UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Only In Manila and New Bay Star have identical ratings so there should be little between them, although the latter is more likely to appreciate this test of stamina. Only In Manila's stable companion Cheshire Cat could leave his ordinary debut over a mile here behind him, but ROKER ROAR is preferred. Andrew Balding's colt took a pleasing step forward to finish fourth at Newcastle, despite meeting trouble close home, and he is bred to excel over middle distances.
Prediction : 1st Roker Roar 2nd New Bay Star 3rd Only In Manila

THE STONE POWER might not have improved quite as hoped between his first and second starts, but he did split two subsequent winners in third. The well-bred son of Kingman is fancied to appreciate the return to 7f and can make it third-time lucky. Breathe Easy was right behind the selection at Southwell so has to be feared, while Leonetto has found just one too good on each of his last two appearances and shouldn't remain a maiden for too much longer. Zambezi River, a 170,000gns yearling, is the most interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st The Stone Power 2nd Breathe Easy 3rd Leonetto

WAISTCOAT can usually be relied upon to run his race and arrives on the back of a clear-cut Chelmsford success, with Em Four only fifth. His penalty means he must run off a figure in the 70s for the first time in his career, but he may be open to even more improvement. State Of Madness invariably attracts market attention and has made great strides since joining Charlie Clover so should do so again. City Cyclone was just behind a subsequent winner when a close-up third over C&D and rounds out the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Waistcoat 2nd State Of Madness 3rd City Cyclone

Appier had Bashful Boy two and a quarter lengths behind in third when he won over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton. However, the latter is 3lb better off and could turn things around. Even so, the well-handicapped EDUCATOR might be the answer. Open to improvement over this trip, the Henrietta Knight-trained seven-year-old is dangerous to underestimate, with the booking of Billy Loughnane a highly positive appointment.
Prediction : 1st Educator 2nd Bashful Boy 3rd Appier

Towerlands was skilfully placed to register a hat-trick, although cracks appeared when he failed to justify favouritism over 7f at Newcastle most recently. Stepping back up to a mile can help but preference is still for HIGH ON HOPE, whose recent Chelmsford success advertised his battling qualities and he is only 1lb higher. Gilet and Billy Mill are other appealing options.
Prediction : 1st High On Hope 2nd Towerlands 3rd Gilet

FIGHT YOUR CORNER seemed well suited by stepping up to a mile at Southwell last month and could have plenty more to offer now he goes handicapping from a lenient opening mark. Port Road made the most of a drop in the ratings when he scored over C&D a fortnight ago and can cement his authority over the third-placed I Am Me, who has been nudged down 1lb and has each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Fight Your Corner 2nd Port Road 3rd I Am Me

Woodstock City has to be respected following his short-head second at Lingfield earlier in the month. That said, marginal preference is for the unexposed SHRIMP SHADY, who bounced back to form when hitting the crossbar at the same venue. With the prospect of further improvement likely, Andrew Balding's colt can come out on top. Son Of Man and Ludo's Landing are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Shrimp Shady 2nd Woodstock City 3rd Son Of Man

Trust No One accounted for ONYEISI when winning at Newcastle and has to be respected as a result. The latter, who again filled the runner-up berth at Lingfield last weekend, is better off at the weights, though, and the application of a first-time visor may help him to reverse the form. The rest all have questions to answer, but Von Dutch is the pick of them on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Onyeisi 2nd Trust No One 3rd Von Dutch
