UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

SOUND JANET kept on well over the extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton on her racecourse bow last month, and the daughter of Nathaniel is expected to score now upped in trip. The hood is a slight concern, though, and Tribal Act might be the one to exploit any chinks in her armour. Fifth having been slowly away over C&D on his debut, the gelded son of Sea The Stars should be more streetwise. Market support for newcomer Staffordshire should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Sound Janet 2nd Tribal Act 3rd Staffordshire

The money has been down for KAARANAH on his last two starts and, although the seven-year-old has yet to reward his supporters, this might be the time to catch him. John Butler's gelding has been weak in the finish over 1m2f and the previous C&D winner looks set to relish a drop to the mile. Beauty Generation, who was narrowly denied over track and trip a fortnight ago, is perhaps the main threat, ahead of Fihrayn and Chourmo.
Prediction : 1st Kaaranah 2nd Beauty Generation 3rd Fihrayn

Chemical sets the standard with an official rating of 78, but he's had chances and hopes appear to be pinned on the first-time visor having a positive effect. Night Of Thunder colt Zeus Olympios makes obvious appeal in a race of this nature, but fellow newcomer ANCIENT POWER gets the nod. The 28,000gns purchase looks set to relish this initial test of stamina and it would come as no surprise were he up to the task.
Prediction : 1st Ancient Power 2nd Zeus Olympios 3rd Chemical

NEXT TRICK is competitively weighted in comparison to what she achieved during her time in Ireland and, having posted an encouraging effort on her debut run for Archie Watson when third over 1m here last week, the daughter of Bated Breath makes considerable appeal dropping back a furlong with new headgear tried. Mammy, a winner over 7f off 2lb lower at Chelmsford 13 days ago, and Capuchinero rate the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Next Trick 2nd Mammy 3rd Capuchinero

MISTY SKY has been running consistently well of late and tops the shortlist in an open event following her success over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month. That said, Art Market was second that day and could get closer now that first-time cheekpieces are added. All of the remainder have claims, but the unexposed Kiniro is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Misty Sky 2nd Art Market 3rd Kiniro

Having proved a decisive winner at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day, PARADIAS could be set to follow up. A 4lb higher rating for Alan King's inmate doesn't look insurmountable and he's fancied to repel the hat-trick seeking The Glen Rovers. The latter justified favouritism on his last two appearances at this venue but, while he isn't taken lightly, being 2lb out of the handicap could prove costly. Andaleep and Artistic Star are worth a second look as well.
Prediction : 1st Paradias 2nd The Glen Rovers 3rd Andaleep

COMTE DE LOIR offered plenty of encouragement when a close-up second on his handicap bow at Southwell eight days ago. The four-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes on this quick turnaround and, off an unchanged mark, compensation could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Doublethetrouble, who arrives on the back of a fair fourth on his reappearance at Lingfield, while dual C&D winner Zivaniya warrants respect returning to this venue.
Prediction : 1st Comte De Loir 2nd Doublethetrouble 3rd Zivaniya
