UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

BOSPHORUS ROSE outran big odds to finish a close-up third over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and she is likely to have plenty more to offer on only her second start. The daughter of Golden Horn takes a step up in trip and looks the one to beat. Justenzia could only manage sixth on her debut over track and trip, but she might get closer with that experience under her belt. Any market confidence behind Tracy Lord should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Bosphorus Rose 2nd Justenzia 3rd Tracy Lord

Footwork was far from disgraced when he finished third on his nursery debut over C&D last time and he should mount a bold bid off a 1lb lower mark. However, the vote goes to ANGELICA BAY, who has filled the runner-up spot in each of her three starts in novice company and might be able to exploit an opening rating of 75. Reddeef completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Angelica Bay 2nd Footwork 3rd Reddeef

BERMUDA LONGTAIL ran a debut full of promise when second over 6f at this venue earlier in the month and she is likely to take a big step forward from that display. With the prospect of more to come, she could prove tough to beat. Dash Of Azure has taken the silver medal home on each of her two starts to date and can pose the main threat, while Desert Spring needs to be monitored closely in the market on her debut.
Prediction : 1st Bermuda Longtail 2nd Dash Of Azure 3rd Desert Spring

OLIVIA JANE was beaten only a neck at Wolverhampton on debut despite failing to get a clear run. She looks assured to launch a serious challenge on that evidence and is marginally preferred to Choreographic. The latter was took a step forward here last time, when giving the strong impression this extra distance will suit, while Season Of Light will likely find this less competitive than her debut assignment at Newmarket and is one to note.
Prediction : 1st Olivia Jane 2nd Choreographic 3rd Season Of Light

Raffles Angel recorded a double when successful at Yarmouth last month and can feature once again returning to the all-weather. However, COUP DE FORCE looks a more likely candidate to land a hat-trick given Stuart Kittow's five-year-old scored over course and distance before winning a shade cosily at Southwell on her latest start. Stanley Spencer is progressing nicely and makes more appeal than Treacherous of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Coup De Force 2nd Raffles Angel 3rd Stanley Spencer

DAMASCUS STEEL tends to save his best for artificial surfaces and won here in August before a comfortable victory at Newcastle last time. The son of Mastercraftsman looks worth sticking with and can confirm latest form with third-placed Appier, despite a 3lb rise. The latter may well feature once again, although the less exposed Wiltshire Wonder looks a bigger threat with progression likely after winning at Southwell on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Damascus Steel 2nd Wiltshire Wonder 3rd Appier

MARCHETTI may have been expensive to follow of late but, as she has a good record at this venue and ran well for Alex Voikhansky when a game third at Bath most recently, this consistent mare is given another chance to return to winning ways. No News and Blue Collar Lad are closely matched judged by their encounter at Lingfield last month and, on the revised terms, could chase the selection home in that order.
Prediction : 1st Marchetti 2nd No News 3rd Blue Collar Lad

Purple Poppy ended a lengthy losing run in first-time blinkers when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago and she commands respect despite a 5lb higher mark. However, this could be a good time to catch the versatile SMASHER, who handles Polytrack and is worth chancing from just 2lb above his last winning mark on his first start after wind surgery. Art Fantastique and Vaunted complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Smasher 2nd Purple Poppy 3rd Art Fantastique

Previous C&D winner BEGGARMAN is on a competitive rating and has plenty going for him at this trip, after finding winning elusive over 1m6f of late. Rob Honrby knows the selection well and it would be no surprise to see the partnership take this contest. Kissininthebackrow is noteworthy back on the Flat and could go well from a handy mark. Trojan Truth and Grey Fox are other key players.
Prediction : 1st Beggarman 2nd Kissininthebackrow 3rd Trojan Truth
