UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

GOBLET OF FIRE remains in cracking form, despite just failing to complete the hat-trick at Newbury last time, and returning to a venue where he won in June, he looks the one to beat. Oslo reverts to the Flat following a string of solid efforts over timber and he must enter calculations, while Blueflagflyinghigh shouldn't be too far away either.
Prediction : 1st Goblet Of Fire 2nd Oslo 3rd Blueflagflyinghigh

PERRINE stepped up on her debut performance when fourth over C&D last month and, with further improvement on the cards, she could make it third-time lucky. Any market support for her stablemate Maenad would be interesting, although Kieran Shoemark presumably had the choice, while William Haggas looks to have a couple of solid chances with Russian Crescendo and Dramatic Quest. Nowhere also has claims on the form of her debut effort.
Prediction : 1st Perrine 2nd Russian Crescendo 3rd Dramatic Quest

I MAXIMUS was well supported ahead of his racecourse debut at Newbury and he shaped with tons of promise, staying on nicely into third after a slow start. With that experience now under his belt, he could prove a tough nut to crack. Macedonian rates the biggest threat following his pleasing introduction at Newmarket, while Pontefract third Dash Dizzy also warrants respect. Borcano and Belgrave are a couple of interesting newcomers.
Prediction : 1st I Maximus 2nd Macedonian 3rd Dash Dizzy

Sheikh Raj might be the one to beat after a promising second-placed debut over C&D last month and Tom Clover's colt is likely to put that experience to good use. However, it's possible that BYBLOS, a half-brother to Phoenix/Irish 2,000 Guineas winner Siskin, may have too much class. Market support for the son of Frankel would increase confidence, while fellow newcomer One More must also be watched in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Byblos 2nd Sheikh Raj 3rd One More

Dual all-weather winner CRIMSON ANGEL arrives on the back of a solid fourth at Windsor and a return to Polytrack may prove fruitful. Clive Cox's filly lurks on an attractive mark and she may be able to overcome an awkward draw. Shallow was too bad to be true when a well-beaten fifth at Chelmsford in April and an improved bid is forecast on her reappearance. She may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the downgraded Princess Shabnam.
Prediction : 1st Crimson Angel 2nd Shallow 3rd Princess Shabnam

Narrowly denied by Ashariba at Chelmsford on his penultimate start, for which he is 1lb better off, HISTORIC CITY improved since to score comfortably at Hamilton and a mark of 79 on his return to a handicap could prove workable. A promising fourth on his most recent outing over 1m2f at Windsor, Al Ameed is of interest on his handicap bow, while New Kings Road went close at Newmarket when trying to supplement a Windsor triumph and has to be considered closely.
Prediction : 1st Historic City 2nd Ashariba 3rd New Kings Road

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including a narrow reversal when worn down late on at Newmarket last time out, STAR MIND deserves a change in luck and this looks like a decent opportunity with Hector Crouch getting back in the saddle. C&D winner Flag Carrier can give her the most to think about, with Aljezur and Havana Touch dangerous too. The latter went close to scoring over track and trip, for which he has been raised 4lb.
Prediction : 1st Star Mind 2nd Flag Carrier 3rd Havana Touch
