UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Many of these have the potential to progress now pitched into nurseries for the first time, including PENELOPE VALENTINE, who has shown promise in maiden/novice events. An opening mark of 58 looks fair and with a step up to 7f likely so suit, she might provide some value. Cassandraalexandra had been knocking on the door prior to her recent Bath success and she must be respected under a penalty, while others to note include Crocodile River and Poke The Bear.
Prediction : 1st Penelope Valentine 2nd Cassandraalexandra 3rd Crocodile River

Kathleen's Glory was a beaten favourite on her debut last month but she's in good hands and is likely to progress. The market can guide regarding the newcomers, but WILD ANGEL gets the vote. The Too Darn Hot filly, a close relation of the classy Space Blues, looks the part on paper and it would come as no surprise were she to make an immediate impact. Chadleeny will want further in time but she is an interesting contender nevertheless, while Motabaah isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Wild Angel 2nd Kathleens Glory 3rd Chadleeny

Airshow returned to form with a commanding success at Salisbury last month and, though respected from 5lb higher, a wide draw could scupper his chances today. With that in mind, preference is for MONSIEUR PATAT, who arrives having recorded three wins from his last five starts. He was raised 4lb for the most recent of those victories but remains well treated on past exploits, and this is not the deepest of contests. Soar Above is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Monsieur Patat 2nd Airshow 3rd Soar Above

MAHATO impressed when scoring in the style of a useful prospect on his debut over 6f at Windsor last October and, with excuses for his low-key effort when fourth over 7f at Newcastle the following month, he gets the vote to land the spoils on his return to action. There is lots to like about Zip It Up on paper and she may emerge as the main danger to the selection, although the application of a tongue-tie on her debut may be an ominous sign of what is to come. Blue Point filly Dancing Sapphire is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mahato 2nd Zip It Up 3rd Dancing Sapphire

James Tate has his string in fine fettle at present and his BEYOND WORDS looks the one to beat here. The daughter of Frankel dispatched of a subsequent winner when fairly bolting up on her handicap debut over a mile at Southwell last month and an 8lb rise may not be enough to prevent her following up. War Chant showed a likeable attitude when scoring gamely on his penultimate start over an extended mile at Nottingham and, after a not getting a clear run when third at Doncaster most recently, he can give the selection most to think about. Last-time-out winner Zipster is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Beyond Words 2nd War Chant 3rd Zipster

The form of Cadogan Place's debut victory reads very well in the context of this race and he wasn't disgraced in the Chester Vase most recently, so he must enter calculations. That said, preference is for SHADER. The son of Shamardal left a low-key debut effort behind when bolting up over 1m4f at Southwell recently and, with the promise of more to come, he looks the one to side with. Of the newcomers, Fireblade appeals the most and the betting market may provide more clues.
Prediction : 1st Shader 2nd Cadogan Place 3rd Fireblade

Warmonger found only a fellow progressive rival too strong at Southwell last time out and another prominent showing looks likely. However, a further 3lb rise in the ratings will make regaining the winning thread tougher for the son of Camelot and recent extended 2m Newcastle winner CLOCKWATCHER shades the vote. Charlie Johnston's colt looks to have more to offer over staying distances and a 3lb nudge up in the ratings is far from insurmountable. Stable debutant Teorie is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Clockwatcher 2nd Warmonger 3rd Teorie

DARKZIDEOFTHEMOON lost little in defeat when runner-up behind a subsequent winner over C&D in June and a breakthrough victory could be imminent. A 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks negligible for the four-year-old and first-time cheekpieces are a welcome addition. The biggest threat may emerge from Seraphic, who arrives on the back of a close-up third at Windsor. Budding is also reverting to the all-weather having posted a solid second at Ffos Las last month and she may have a say as well.
Prediction : 1st Darkzideofthemoon 2nd Seraphic 3rd Budding
