UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

ASHEN's stamina appeared to ebb away when weakening into fifth on his handicap bow over 1m here 16 days ago and a return to 7f could prove fruitful. Moreover, the son of Phoenix Of Spain arrives here race-fit, which could prove crucial over the higher-rated Brize Norton. Ralph Beckett's gelding ended his juvenile campaign with a respectable third at Salisbury and it will be interesting to see how he fares in the betting market. Dannick and Karthala are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Ashen 2nd Brize Norton 3rd Dannick

Having scythed his way through the field to make a winning debut at Chelmsford last month, COSI BELLO could be capable of defying a penalty. Charlie Fellowes' inmate impressed with both his cruising speed and finishing effort, which may be enough to repel chief threat Deira Storm. The Blue Point colt looked unlucky to not score on his opening bid at Wolverhampton last December and isn't taken lightly. Arboreous and Uppercase are others who should have better days ahead of them.
Prediction : 1st Cosi Bello 2nd Deira Storm 3rd Arboreous

BINTSHUAA offered plenty of encouragement on her third-placed handicap/stable debut in a class 5 event over C&D 16 days ago. David Menuisier's filly should enjoy this ease in grade and, racing off an unchanged mark, a breakthrough victory could be in the offing. Frostmagic is only 3lb higher than his recent triumph at Doncaster and is feared most, ahead of Opening Bat.
Prediction : 1st Bintshuaa 2nd Frostmagic 3rd Opening Bat

MONOPOLISE was caught wider than ideal when a beaten favourite over 7f here in January. The three-timer C&D winner has a kinder berth to work with this evening, though, and it wouldn't come as any great surprise were he to bounce back. Royal Pleasure was narrowly denied at Lingfield last month and is respected from 2lb higher, along with Extrication, who is likely to benefit from a step up to the mile.
Prediction : 1st Monopolise 2nd Royal Pleasure 3rd Extrication

Madame X was touched off on her racecourse bow at Salisbury earlier this month and is likely to go close again, with improvement on the cards, but the vote goes to SAYIDAH HARD SPUN. Richard Hughes' filly shaped with considerable promise when finishing fourth in a warm Ascot maiden on her debut recently. Stepping up from 5f will suit on that evidence and she's fancied to put the experience to good use. Market support for Earthlight filly Tobah would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Sayidah Hard Spun 2nd Madame X 3rd Tobah

This is competitive and only a tentative vote can go to HIERONYMUS. The son of Dutch Art didn't have much left when weakening inside the final furlong over the mile here last month so he's sure to benefit from a drop in trip, and George Baker currently has his string in fine form. Pressure's On struggled in the Spring Mile at Doncaster but he is a player at this level, while others to note include Nibras Angel and Pitney.
Prediction : 1st Hieronymus 2nd Pressures On 3rd Nibras Angel

AL BAREZ bounced back to form when hitting the crossbar in this class at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and the handicapper may have been kind to only put him up 1lb. With a previous C&D victory to his name further aiding his cause, he looks the one to beat. Drama finished a close third in a warmer contest at Southwell last month and it would be no surprise to see him feature, along with Many A Star.
Prediction : 1st Al Barez 2nd Drama 3rd Many A Star

AUTUMN'S BREEZE produced a career-best effort to take the silver medal home at Yarmouth when last seen and makes her return off an unchanged rating. If the Moore's filly has wintered well, she could take advantage of a winnable opportunity. Tatmeen showed a lot more on his handicap debut to finish second at Lingfield and has to be respected, while Marinakis isn't ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Autumns Breeze 2nd Tatmeen 3rd Marinakis
