UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with FIFTH COLUMN, but it might just pay to do so. The son of Kingman shaped better than the bare result suggests when a running-on seventh over C&D on debut and, with soft ground a likely excuse for his subsequent low-key effort at Ascot, he can gain a breakthrough victory now returning to Polytrack. Consolidation has already shown a smart level of form in his three career starts and another bold bid is forecast. This step back in trip can see Play Me to better effect and he is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Fifth Column 2nd Consolidation 3rd Play Me

SANDS OF MARRA built on a promising debut when successful at Windsor and, after then being outclassed in the Molecomb at Glorious Goodwood, he gets the vote to resume his progression with his sights lowered. Aviation Time wasn't disgraced when fourth over 5f at Windsor on Monday and, stepping up in trip, she can emerge as the main danger to the selection. Of the newcomers, Unfortunate Heir appeals most.
Prediction : 1st Sands Of Marra 2nd Aviation Time 3rd Unfortunate Heir

IZIPIZI's debut second over C&D last year reads very well in the context of this race and, on the back of a gallant runner-up effort behind a classy filly at Newbury, she can gain a breakthrough victory here. Native Souvenir kept on strongly to make a winning start to her career at Ffos Las last month and it remains to be seen where her ceiling lies. L'air De Panache is also noted on her introduction.
Prediction : 1st Izipizi 2nd Native Souvenir 3rd Lair De Panache

Top Of The Class made the most of stall one when landing the spoils over track and trip last month. However, the combination of a 4lb higher rating and a much higher draw could be enough to prevent her from following up. With that in mind, KING OF FURY may gain a belated breakthrough victory after several creditable efforts in defeat in recent months. Beauty Generation also warrants consideration on his return to Polytrack.
Prediction : 1st King Of Fury 2nd Top Of The Class 3rd Beauty Generation

A return to Polytrack saw GOT NO DOLLARS scythe through the field to score at Chelmsford last month. A 2lb nudge up the ratings looks more than workable for Stuart Williams' gelding and a seventh career victory on the all-weather could beckon. Calanthe made a successful handicap debut at Lingfield last week and warrants respect under a 6lb penalty. He may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Nazalan, who sports a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Got No Dollars 2nd Calanthe 3rd Nazalan

Having been described as 'black type' by Cieren Fallon after her debut victory at Redcar and then following up under a penalty over C&D, an opening mark of 85 may prove lenient for COGNISANCE. William Haggas' filly ticks plenty of the right boxes and a hat-trick is on the cards. An improved performance is forecast from the downgraded D Flawless, who could prove dangerous if allowed an easy lead. Last month's track-and-trip novice winner Upscale enters handicaps off what looks a workable rating and further progression cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Cognisance 2nd D Flawless 3rd Upscale

LIOSA arrives here on the back of two second-placed finishes over this distance at Wolverhampton and the four-year-old has been found an ideal opportunity to go one better in this company. Lilkian's third at Lingfield a month ago suggests that he may be the main threat to the selection, although Havana Sky and Profitman are others who merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Liosa 2nd Lilkian 3rd Havana Sky

PURE OF HEART appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over 1m4f at Lingfield last week and the unexposed three-year-old is 2lb well-in here, despite carrying a 6lb penalty. With that in mind, she gets the vote ahead of Baroque Buoy, who also won on his most recent outing and may have more to offer. Others to note are Orbital, Tortured Soul and Just An Hour.
Prediction : 1st Pure Of Heart 2nd Baroque Buoy 3rd Orbital

ANGEL ON HIGH bounced back to form when second over 1m2f at Brighton last time and a reproduction of that level of form off the same mark would give the seven-year-old a big chance here. Miss Dubai is a consistent performer who is likely to be in the mix once again, while the unexposed Drouthy Neebor and Fravanco complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Angel On High 2nd Miss Dubai 3rd Drouthy Neebor
