UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Bramble Jelly made a victorious start over hurdles at Leicester last week and it would be no surprise to see her have a say, despite her 7lb penalty. However, MOUTARDE looks the way to go. Anthony Charlton's three-year-old was well beaten into fourth in a Grade 2 event at Cheltenham last time, but this is a much easier assignment. Therefore, he is taken to get off the mark, while any market support for Red Cloud would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Moutarde 2nd Bramble Jelly 3rd Red Cloud

MIAMI MAGIC was an impressive 10-length victor on his hurdles debut at Fakenham last month and he could have plenty of improvement in him. The son of Leading Light carries a penalty for that triumph but, considering the authority he showed that day, he could prove tough to beat. Groovy Blue struck in a bumper at Fontwell in May and would be foolish to overlook on his first start over the smaller obstacles, while the 58,000-euro purchase Marengo Bay warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Miami Magic 2nd Groovy Blue 3rd Marengo Bay

GIDLEIGH PARK lost his unbeaten record when a well-held sixth in the Albert Barlett at the Cheltenham Festival in March, but the six-year-old remains an exciting prospect now making his chase bow. Harry Fry's charge takes a sizeable drop in trip, but his class can see him through. Iberico Lord failed to fire in the Champion Hurdle when last seen but won the Greatwood and Betfair before that and must be taken seriously. Leave Of Absence can beat The Four Sixes home for third.
Prediction : 1st Gidleigh Park 2nd Iberico Lord 3rd Leave Of Absence

More positive tactics saw an improved performance from SHANTOU EXPRESS when finding only a subsequent winner too strong at Warwick earlier this month. A 4lb rise in the ratings might not prevent another bold bid on that evidence and compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat is fellow in-form rival Craven Bay, who lost little in defeat when thwarted in his hat-trick bid at Fontwell 17 days ago. Heaven Smart looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shantou Express 2nd Craven Bay 3rd Heaven Smart

The progressive KATEIRA would have likely finished closer but for a crucial mistake at the second-last hurdle in the Grade 2 bet365 Hurdle at Wetherby 23 days ago. That was the Dan Skelton-trained mare's seasonal debut and any sort of improvement is sure to make her tough to beat dropping into Listed company. The ratings suggest that triple hurdle winner Della Casa Lunga may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Pawapuri.
Prediction : 1st Kateira 2nd Della Casa Lunga 3rd Pawapuri

Having made a winning reappearance over 2m2f here last month, Bourbali warrants respect. A 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid from the seven-year-old, but THE EDGAR WALLACE could be worth chancing fresh. Kim Bailey's charge boasts a fine record on his first start after a break and he makes plenty of appeal dropping back into class 3 company. Market support for Doctor Ken on his return from a 616-day absence would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st The Edgar Wallace 2nd Bourbali 3rd Doctor Ken

A switch to hurdles proved just the tonic for NON STOP when landing the spoils on his return to action at Plumpton earlier this month. Joe Tizzard's inmate is entitled to improve for that seasonal debut effort and a 5lb higher mark may not prevent him from following up. King William Rufus has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings and the seven-year-old is expected to give another good account. The downgraded Luttrell Lad is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Non Stop 2nd King William Rufus 3rd Luttrell Lad
