UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

A few of these will fancy their chances, and only a tentative vote can go to VALENTINE BOY. Things have really clicked into gear for Luke Dace's gelding of late and he has tasted success over C&D on two of his last four appearances. A 4lb rise for his most recent triumph looks fair and further progress isn't out of the question. Shamacid hit the woodwork at Lingfield and remains of interest with a 7lb apprentice enlisted, while others to note include Kit Gabriel, Forca Timao and Joseph.
Prediction : 1st Valentine Boy 2nd Shamacid 3rd Kit Gabriel

Phalanx Nation did well to finish as close as she did on debut having pulled hard for much of the contest, but Archie Watson's filly might do better with that run under her belt. Even so, Andrew Balding could hold all the aces with his pair MOONRISE and Wise And Wonderful, of which the former is preferred. The daughter of Churchill has a decent pedigree and Oisin Murphy in the saddle is a positive. Esha'a is worth a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Moonrise 2nd Phalanx Nation 3rd Wise And Wonderful

ERUDITION confirmed the promise that he displayed on debut when only beaten a neck into second at Newbury. With further improvement likely, the son of Mehmas could be hard to beat. Makerstoun cannot be discounted after his C&D second, while Khaleejy and Distant Moon are others with valid form claims. Any market support for Slalom would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Erudition 2nd Makerstoun 3rd Distant Moon

CONSPIRACIST can make a winning debut as the half-brother to Group 1 winner Sajir stands out on pedigree. That said, Back At One cost 160,000 euros as a yearling and any market support for him would have to be noted. Masked Warrior disappointed at Leicester last time, but it is too soon to be writing him off given his juvenile form.
Prediction : 1st Conspiracist 2nd Back At One 3rd Masked Warrior

It is very hard to oppose WATER TO WINE after he justified strong market support to win easily on his debut at Newbury. The son of Kingman looks to have a very bright future and he can take this race on his way to bigger targets. Humphrey is half-brother to Gregory and Lionel so he should not be discounted, despite his lack of experience. Tripoli Flyer ran well over hurdles when last seen and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Water To Wine 2nd Humphrey 3rd Tripoli Flyer

Although Ya Karim didn't look the easiest of rides when hanging his chance away on his return at Yarmouth, a subsequent gelding operation could see him in a better light on his handicap bow. Regardless, CAVIAR COWBOY opened his account off a mark of 75 at Lingfield last month and scored with enough in hand to suggest that he can overcome a 7lb higher mark. King's Trust is also of interest on his seasonal debut.
Prediction : 1st Caviar Cowboy 2nd Ya Karim 3rd Kings Trust

Having ended her winter campaign with a respectable fourth-placed handicap bow at Newcastle, TIME LOOP looks more than capable of scoring on this ease in class. William Haggas' mare is a potential improver stepping up in distance and she is slightly more compelling than Fox Avatar. The Frankel gelding was last seen landing the spoils at Lingfield in August and he should have more to come over this trip. Bulletin and Ernst Blofeld are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Time Loop 2nd Fox Avatar 3rd Bulletin

Robusto bounced back to form with a victory at Wolverhampton last month and he merits respect on his follow-up bid. That said, a 3lb higher mark could weigh him down in this deeper event and GOOLOOGONG is more compelling. The six-year-old is a useful dual-purpose performer and arrives here on the back of a C&D victory. Filibustering shares a similar profile to the selection and is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Gooloogong 2nd Robusto 3rd Filibustering
