UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Chapman's Peak sprung a surprise to score here earlier this month but there was no fluke about the performance, and a 4lb rise looks fair. That said, preference is for LIEUTENANT KIJE. The gelding chased home a now 95-rated rival over track and trip in August which suggests that he could have been underestimated by an opening mark of 73. Others to note include Elan D'or and Reimagined.
Prediction : 1st Lieutenant Kije 2nd Chapmans Peak 3rd Elan Dor

Official ratings suggest Too Hot To Tango and Dictal have the ability to go well, but it is VALDORCIA that shades preference. The daughter of Oasis Dream has hit the frame on both of her starts to date, each over 6f, but this step up in trip is likely to suit and she can provide Toby Moore with his first winner.
Prediction : 1st Valdorcia 2nd Too Hot To Tango 3rd Dictal

In an open contest, a chance can be taken on ONE LAST SONG. The daughter of Justify, who fetched $250,000 as a yearling, represents a yard in excellent form and it would come as no surprise were she to play a leading role. Callahan sets the standard and is respected, whilst the likes of Oh Sit Down and Blackisthenewblack both warrant a market check.
Prediction : 1st One Last Song 2nd Callahan 3rd Oh Sit Down

Tamzan (second) has progressed with each start and finished ahead of both PRIZELAND (fourth) and Angelic Rascal (fifth) at Leicester earlier this month. However, it wouldn't be a surprise if Andrew Balding's filly, who caught the eye on her debut, took enough of a step forward to reverse the placings. Supplicate makes plenty of appeal as her full-sister, also trained by Roger Varian, made a winning start to her career.
Prediction : 1st Prizeland 2nd Supplicate 3rd Tamzan

SILCA BAY was denied in his bid for a hat-trick when runner-up here last month, but there is every chance Eve Johnson Houghton's gelding could improve for tackling a mile for the first time. Cogitate went close at this level on his penultimate start over C&D and backed that up when fourth in a stronger contest last time. The four-year-old commands respect, while others to note are Philanthropist and Almekarem.
Prediction : 1st Silca Bay 2nd Cogitate 3rd Philanthropist

COUL ANGEL scored at Newmarket on his penultimate start before finishing third at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. Mick Appleby's gelding has shown a tendency to hang to his right on those starts, so the switch to a right-handed track from a low draw might aid his cause. Stanley Spencer is best judged on his Southwell victory and the return to 6f is in his favour. He is likely to enter calculations along with Mesaafi.
Prediction : 1st Coul Angel 2nd Stanley Spencer 3rd Easy Peeler

PRIDE OF DONEGAL has improved with each run so far and, having emerged as a ready winner over C&D 19 days ago, the son of Saxon Warrior is an attractive proposition after that power-packed handicap debut. A 7lb higher mark complicates the issue and the likes of fellow track-and-trip winners Club Class and Mrs Twig could capitalise on any weakness shown. The hat-trick seeking Gemmari is also considered on his first appearance since being gelded.
Prediction : 1st Pride Of Donegal 2nd Club Class 3rd Mrs Twig

TRIGGERED, who has won four times over this trip, is the first one to consider after his second second over a mile here at the start of this month. Back over 7f and from a handy draw, there is plenty to like about his chances with Billy Loughnane retaining the ride. Penelope Valentine, Beau Jardine and Chifa are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Triggered 2nd Penelope Valentine 3rd Beau Jardine

SMASHER was only hit with a 2lb rise after gamely winning over course and distance four weeks ago and appeals on his bid to follow up. The Real McKay is another key player following a comfortable win at Newcastle, with a 3lb rise also noted as fair. Vaunted won this race off 6lb higher last year and shouldn't be underestimated, while previous C&D winners The Cola Kid and Wallop are other each-way options.
Prediction : 1st Smasher 2nd The Real McKay 3rd Vaunted
