UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Having not enjoyed the best of passages when finishing fifth in a Group 3 at Salisbury in September last year, the returning GREYDREAMBELIEVER makes grand appeal on her all-weather debut. Karl Burke's filly is sure to appreciate these calmer waters and she looks capable of defying a 7lb penalty. The biggest threat is likely to emerge from Glamour Show, who has posted several creditable efforts in defeat. Volcanic Dancer is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Greydreambeliever 2nd Glamour Show 3rd Volcanic Dancer

Shameful made the perfect start to his racing career when landing the spoils at Newbury in September and there is likely more to come. However, a 7lb penalty could leave Clive Cox's inmate vulnerable and MARVELMAN edges the vote. The son of Invincible Spirit ended his last campaign with a brace of runner-up efforts and that form looks slightly stronger. Man Of La Mancha may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Marvelman 2nd Shameful 3rd Man Of La Mancha

FEARNOT impressed with his finishing effort from the rear when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton earlier this month. The Invincible Spirit colt was value for further and a switch to Polytrack shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Having undergone a wind procedure since his fifth-placed effort at Newcastle in November, White Crown Star may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Westlain.
Prediction : 1st Fearnot 2nd White Crown Star 3rd Westlain

MCINTOSH confirmed the promise of his debut second at Chelmsford when going one better at Wolverhampton. Both of those races came over 6f, but he stayed on to excellent effect at Dunstall Park so even more is expected now he tackles 7f on his handicap bow. Lady Manzor and Jack Dace have created a good partnership, completing a Lingfield/C&D double, and Amanda Perrett's filly has to be feared. So, too, must Penelope Valentine, even though she has been hit with an 8lb hike for an emphatic track-and-trip triumph. Throw Packetofbiscuits and Bermuda Princess into the mix too.
Prediction : 1st McIntosh 2nd Lady Manzor 3rd Penelope Valentine

WHIZZ BY landed her first three handicaps and although the winning spree came to an end when upped to a mile, there was no disgrace in chasing home a progressive colt. She has to prove her mettle away from Southwell, but the return to 7f is in her favour and there should be more to come. Macedonian got up in the shadows of the post to break his duck over 6f here so the extra furlong is in his favour. Sabrimento has been threatening to get his head in front again, as Solar Army and Pietro were when last seen and they have been gelded since.
Prediction : 1st Whizz By 2nd Macedonian 3rd Pietro

MOUNT ATHOS has won the two previous renewals of this race, both times following breaks, so it shouldn't matter that he has been off since finishing in mid-division in a Deauville Listed contest at the start of December. He picked up a similar prize there a month previously and is just 1lb higher than when successful 12 months ago. Roi De France found only the ill-fated Poker Face too good in the Hyde Stakes here, but Popmaster is weighted to get the better of him now 5lb better off for finishing just a neck away in third. Golden Mind pipped Heathcliff over 6f before being outclassed in the Lady Wulfruna at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Mount Athos 2nd Popmaster 3rd Roi De France

BEST RATE took a step forward when getting off the mark on his most recent outing over 7f at Wolverhampton in December. A subsequent gelding operation may bring about further improvement from Richard Hannon's inmate and he tops the shortlist in an open event. The unbeaten Kameel is another handicap debutant who merits plenty of respect. Others to note are Sweet Fantastic, Spirit Lead Me and Brindavan.
Prediction : 1st Best Rate 2nd Kameel 3rd Sweet Fantastic

The hat-trick seeking Collusion has to be of interest but a 4lb rise for his latest win will make life tougher for him here. As a result, preference is for HARRY BROWN, who has been running consistently well in defeat of late and can make his presence felt in a race of this nature. Arlecchino's Gift edges out Four Adaay and First Company to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Harry Brown 2nd Collusion 3rd Arlecchinos Gift

All of these have claims, but none more so than DONALD LLEWELLYN. The eight-year-old made a winning return to the level over 1m4f at Lingfield earlier in the month and this step up in trip should not be a problem for him. Legacy Power has not been seen since May but he won a similar C&D event off this mark just three starts ago, while Doublethetrouble completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Donald Llewellyn 2nd Legacy Power 3rd Doublethetrouble
