UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

THE GLEN ROVERS put in his best work late on when scoring a shade comfortably in a deeper race over 1m3f here last month and he looks well capable of making light of a 6lb rise. Sir Geoff Hurst split two potentially useful sorts when runner-up over an extended 1m4f at Newcastle and a prominent showing on his handicap debut would come as no surprise. Moel Arthur's official rating continues to fall and his turn in the winner's enclosure might not be far away.
Prediction : 1st The Glen Rovers 2nd Sir Geoff Hurst 3rd Moel Arthur

Godolphin appear to hold a strong hand and AEGEAN PRINCE looks the one to focus on. Charlie Appleby's son of Dubawi shaped with plenty of promise, despite being turned over at short odds, over 1m2f at Chelmsford on debut and with the promise of more to come, he gets the nod to score at the second time of asking. Tribal Act, a gelded son of Sea The Stars, looks the pick of the newcomers and can emerge as the main danger to his stable companion. Kentucky River completes the shortlist, for all that improvement will be required if he is to come out on top.
Prediction : 1st Aegean Prince 2nd Tribal Act 3rd Kentucky River

GLOBAL WARNING impressed when scoring a shade cosily at Lingfield and then shaped like he was still in good form, finishing third at Wolverhampton off this 2lb higher figure. He gets a tentative vote to return to winning ways in what looks a trappy affair. Dayman met with trouble in running when fourth last time and is respected most out of the remainder, although last week's Southwell runner-up Charlie Mason is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Global Warning 2nd Dayman 3rd Charlie Mason

Pearl Of Hope heads the list of those with experience and although well held in a Newmarket novice stakes on her debut in September, the daughter of Dubawi can play a leading role with a step forward. However, SANDIRELLA, a half-sister to French 1000 Guineas winner Mangoustine, boasts an attractive pedigree and is a most intriguing debutant for the Gosdens to introduce at this time of year. Glittering Surf is another interesting newcomer to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Sandirella 2nd Pearl Of Hope 3rd Glittering Surf

CASA DE SALINAS is an 80,000gns full-sister to a 7f juvenile winner on the all-weather and would be very noteworthy if she attracts support in the betting for her racecourse debut. Similar comments apply to Chinkara, who has stacks of potential in her pedigree and also has to be of high interest. Unex Texas and Zabeel Rain add further spice to what could be an informative maiden.
Prediction : 1st Casa De Salinas 2nd Chinkara 3rd Unex Texas

HELM ROCK gained compensation for a Chelmsford near-miss when he landed a class 4 handicap at Southwell and won't need much of a step forward to follow up off just 3lb higher. Fast Society, who has won two of his three previous starts, is a must for a betting check on his handicap debut. Metallo has been highly tried and is an intriguing each-way option to consider. Kalamunda completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Helm Rock 2nd Fast Society 3rd Metallo

Unbeaten in two starts over C&D, FIRE DEMON may have disappointed when last in action at York in May but he has gone well fresh in the past. A mark of 93 still looks manageable and he gets the vote ahead of Ingra Tor, who was narrowly denied a double at Wolverhampton in October. Successful over 7f at Lingfield when showing plenty of pace, Havanagreattime may be suited by the drop in trip, while Aramis Grey and Sommelier cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Fire Demon 2nd Ingra Tor 3rd Havanagreattime

MERRIMACK remains relatively unexposed on the all-weather and with Sean Levey booked again in the saddle, he looks the one to be with after a promising second at Chelmsford. Placed on each of his last two starts over C&D, Big R appears to be a key threat, as is Grenham Bay, who has dropped to a mark 4lb lower than his last success, which came over C&D in March. Completing the shortlist Shalaa Asker and Zu Run.
Prediction : 1st Merrimack 2nd Big R 3rd Grenham Bay

BEAULD AS BRASS has run a couple of eyecatching races when staying on from off the pace since joining new connections, and stepping up to 1m3f looks like a good move. The four-year-old has dropped back to his last winning mark, which may be enough to help him see off Solanna, who was a highly encouraging third at Lingfield on his most recent outing. Major Major and The Pug are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Beauld As Brass 2nd Solanna 3rd The Pug
