UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A three-time winner on the Flat in France, TIMETOSHINE made a successful transition to hurdling when scoring in fine style at Huntingdon on only her second start for Nicky Henderson. She should have plenty more to offer over timber and can defy a penalty. The four-year-old Miss Altea Blue is also burdened with a penalty for winning at Wincanton last week, so Anariza may prove a bigger threat to the selection having returned to action with a solid third at Wetherby on her hurdling bow.
Prediction : 1st Timetoshine 2nd Anariza 3rd Miss Altea Blue

Asta La Pasta may have done too much in front when well behind the winner at Musselburgh and is fitted with a hood for the first time. He has sound claims on an earlier second over these fences, when FIRST STREET finished fourth. The latter caught the eye running on strongly in the closing stages on that occasion and Nicky Henderson's charge is taken to turn the tables on these more favourable terms. Teddy Blue is upped in class and raised 6lb for a cosy triumph at Huntingdon, but is still preferred to Paddy In The Caddy.
Prediction : 1st First Street 2nd Asta La Pasta 3rd Teddy Blue

The progressive DOUBLE POWERFUL notched up six straight victories before missing out by only a head at Ascot. He may well have won again with a more fluent display of jumping and a further 6lb rise is not insurmountable. Irish Hill finished just behind the selection at Ascot and that brings Paul Nicholls' charge into the equation. He subsequently franked the form by going in at Warwick, while Saint Anapolino also merits consideration having completed a hat-trick with plenty in hand over C&D three weeks ago.
Prediction : 1st Double Powerful 2nd Irish Hill 3rd Saint Anapolino

Bad finally came good when gaining his first success in the UK over C&D in empathic style. The six-year-old has always been well regarded by connections, but isn't straightforward and now has to cope with a 9lb rise. OUTLAW PETER won this race 12 months ago at the expense of Flegmatik and Paul Nicholls' gelding, who arrives fresh following a break since a spin over the Grand National fences in November, can repeat the feat. Bashers Reflection and Bourbali appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Outlaw Peter 2nd Bad 3rd Flegmatik

QUEBECOIS, who was a respectable fourth in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham in January, is readily suggested as the one to be with, with Paul Nicholls' low-mileage six-year-old seemingly presented with a good opportunity. Kingston Pride was pulled up behind the selection when sent off favourite for a Grade 2 at Sandown in December, but is surely better than that. In The Shade appeals more than Kicks And Ale.
Prediction : 1st Quebecois 2nd Kingston Pride 3rd In The Shade

THE DOYEN CHIEF has shown promise on all three previous starts over fences and that includes a narrow defeat over 2m7f at Taunton last time. A 3lb rise is a slight concern, but the eight-year-old remains unexposed over this sort of trip and may still have improvement left to come. Dibble Decker also hit the crossbar on his most recent outing and could prove to be the main threat, although Slipway should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st The Doyen Chief 2nd Dibble Decker 3rd Slipway

Alan King has won this race twice in the last three years and SEVEN STARS could add to that record. The filly is out of a mare who landed a Listed bumper for the stable and there are plenty of other winners in her pedigree. Night Ride Home is another newcomer who has to be respected for top connections, while Trustintimes is the pick of those with race experience.
Prediction : 1st Seven Stars 2nd Night Ride Home 3rd Trustintimes
