UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Anzac Day won by an easy five lengths last time out at Newmarket, but that was in October 2023 and it may prove a huge ask to give weight away to all of his rivals on his first start since. Ernst Blofeld caught the eye when third over the mile here and he can go well upped in trip, but MODERN STYLE is preferred. An unraced son of Frankel who cost 900,000gns as a yearling, the Godolphin representative is fancied to strike at the first attempt.
Prediction : 1st Modern Style 2nd Ernst Blofeld 3rd Anzac Day

Okeechobee is the best of these on official ratings but he has finished second on both of his seasonal debuts, which has to be a worry for his supporters. Botanical pulled too hard on his return at Doncaster but may be better at this trip and, if he settles, he could get involved, yet TEUMESSIAS FOX might be the one to beat. A record of three wins from four here shows a liking for the track, and with race fitness on his side after a victory in the Rosebery, he has every chance.
Prediction : 1st Teumessias Fox 2nd Okeechobee 3rd Botanical

Top Of The Class has a good record here with three successes, but she needs a career best off this mark and may have to settle for a place. SKY SAFARI looks a character, but with the Fanshawe team in good form and with two wins from her three starts, she looks the sort to improve as she matures and strengthens. Mercury Day drops in grade after a seventh to Soprano in Listed company and she could also get involved.
Prediction : 1st Sky Safari 2nd Mercury Day 3rd Top Of The Class

Ahlain hit the crossbar at Lingfield when last seen and as long as she has wintered well, she may go close again on her return to the fray. However, FOLLOW YOUR HEART went in by a length at Wolverhampton last month and might have been worth more than the winning margin suggests. With William Buick booked, Mark Loughnane's seven-year-old could record a fifth C&D victory. Supreme King completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Follow Your Heart 2nd Ahlain 3rd Supreme King

Coup De Force made it three wins out of her last four starts at Southwell in November and if she is ready on her return to action, she ought to go close. However, REBEL PATH made the frame at Wolverhampton last month and goes off an unchanged mark. Granted a similar performance and with Jack Dace claiming a handy 7lb, he could be the one to beat. Cypriot Diaspora is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Path 2nd Coup De Force 3rd Cypriot Diaspora

Study Up went from last to first to score on his debut at Salisbury last summer and will have lots more to offer, but it may pay to side with HOODIE HOO. Charlie Hills' three-year-old had Topwarrior back in third when accounting for a subsequent winner at Wolverhampton last month and, judged on his professionalism that day, he is fancied to strike again. Keybaar cost 190,000gns as a yearling and needs to be monitored in the market.
Prediction : 1st Hoodie Hoo 2nd Study Up 3rd Keybaar

It will be interesting to see how French debut winner Sheriff's Court fares on his stable bow and, despite a 7lb penalty, he warrants respect. However, NACHO NACHO NACHO boasts a recent run after his third at Nottingham earlier this month and the son of Bungle Inthejungle appeals as the most solid option. Fort Augustus and Haazeez recorded some useful juvenile form last year and aren't easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Nacho Nacho Nacho 2nd Sheriffs Court 3rd Fort Augustus

GREY FOX looked as good as ever when landing the spoils over C&D last month. The eight-year-old is entitled to build on that first appearance for 147 days and a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Believitanducan arrives on the back of a juvenile hurdle victory at Stratford and he's feared most on his Polytrack debut, ahead of recent track-and-trip winner Cinnodin.
Prediction : 1st Grey Fox 2nd Believitanducan 3rd Cinnodin
