UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Ciotog should be capable of another bold showing, despite picking up a 4lb penalty for Saturday's ready success over the extended mile at Wolverhampton. However, this is not straightforward given his limited experience on Polytrack so PROFITMAN, already a dual winner on the surface, could be worth chancing, with the step back up in trip likely to suit. The less-exposed Drifts Away is another tempting proposition, with Lewis Kent's 5lb claim a handy asset.
Prediction : 1st Profitman 2nd Ciotog 3rd Drifts Away

Those with experience are nothing out of the ordinary and it's likely this will go to one of the newcomers. The Godolphin-owned OPERA BALLO, a 600,000-euro purchase as a yearling, is an obvious starting point, especially considering Charlie Appleby's recent domination of this race. Ledanis and Gennadius are attractive propositions on paper and would have to be of interest if supported in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Opera Ballo 2nd Ledanis 3rd Gennadius

The nicely-bred SABUGAL, a 200,000gns yearling out of Group 3 winner Cimeara, won't need to be anything special to match his dam's feat of making a winning racecourse debut. Shihoku is arguably the most notable of the rest given his proximity to the high-class Henry Adams in a Naas maiden on his only previous start. However, that was more than 18 months ago and a leap of faith is needed on his stable/all-weather debut with a tongue-tie added. Quai De Bethune and Zoffandia complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sabugal 2nd Shihoku 3rd Quai De Bethune

Having rattled home to deny The Outlaw and complete a hat-trick at Southwell, a 4lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent WHIZZ BY from going in again, with the New Bay filly a likely improver now facing a mile for the first time. The Outlaw boosted the form when subsequently opening his account at Chelmsford and he's feared most. Squires Treaty may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Whizz By 2nd The Outlaw 3rd Squires Treaty

A return to 7f and gelding procedure must bring Midnight's Dream into calculations after his third over a mile at Newcastle when last seen. However, KING DAVID found himself with too much to do when a staying-on fifth over C&D last week and he may be worth chancing off an unchanged mark. Triple course winner Monopolise warrants respect on the back of a victory here, although a drop in trip may prove his undoing.
Prediction : 1st King David 2nd Midnights Dream 3rd Monopolise

TROUBLE MAN built on his promising debut second at Southwell when digging deep to score over 5f at Wolverhampton last month. A return to 6f is likely to suit the son of Profitable and an opening mark of 77 may prove workable. Fellow handicap debutant Camera Shy only gave way in the closing stages at Chelmsford in November and he's feared most, ahead of last-time-out winners Oakley Boy and Distant Rumble.
Prediction : 1st Trouble Man 2nd Camera Shy 3rd Oakley Boy

Not beaten far over this distance on each of his last two starts, MR NUGGET hasn't done himself any favours by challenging from the rear on both occasions. With a cleaner break this time around, David Simcock's charge may have enough to see off recent course scorer Sneaky Blinder, as well as Fravanco, who struck over C&D back in September. Others to note include Cornish Storm, Fiddlers Green and The Colorist.
Prediction : 1st Mr Nugget 2nd Sneaky Blinder 3rd Fravanco

SHAAD had Alex The Great (fourth) behind when a highly creditable second at Wolverhampton and he looks the one to beat if building upon that effort. The four-year-old can break the maiden at the main expense of Sullivan Bay, who has been running consistently since scoring at Chelmsford in October. Breccia must hold every chance if bouncing back to the form that saw her come out on top at Wolverhampton on Boxing Day.
Prediction : 1st Shaad 2nd Sullivan Bay 3rd Alex The Great
