UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Asmeralda and Zupa Trupa are two very interesting newcomers to keep an eye on in this novice heat, but experience may win the day and PIERCHIC can give her rivals weight and a beating. Charlie Appleby's filly improved for her debut third at Wolverhampton and the change of tactics saw her make all in determined fashion at Chelmsford. There should be more to come.
Prediction : 1st Pierchic 2nd Asmeralda 3rd Zupa Trupa

It will be interesting to see what the market makes of newcomers Twinkle Belle, Nochebuena, Lotus and Botagoz. All of them are respected, but preference is for ARETI, who was a bit disappointing at Newmarket last time but did make a debut full of promise there in October. Beaten just a length and a half into third that day, she's a big player on that form.
Prediction : 1st Areti 2nd Twinkle Belle 3rd Botagoz

TENBOB TOMMY will surely be winning a race of this nature sooner rather than later judged on recent form. He's finished second on each of his last three outings and is well drawn to get a prominent position early doors. Red Mirage is a C&D winner who must be taken seriously, while Kev might represent some each-way value in this handicap.
Prediction : 1st Tenbob Tommy 2nd Red Mirage 3rd Kev

BECCADELLI should appreciate going back up to 7f on his nursery debut and warrants the utmost respect given his connections and very creditable fourth-placed effort in a Newmarket maiden in September. Galileo Island has experience on his side and has won two of his last three starts, so is another must for the shortlist. Keep an eye on Gorey Gold too.
Prediction : 1st Beccadelli 2nd Galileo Island 3rd Gorey Gold

Look no further than NATION'S HOPE. He looked a potential Group horse when making a sparkling debut over C&D last month and should be well up to giving these rivals weight and a beating, before he goes up in class. Killer Whale will need to improve markedly from his Southwell introduction, so perhaps the battle for second will be between the newcomers Genuine Warrior and Our Guy.
Prediction : 1st Nations Hope 2nd Genuine Warrior 3rd Our Guy

COMEDIAN LEADER arrives here on a hat-trick and is difficult to oppose given she's won with plenty in hand on both occasions at Lingfield on the turf. Switching to this track shouldn't inconvenience her either, as she's a previous course scorer, and everything points to a bold showing. Hunky Dory has been knocking on the door and is next best, ahead of Hierarchy.
Prediction : 1st Comedian Leader 2nd Hunky Dory 3rd Hierarchy

There are three last-start winners going to post in this stayers handicap and DANCE TIME might have the edge. She could hardly have been more impressive when scoring over 1m6f at Wolverhampton latest and her supporters will be pleased to see that Rossa Ryan keeps the ride. New York Minute is on a four-timer and won't go down without a fight, likewise Macari.
Prediction : 1st Dance Time 2nd New York Minute 3rd Macari

HOMME DE FER recorded his first career success at Wolverhampton and it came as no surprise on the back of a couple of encouraging placed efforts. Now he's got that winning feeling, he could kick on and make light work of a 5lb penalty. Soar Above is a three-time C&D winner and could easily run into a place here, while My Boy Harry is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Homme De Fer 2nd Soar Above 3rd My Boy Harry

A competitive finale for punters to solve and just a tentative vote is for THE COLA KID. On the evidence of his latest effort over 7f, the eight-year-old should really appreciate coming back to 6f for this assignment and the quick turnaround (nine days) suggests he's well. Pinjarra won well at Southwell and commands respect, as does Papa Don't Preach.
Prediction : 1st The Cola Kid 2nd Pinjarra 3rd Papa Dont Preach
