UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

ROMANTIC SYMPHONY is a full-sister to top-flight winners Yibir and Wild Illusion and showed plenty of the family talent when justifying odds-on favouritism at Newmarket. She is around the 25/1 mark for the Oaks and another impressive performance here could book her ticket to a Classic trial. Littlecote may have a fitness edge after her Southwell second, but bigger threats might lurk among the unraced brigade. Light Of Paris cost 500,000gns and is a half-sister to a German Group 1 winner. The selection's stablemate Fashion's Fancy is from the family of Rebel's Romance, while 115,000gns yearling Aukus has plenty to recommend her too.
Prediction : 1st Romantic Symphony 2nd Light Of Paris 3rd Aukus

GO RIMBAUD chased home the well-touted Talk Of New York here and then finished second to another smart prospect of Godolphin's in Fort Rock. The Palace Pier colt is clearly going the right way and sets a good standard. There are some interesting newcomers in opposition, not least Turret, who cost Juddmonte 580,000 euros and is from the top Coolmore family of Hydrangea and Hermosa. Besieged, who is out of Falmouth winner Snow Lantern, and Electric Dreams weren't much cheaper, while Romanticizing was bought for 180,000gns and is related to some smart performers.
Prediction : 1st Go Rimbaud 2nd Turret 3rd Besieged

Domenico Contarini was an expensive breeze-up purchase and showed ability when runner-up at Newcastle. He will build on that, and better is also expected from Zatsgood now that he has a comeback second at the Gosforth Park venue under his belt. Flying Squad has been gelded since a satisfactory Southwell introduction, but HERALDRY is fancied to take the biggest step forward. The Gosdens' son of Kingman was in need of the experience at Newcastle in November, but still offered plenty of encouragement and will probably stay further than this.
Prediction : 1st Heraldry 2nd Domenico Contarini 3rd Zatsgood

ASH WEDNESDAY has a commendable record on the all-weather and he continues to run with credit, most recently when second at Southwell. That defeat came at the hands of a relatively unexposed rival and given that a 1lb rise means he's still 1lb below his last winning mark, the son of Outstrip is likely to go close again. Atmosphere scores highly for consistency himself and the booking of Oisin Murphy is noteworthy, while others to note include the returning Jersey Maverick and Charlie Johnston's Tattie Bogle.
Prediction : 1st Ash Wednesday 2nd Atmosphere 3rd Jersey Maverick

Silver medals have been something of a theme during RASTNET's short racing career but there is nothing wrong with her attitude. Despite having just the one novice triumph to her name, the daughter of Fastnet Rock continues to creep up in the handicap but she's still improving and dropping a furlong should suit. Club Class shares a similarly consistent profile and is sure to run her race once again, while Schemaya and Caramay are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Rastnet 2nd Club Class 3rd Schemaya

Both Hallo Spaceboy and Return Of The Gods could be well treated off their opening marks, but it was hard not to be impressed by the way in which ARRY UP won over C&D recently. The manner of that success suggests he might still be ahead of the handicapper under a 6lb penalty and despite a sharp rise in grade, Rod Millman's charge gets the vote.
Prediction : 1st Arry Up 2nd Hallo Spaceboy 3rd Return Of The Gods

The money was down for WATERMELON SUGAR when he turned his form around at Lingfield before Christmas and he backed that up courtesy of two solid efforts there this year, including another victory last time. It might be worth sticking with the seven-year-old while he's in such good nick, although this won't be easy because Hint Of The Jungle is on a hat-trick and Bath scorer Twilight Madness is turned out quickly under a penalty.
Prediction : 1st Watermelon Sugar 2nd Hint Of The Jungle 3rd Twilight Madness

TAKE THE BOAT arrives in good form and performed much better than her finishing position suggests here two starts ago. Denied narrowly at Chelmsford latest, dropping back to this trip should suit the four-year-old and she can get back to winning ways. Fravanco is a C&D winner to note and returns to the level after a spin over hurdles at this venue, while Mrembo and Iwantmytimewithyou could also go well.
Prediction : 1st Take The Boat 2nd Fravanco 3rd Iwantmytimewithyou
