UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

MBAPPE met trouble in running in his two starts prior to getting the upper hand over C&D last week. He could be tough to overhaul again, with Donagh Murphy's 5lb claim negating the mandatory penalty for that success. Berning Hot was less than two lengths back in third and has a feasible chance of turning the form around if mustering a little extra. Brinton and Galaxy Wonder are other old rivals who can have a say.
Prediction : 1st Mbappe 2nd Berning Hot 3rd Brinton

TOO HOT TO TANGO has already been placed three times and staying in novice company can help Hughie Morrison's consistent filly get off the mark. Nuptown Girl is respected after a close second on her debut for Ian Williams in a similar race at Southwell. A repeat of that should see her in the mix. Bronte Beach, who was picked up cheaply by Archie Watson from Godolphin, can also figure with a step forward from her sole start for the Gosdens last year.
Prediction : 1st Too Hot To Tango 2nd Nuptown Girl 3rd Bronte Beach

HIGH ON HOPE, who supplemented a Chelmsford triumph with a cosy win over C&D, is a key player bidding to compete a hat-trick from bottom weight. He is back up in class and this isn't a straightforward task, but he is worth sticking with. The Lost King resumed from a break to score over 7f here and is a big threat if in the same mood, with Oisin Murphy reunited to judge the fractions back over a mile. Popmaster and Nikovo should also be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st High On Hope 2nd The Lost King 3rd Popmaster

COURT OF SESSION returned to winning ways in style at Wolverhampton last week and the manner of that success gave the impression that a 4lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from backing it up. The fact that Connor Planas takes 3lb off further enhances his credentials and he is tough to oppose. Portoro has been consistent in recent months and has to be respected following his second here over 6f. Others to note are Bullington Bry, who sports cheekpieces for the first time, and Sanditon.
Prediction : 1st Court Of Session 2nd Portoro 3rd Bullington Bry

I'M WORKIN ON IT produced a career-best effort when just getting up over C&D last month and further improvement may be on the cards due to the application of cheekpieces for the first time. Echalar got off the mark at Wolverhampton and he has to enter the reckoning off a 3lb higher figure, while Mythical Composer and Follow Your Heart head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Im Workin On It 2nd Echalar 3rd Mythical Composer

Dust Cover successfully made it two wins from his last three starts at Southwell and holds an obvious chance, but a 2lb higher mark makes life tougher. With that in mind, IMPERIAL TROOPER gets the nod. Jennie Candlish's charge bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot at Newcastle and a repeat of that performance might suffice. Of the remainder, two-time course winner Fiddlers Green makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Trooper 2nd Dust Cover 3rd Fiddlers Green

Dr Ali accounted for Magna by a neck over track and trip last month and it would be no surprise to see him confirm that form, despite the revised terms. Man On A Mission lurks on a tempting mark and is noted, but CUBAN FIESTA gets the vote. The five-year-old produced an improved display to take the silver medal home over 7f at Lingfield and can cope with this drop in trip to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Fiesta 2nd Dr Ali 3rd Man On A Mission
