UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Model Approach took a big step forward from his first start over hurdles when bolting up at Sedgefield earlier in the month and he should mount a serious challenge, despite his 6lb penalty. However, the vote goes to USUARIO AMIGO, who is rated the highest of these on the Flat and shed his maiden tag at Brighton last time. If he can transfer that ability to the smaller obstacles, he could be the one to beat. Cracker Star completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Usuario Amigo 2nd Model Approach 3rd Cracker Star

ALIEN STORM made a strong impression when winning on chase debut at Plumpton last month and he might have plenty more to offer. Charlie Longsdon's six-year-old was given an 8lb rise for that success, which could prove to be on the lenient side. Idy Wood finished third in a Grade 2 event over hurdles at this venue in February and is an interesting contender on his first start over fences, while Lipa K is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Alien Storm 2nd Idy Wood 3rd Lipa K

SEEYOUINMYDREAMS has made light work of her rivals in both starts this year and she sets a lofty standard for the others to aim at. Paul Nicholls' six-year-old might improve further for this extra distance and she could prove tough to beat. Tribal Glory filled the runner-up spot at Newton Abbot last month and that level of form makes him the main threat, while any market confidence behind Circuit Breaker would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Seeyouinmydreams 2nd Tribal Glory 3rd Circuit Breaker

A tentative vote goes to FRERE D'ARMES, who shaped well for a long way on his return over further at Worcester last month. A previous winner over C&D, the seven-year-old should be suited by dropping back in trip and he may be able to strike at the main expense of Beau Balko, who was consistent in this sphere last season, despite only scoring once. A capable sort over the smaller obstacles, Holly is one to monitor for market support on her chasing bow.
Prediction : 1st Frere dArmes 2nd Beau Balko 3rd Holly

A taking winner of this contest last year, and runner-up over the same track and trip to Constitution Hill in December, RUBAUD sets the standard. A highly progressive mare last season, which included a Listed success at Punchestown, Casa No Mento looks to be the main danger for in-form connections, while last year's third First Street and Authorized Art are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Rubaud 2nd Casa No Mento 3rd First Street

Having offered plenty of encouragement on his chasing bow when second at Newbury in January, BLAIRGOWRIE makes plenty of appeal on his return to action. The lightly-raced eight-year-old will appreciate the return to his last winning trip and he's narrowly preferred to dual C&D winner Killer Kane. Joe Tizzard's charge is now 4lb below his last successful mark and a drop into class 4 company is likely to see him involved. Regarde may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Blairgowrie 2nd Killer Kane 3rd Regarde

FAR SIGHT justified strong support in the market when romping to victory at Wincanton on Thursday. Harry Derham's charge scored despite looking green under pressure and he is more than capable of defying a 7lb penalty. The biggest threat may be posed by Rebel Intentions, who returned to form with a close-up second on his reappearance at Stratford 13 days ago. Thahab Ifraj is also forecast to figure after finishing runner-up at Exeter recently.
Prediction : 1st Far Sight 2nd Rebel Intentions 3rd Thahab Ifraj
