UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

VEIL OF CLOUDS has shown promise on both previous starts and, armed with all the allowances, the daughter of Pinatubo has a good chance of getting off the mark at the third time of asking. Khaleejy carried a penalty for his debut win at Newcastle in a similar event over C&D and that fourth-placed effort reads well, with another bold showing likely. Kenergy and Rajiba are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Veil Of Clouds 2nd Khaleejy 3rd Kenergy

ONE OF THE BOYS was second to an above-average rival on debut at Lingfield and is a likely type to make good progress. The winner of that race had experience on his side and already had things sewn up by the time the selection got going. Gelded since, this half-brother to three winners offers strong appeal with improvement likely. Korbut and Gold Star Gazing are the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st One Of The Boys 2nd Korbut 3rd Gold Star Gazing

Indian Land and Bayside are the only previous winners in the line-up and command respect on that basis, while Rhodes Runner and Bin Waary have shown ability and merit betting checks. However, TIME SAXON WARRIOR has got better with each run so far and this half-brother to a couple of 7f all-weather winners can make further strides from a workable first mark.
Prediction : 1st Time Saxon Warrior 2nd Indian Land 3rd Bayside

ZABEEL ALKABEIR clearly needed time and benefited from that by winning two of his three starts last season. The four-year-old's sole defeat came when thrown in at the deep end in the Park Stakes at Doncaster and he appears capable of stepping forward from an opening mark of 83. Blue Prince has been in fine fettle in 2026 and is respected after a 6lb rise for scoring at Salisbury. Others to note are Maximising and Bold Suitor.
Prediction : 1st Zabeel Alkabeir 2nd Blue Prince 3rd Maximising

BREAKDANCER's last appearance in the UK saw him come out on top at Southwell last August. Despite not winning in the Middle East, Simon & Ed Crisford's gelding ran with plenty of credit on several occasions and dropping back to a mile on his return to these shores can help the four-year-old get back to winning ways. Returning to the all-weather may see Zatsgood in a better light after disappointing at Leicester, while Billy Mill completes the shortlist following a string of consistent efforts.
Prediction : 1st Breakdancer 2nd Zatsgood 3rd Billy Mill

Grade 2-winning hurdler Tripoli Flyer has to be of interest on his handicap bow in this sphere off a mark of 72, having finished behind the likes of Constitution Hill and Water To Wine. Bulletin is expected to be in the mix after a solid campaign to date, but MASTER VINTNER is preferred. A two-time winner in 2025, Ralph Beckett's gelding built on his Newmarket return when runner-up over C&D and further improvement is likely.
Prediction : 1st Master Vintner 2nd Tripoli Flyer 3rd Bulletin

Perfect Location showed her appreciation for the drop back to this trip by doubling her career tally at Goodwood but she is 5lb higher now and comes up against some interesting handicap newcomers, headed by NIGHT SHINING. Much more would have been expected of the Dark Angel filly when she was bought for 475,000gns as a yearling, but she appears to be getting the hang of things and an initial mark of 73 is certainly workable. Trinculo falls into a similar bracket, and Evenepoel is worth a look on his return from a break.
Prediction : 1st Night Shining 2nd Trinculo 3rd Perfect Location

BRAZEN IDOL showed much more sparkle when just denied at Ffos Las last week, a performance which earned him a 2lb rise. That doesn't come into effect until after this race, though, and John Ryan's C&D winner can take full advantage. Initial Blue is another of several in this field with a previous track-and-trip success to their name and has been a model of consistency on the all-weather this year. Invincible Speed and Travel Agent are also happiest on an artificial surface, while cheekpieces could help get the best out of Massimo Blue.
Prediction : 1st Brazen Idol 2nd Initial Blue 3rd Invincible Speed
