UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

The impeccably-bred SHIPBOURNE was all the rage for his Newbury introduction and didn't disappoint, landing the odds by more than four lengths. The jury is out as to what he actually beat, but there was no denying he was very impressive and can take the next step up the ladder. Ralph Beckett's colt faces some really interesting newcomers, not least Aqpan, who cost 400,000gns as a yearling and is a half-brother to an Italian Oaks winner. Northern Empire is a 220,000-euro son of Night Of Thunder, while Godolphin's Frankel colt Hidden Force is another first-timer to take into account.
Prediction : 1st Shipbourne 2nd Aqpan 3rd Hidden Force

Generous Rascal showed the benefit of a previous outing and his appreciation for the switch to the all-weather when justifying favouritism over C&D. As a result, he must shoulder a penalty and will do well to successfully concede 12lb to YOU'LL THINK OF ME. The daughter of Kingman showed a fair level of ability for Donnacha O'Brien in Ireland, earning a rating of 82, and can strike at the first time of asking for Kevin Philippart De Foy. Blueaway, a 75,000-euro breeze-up purchase, is the most appealing newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Youll Think Of Me 2nd Generous Rascal 3rd Blueaway

AMERICAN FLIGHT was the outsider of three when attempting to supplement a C&D triumph at Newcastle, but she did so in gutsy fashion and there may be even more to come off just a 1lb higher figure. Flash Rascal improved for the switch to an artificial surface, breaking his duck at Chelmsford, and the third has won since. Torbados and My Dad Tom both drop from 7f with claims, while Wisetanck could leave previous efforts behind now entering the nursery ranks.
Prediction : 1st American Flight 2nd Flash Rascal 3rd Torbados

Colourband has been gelded since his Salisbury third, which is probably the best form on offer, but he comes up against some really interesting debutants. Heading that list is King's Trail, a Sea The Stars colt out of a Group 3 winner who finished second in the Prix Rothschild. Cockade has a nice blend of speed and stamina in his pedigree but so does WINDBREAKER, whose price rose from 100,000gns as a foal to 375,000gns less than a year later and he gets the nod.
Prediction : 1st Windbreaker 2nd Kings Trail 3rd Cockade

Studious bounced back to his best at Newcastle last week, but all three of his victories have come on Tapeta and he has something to prove on this surface. TONAL struck on Tapeta at Southwell, but that supplemented a wide-margin Chelmsford triumph and his proven ability on Polytrack means he is fancied to round out the hat-trick. Foreseen got through heavy ground to win at Bath and Louie The Legend also handled testing conditions to go close at Nottingham, but both must back those performances up here.
Prediction : 1st Tonal 2nd Studious 3rd Foreseen

I'M WORKIN ON IT has found his niche as a Kempton handicapper, winning here in August before a close-up fourth and a narrow defeat. All of those efforts came at 7f, but he stayed on all the way to the line last time so the extra furlong should play to his strengths. Rainwater got closest to an easy winner at Wolverhampton but a bigger threat may come in the shape of Final Night, who struck over C&D prior to making the frame at Nottingham.
Prediction : 1st Im Workin On It 2nd Final Night 3rd Rainwater

Chancellor benefited from being gelded and a wind operation when scoring here in handicap company. The extra furlong is unlikely to be an issue, but the standard HOLLOWAY BOY sets might just be a bridge too far. The five-year-old placed second twice in Group 2 company and took third in the Jebel Hatta in Dubai before returning with a fine effort against a very progressive type in the Balmoral at Ascot, and this should set him up nicely for going back overseas. The consistent Ebt's Guard and Torito are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Holloway Boy 2nd Chancellor 3rd Ebts Guard

FREDDIE'S STAR was presented with a simple opportunity to shed the maiden tag at Chelmsford and duly obliged at the fourth attempt. Now sent into handicap company, Roger Teal's gelding looks open to further improvement. Arctician bounced back over C&D last month and has to be respected off 3lb higher, while the application of cheekpieces may aid the cause of Mythical Composer.
Prediction : 1st Freddies Star 2nd Arctician 3rd Mythical Composer

Nivelle's Magic has been knocking on the door, most recently when a close-up second at Newbury, and she's likely to be in the mix once more. However, a further 3lb rise will only make life more difficult for Dan Horsford's mare and LITTLE MISS INDIA may prove to be better treated. The four-year-old arrives on the back of a third-placed effort at Southwell and edges the vote off an unchanged mark. Mission Possible is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Little Miss India 2nd Nivelles Magic 3rd Mission Possible
