UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

PRIESTESS may have disappointed when favourite on her most recent outing over further at Wolverhampton, but she is much better judged on her penultimate success at Southwell over this distance. Tom Ward's filly can bounce back to winning ways at the main expense of American Flight, who showed up well when second on her nursery debut at Chelmsford last week. Espona Bay is having his first run after a gelding operation and completes the shortlist with Dark Mandate.
Prediction : 1st Priestess 2nd American Flight 3rd Espona Bay

Trainer David Menuisier looks to hold a strong hand in this contest with Sandown debut third Get This In and AERIAL SILK, who has the services of David Egan to call upon on this occasion. Preference is for the latter, who was a shade unlucky at Haydock last month when short of room at a crucial stage before staying on well to be beaten half-a-length in third. Not in action since a promising debut at Sandown in June, Deported is another to note, as well as Newcastle second Power For Power.
Prediction : 1st Aerial Silk 2nd Deported 3rd Get This In

Having opened his account after a 405-day layoff at Ffos Las in July, Conscript must enter calculations on his follow-up bid. However, a 7lb penalty will make life tougher for the Clive Cox-trained gelding and HIT SQUAD is slightly more appealing. The son of Kameko found only subsequent Irish 2,000 Guineas runner-up Cosmic Year too strong on his debut over C&D in April and should have a bright future. Market support for newcomer Fight Your Corner would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Hit Squad 2nd Conscript 3rd Fight Your Corner

PREVIOUS made light work of the opposition when making a winning nursery bow at Southwell earlier this month and there may be more to come. Although the assessor has reacted in kind with a 9lb hike in the ratings, another bold bid is forecast from Kevin Philippart De Foy's filly. Wild Dahlia gained a breakthrough victory at the third time of asking at Chelmsford and she's feared most, ahead of What's The Plan.
Prediction : 1st Previous 2nd Wild Dahlia 3rd Whats The Plan

Love Your Work was well found in the market when scoring over C&D at the start of this month and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent him from giving another good account. Born A Rebel and Waistcoat are other key players judged on their latest efforts and neither can be easily dismissed. However, it could be worth taking a punt on DARK ROSA, who finished behind the latter in fourth here 12 days ago, but is a potential improver stepping up further in distance.
Prediction : 1st Dark Rosa 2nd Love Your Work 3rd Born A Rebel

Several of these are progressing nicely and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper, with a tentative vote going to SARAB STAR. Jack Channon's colt improved for a step up in trip when scoring over 7f here in August and an official rating of 88 on his handicap bow looks workable. Hat-trick seeking duo Sky Safari and Blue Rc aren't taken lightly, although a bigger threat may emerge from Estmrar, who scored with something in hand at Chelmsford last time.
Prediction : 1st Sarab Star 2nd Estmrar 3rd Sky Safari

Artisan Dancer found himself with too much to do when finishing fifth at Chester last month and his previous efforts in defeat suggest that he's capable of playing a leading role. However, reopposing second PRYDWEN, a six-time winner on the all-weather, looked close to his best that day and a similar performance is likely to make him tough to beat. Quadruple C&D winner Duke Of Oxford is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Prydwen 2nd Artisan Dancer 3rd Duke Of Oxford

Having justified strong support in the market to score over track and trip recently, Dream Of Mischief is dangerous to dismiss off just 3lb higher. However, KIT GABRIEL made a winning stable bow over C&D 21 days ago with something in hand and a 4lb rise may prove more lenient. Stable debutant Hunky Dory and King Of Ithaca are others of interest at this level.
Prediction : 1st Kit Gabriel 2nd Dream Of Mischief 3rd Hunky Dory
