UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

AIDAN ANDABETTIN may not have shown much in recent starts, but he should be suited by stepping back up in trip and returning to a track where he ran well when fourth in July. The booking of champion jockey Oisin Murphy is another plus so he gets the vote ahead of Dion Baker and C&D winner Treacherous, who had been in fine form prior to a disappointing effort when upped in grade at Bath last month.
Prediction : 1st Aidan Andabettin 2nd Treacherous 3rd Dion Baker

FORT AUGUSTUS has steadily improved with each start and this looks like an ideal opportunity to break the maiden following a strong runner-up effort over C&D. Behind him on that occasion were Skellig Isle (third) and Sweet Sonata (fourth), who are expected to be thereabouts again. Curzon is another to note on his nursery debut following an encouraging second at Nottingham.
Prediction : 1st Fort Augustus 2nd Sweet Sonata 3rd Curzon

Narrowly denied over C&D in July and a respectable fourth over 1m here last time out, LOCH LEVEN must enter calculations as she sets the standard and has experience on her side. Add to that Oisin Murphy is doing the steering in the plate and she boasts sound claims. Newcomers Crest Of Light, Penfolds Grange and Transparent should be monitored for market support.
Prediction : 1st Loch Leven 2nd Crest Of Light 3rd Transparent

CHAR displayed plenty of promise when filling second place on his debut over this distance at Salisbury earlier in the month and Roger Varian's colt is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Bouvier also brings strong form claims to the table, but could be vulnerable to the less-exposed selection. Any market support for El Bosh on his racecourse bow would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Char 2nd Bouvier 3rd El Bosh

QAZAQ has been off the track since winning on his debut over this trip at Chelmsford in December, but the son of Kingman has been found an ideal opportunity to maintain his unbeaten record. Tex is the pick of the rest with experience but has plenty to find with the selection if he's on form, so the main threat may come from the newcomer Huntly Lodge.
Prediction : 1st Qazaq 2nd Huntly Lodge 3rd Tex

BERRY CLEVER had plenty in hand when winning over C&D last week and a repeat of that effort may be good enough to take this contest as well, despite a 6lb penalty. Recent Southwell second Rawaasi is likely to be in the mix once again, while King David edges out Old Chums and Thorntonledale Max to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Berry Clever 2nd Rawaasi 3rd King David

RACING DEMON showed a likeable attitude when scoring over a mile at Bath and, after faring best of those held up when an admirable third over the same C&D subsequently, he gets the vote to return to winning ways off an unchanged mark. Ten Commitments wasn't able to show his true colours when sixth over 7f at Chelmsford and could bounce back now eased 1lb. Argentali didn't cut much ice on her handicap debut over 7f at Lingfield, but she may be capable of better now sporting first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Racing Demon 2nd Ten Commitments 3rd Argentali

Two from two in his career, DOLCE COURAGE looked a gelding to keep firmly on side when scoring at Newcastle last season, pulling clear with the runner-up. Provided he is fully tuned up on his return from a prolonged absence, he looks the one to side with now making his handicap debut for the in-form Gosden team. Whitcombe Rockstar impressed when bringing up a hat-trick in the London Mile Final over C&D and merits respect off 6lb higher, while the class-dropping Gorak can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Dolce Courage 2nd Whitcombe Rockstar 3rd Gorak

CADOGAN PLACE was tapped for toe at a crucial stage when a staying-on third over 1m4f on his return from a break here last month and, tackling 2m for the first time, the promising son of Frankel looks well capable of making a successful handicap bow. Runner-up behind an in-form stayer over track and trip, Red Flyer looks the main danger off an unchanged mark, although Duke Of Oxford warrants respect off just 1lb higher than when third in the Northumberland Plate on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Cadogan Place 2nd Red Flyer 3rd Duke Of Oxford
