UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A winner over timber on his only start in France, PARCHMENT looks well placed to make a successful start to his career with the in-form David Pipe yard. Flagon Dry, Modern Style and Bouquet De Paris all need significant steps forward from what they have shown in this discipline so far. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising to see Sonic Pioneer (rated 76 at his best on the Flat) emerge as the main danger on his hurdles debut.
Prediction : 1st Parchment 2nd Sonic Pioneer 3rd Flagon Dry

it is hard to ignore WANDERING EGO, whose 14-length romp at Stratford has a solid look to it. Sean Bowen's mount could be too pacey for the rest here. Fortune Timmy looked a useful prospect with a ready success on his Rules debut at Fontwell last month. However, that was over 2m3f and he has something to prove over the minimum trip. With that in mind, the class-dropping Un Sens A La Vie could be a bigger danger at this level, although he was a shade disappointing in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham last time.
Prediction : 1st Wandering Ego 2nd Un Sens A La Vie 3rd Fortune Timmy

Nicky Henderson won this race with the classy Iberico Lord last year and has a major chance of notching back-to-back wins with JERIKO DU REPONET. Events conspired against the six-year-old on his chasing debut at Sandown last November but his hurdles form sets a high standard and he's worth another try over fences. The rest are closely matched on official ratings but perhaps Jax Junior and Aurigny Mill are the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Jeriko Du Reponet 2nd Jax Junior 3rd Aurigny Mill

SPRINGS A GIRL's jumping cost her when she pulled up over fences last time, but a return to hurdling could spark a revival and she is well handicapped on the pick of her form. Court In A Storm remains unexposed and should not be discounted despite falling on his handicap debut last month. Others to note are Jimmy Hurdstrom and Getalead.
Prediction : 1st Springs A Girl 2nd Court In A Storm 3rd Jimmy Hurdstrom

THAT'LL DO MOSS outran odds of 50/1 when filling second place in a Grade 1 at Fairyhouse when last seen in April. On that evidence, the six-year-old could be very hard to stop in this company. Dream On Baby arrives on the back of multiple seconds across both codes and could fill the runner-up position once again. The rest all have questions to answer, but Bethpage is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Thatll Do Moss 2nd Dream On Baby 3rd Bethpage

VIROFLAY finished second of only three runners over 2m3f at Ascot on his reappearance and handicap debut. That outing will have blown any cobwebs away and a repeat of his second over this longer distance at Punchestown in May could see Paul Nicholls' charge return to winning ways. First Confession made a promising chasing debut when third at Carlisle recently and could be thereabouts, while Doctor Ken goes well fresh.
Prediction : 1st Viroflay 2nd First Confession 3rd Doctor Ken

Across Earth won nicely at Hereford on his seasonal bow and cannot be ruled out, despite an 8lb rise. Surrey Lord opened his account over timber with a victory on soft going at Ffos Las last month, but AT THE OCHE makes more appeal on this sounder surface. The latter just failed to catch the winner at Ascot on his handicap debut and the four-year-old will likely have plenty more to offer off his current mark.
Prediction : 1st At The Oche 2nd Across Earth 3rd Surrey Lord
