UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A winner of his last two starts at this venue and beaten just a neck at Chelmsford last time out, THE SPOTLIGHT KID sets the standard as he looks to notch up a fifth career success. That may be at the main expense of Ajrad, who scored over 7f at Wolverhampton last week but has a 4lb penalty to shoulder on this occasion. Claxton Bay and Roscioli are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st The Spotlight Kid 2nd Ajrad 3rd Claxton Bay

Runner-up to a talented sort from the William Haggas team on debut over C&D last month, BLUE WONDER shaped with abundant promise on that occasion and she can go one better. Narrowly denied over track and trip at a huge price first time out, Selenic may be able to prove that was no fluke, while the booking of Oisin Murphy aboard well-bred newcomer Champagne On Ice is noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Blue Wonder 2nd Selenic 3rd Champagne On Ice

The Andrew Balding stable are in good form and it is difficult to look past BERKSHIRE WHISPER, who ran on well for second on debut over C&D a month ago. The son of Dark Angel is taken to get off the mark, with Sands Of Havana looking best placed to chase him home, despite a disappointing effort at Southwell most recently. Alone Mehmas is a newcomer to monitor for market support.
Prediction : 1st Berkshire Whisper 2nd Sands Of Havana 3rd Alone Mehmas

An open contest in which many will fancy their chances, including Grenham Bay, who was a shade unfortunate when third behind Big R over C&D last month. Hierarchy, who was fourth that day, has posted two strong efforts since and is likely to be on the premises once again. However, preference is afforded to HARRY DID after he caught the eye when hitting the frame at Southwell recently and the unexposed four-year-old, who will have no problem with the switch to Polytrack, makes considerable appeal from just 1lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Harry Did 2nd Grenham Bay 3rd Big R

A slow start was ultimately the undoing of Ashford Hill, who finished a narrow second over C&D a fortnight ago. She ought to be a real force if breaking on terms but, while she is respected, preference is for STRAIGHT A. Mick Appleby's charge would have been an extremely unfortunate loser at Wolverhampton recently but he did well to get up close home, and a subsequent 3lb rise does not look beyond him. Lunarscape is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Straight A 2nd Ashford Hill 3rd Lunarscape

This looks to be a competitive event so only a tentative nod goes to ALRAZEEN. The four-year-old impressed when readily showing his rivals a clean pair of heels over an extended 2m at Southwell recently and another bold bid looks likely, despite a 6lb rise. Moon Over Miami was well backed when fifth in a warm race on his handicap debut over 1m3f at Southwell last month and he must enter calculations upped significantly in trip for top connections. HMS President and Wonder Legend can also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Alrazeen 2nd Moon Over Miami 3rd HMS President

SID'S ANNIE caught the eye when staying on into fourth after being denied a clear run at a crucial stage over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month and, eased 2lb stepping back up in trip, she looks attractively handicapped. The unexposed Always Waving wasn't disgraced when fourth on her handicap debut over 1m3f at Southwell recently and she could go well off 2lb lower, while Kinetic has the ability to play a hand in a race of this nature.
Prediction : 1st Sids Annie 2nd Always Waving 3rd Kinetic
