THE CRAFTYMASTER, who had a subsequent winner behind him in third when making it seven victories from his last eight starts at Newcastle and, nudged up a further 4lb, he gets the vote to show his rivals the way home once more. Moel Arthur was the subject of some market support when second over C&D on his return from a prolonged absence and he cannot be dismissed, although the bounce factor has to be a slight concern. The class-dropping Red Flyer should find this company more manageable than when finishing fifth at Lingfield on Good Friday.
Prediction : 1st The Craftymaster 2nd Moel Arthur 3rd Red Flyer

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with MR BOSON, but it might pay to do so. Hughie Morrison's charge weakened to finish down the field at Wolverhampton but, prior to that, he was an excellent second in a higher grade at Kempton and he sports a hood for the first time now. Fravanco has hit the woodwork on his last couple of starts and races off his last winning mark, while Be Fair is a strong stayer and if the early fractions are brisk, he can play a part.
Prediction : 1st Mr Boson 2nd Fravanco 3rd Be Fair
