UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Cinque Verde has to be respected following her success over 5f at Wolverhampton recently, but marginal preference is for PURE ANGEL. James Horton's mare has improved with each start since returning from a lengthy break and her close second last time suggests that she can score in a race of this nature. My Awele edges out Shallow to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Pure Angel 2nd Cinque Verde 3rd My Awele

PEARL OF HOPE showed plenty of promise when filling second place over a mile here a month ago and the step up in trip could help the daughter of Dubawi to go one better now. Blue Laced has made the frame on her last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Romantic Opera and Pink Petunia look next best.
Prediction : 1st Pearl Of Hope 2nd Blue Laced 3rd Romantic Opera

River Wharfe has to be of interest following his success over 7f at Wolverhampton a week ago, while similar comments apply to the recent C&D winner Stella Hogan. That said, the vote goes to SOLD THE DREAM, who was only beaten a nose by a well-handicapped rival when last seen over track and trip in November and a 1lb rise may underestimate the unexposed four-year-old
Prediction : 1st Sold The Dream 2nd River Wharfe 3rd Stella Hogan

Almosh'her dug deep to make a winning debut at Southwell last month and he must enter calculations on his follow-up bid. However, a 7lb penalty demands improvement from the son of Sea The Stars and FIREBLADE may have his measure. The John & Thady Gosden-trained gelding has posted several creditable efforts in defeat since his debut in September, most lately when runner-up at Newcastle, and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Market support for 350,000gns newcomer Amazonian would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Fireblade 2nd Almoshher 3rd Amazonian

PRINCE OF BEL LIR scored a shade cosily at Wolverhampton last Monday and a quick-fire double might be on the cards. Joseph Parr's charge looks capable of defying a 4lb penalty and he's preferred to McCauley's Tavern. The five-year-old arrives on the back of C&D second and another good effort is forecast racing off an unchanged mark. Brunel Charm has been shaping as if he has a race at this level within his compass and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Prince Of Bel Lir 2nd McCauleys Tavern 3rd Brunel Charm

Although still a maiden after seven career outings, ALSHIMALI looks ready to open his account. Tony Carroll's charge did little wrong when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield and Southwell last month and this looks a suitable opportunity for him to get his head in front. The downgraded Court Drive is a potential fly in the ointment racing off a career-low mark and she's feared most, ahead of dual C&D winner Man On A Mission.
Prediction : 1st Alshimali 2nd Court Drive 3rd Man On A Mission

DISTANT RUMBLE was far from disgraced when second over an extended 5f at Bath on his handicap debut in August and he shaped as if he was still in good heart when third off 2lb higher over that same C&D most recently. Tackling 6f for the first time off an unchanged mark, this unexposed sprinter looks the one to be with. Bank On Kent found only a subsequent winner too good over the minimum trip at Chelmsford last month and he must be of interest off the same mark, while Sabrimento also merits a second look for his top trainer/jockey combination.
Prediction : 1st Distant Rumble 2nd Bank On Kent 3rd Sabrimento

In what looks a trappy affair on paper, the tentative vote goes to COSMIC FORCE. George Boughey's charge was last seen finishing down the field over 7f at Southwell on just his second start in a handicap 17 days ago but, back down to 6f sporting a tongue-tie for the first time, this well-bred type could open his account off 2lb lower. Miakoda was sent off a warm order when posting a disappointing effort over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton earlier this month but, now donning first-time blinkers, it will be interesting to see if his supporters return. The unexposed Commendation is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cosmic Force 2nd Miakoda 3rd Commendation

A winner on his penultimate start, KING OF ITHACA stayed on strongly from the rear to finish second in a steadily run affair over 7f at Southwell latest and, nudged up 1lb for that, he gets the vote to return to winning ways. Groovy Baby has finished runner-up on her last four starts over further and this step back to 7f looks an interesting move for her. King David is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st King Of Ithaca 2nd Groovy Baby 3rd King David
