UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

Sonnerie Power chased home an in-form rival over C&D last time so is respected from a 1lb higher mark, but SARANGPUR gets the nod. Now two from two since joining Richard Hughes last month, his pedigree suggests he'll have no issues with a switch to the all-weather and Toby Moore is a notable booking. Big Bear Hug is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Sarangpur 2nd Sonnerie Power 3rd Big Bear Hug

MEENNAA hit the woodwork over C&D on her debut before occupying the same position at Hamilton, but she can put that experience to good use now and have her day in the sun. Spirit Tango fetched a pretty penny and made a pleasing introduction at Yarmouth. The Sioux Nation filly could take a step forward, as could Absolute Diamond, whilst it would come as no surprise were newcomers Clarity and Speed Nation to figure given their connections.
Prediction : 1st Meennaa 2nd Spirit Tango 3rd Absolute Diamond

ALSHERA hasn't been seen since she made a winning debut at Kempton in November, but it's interesting that she still holds an entry in the Lillie Langtry at this stage and if wanting to take up that engagement, the daughter of Sea The Stars ought to be winning this under a penalty. Kashooda and Marianita both shaped with promise on their introductions and might pose the biggest threat.
Prediction : 1st Alshera 2nd Kashooda 3rd Marianita

CAPRELO was never involved on his return at Newbury, but that effort can be excused because Hughie Morrison's gelding seems to be a much better animal on a synthetic surface. Two from three over C&D, with the latest of those wins coming back in September, he is fancied to get back on track at the Sunbury circuit. Baileys Khelstar struck in a small field last time but he remains of interest, and don't rule out One Cool Dreamer, who looked ready for a return to further at Wolverhampton in March.
Prediction : 1st Caprelo 2nd Baileys Khelstar 3rd One Cool Dreamer

Rose Dawes got a great tune out of BETTY LEMON at Ffos Las, with a switch to more aggressive tactics helping Hughie Morrison's filly get off the mark. There is every chance she could be let loose on the lead again and, if that is the case, she will be hard to reel in. Blue Celestial had to settle for third when favourite to make the most of a return to maiden company at Wolverhampton. She is capable of making her presence felt but there are less-exposed contenders, such as Thestral, Music Academy and Roi De Coeur, who are feared more.
Prediction : 1st Betty Lemon 2nd Thestral 3rd Music Academy

THAPA VC may be in the autumn of his career, but there are still races to be won with him if last month's narrow defeats at Doncaster and Bath are anything to go by. Oisin Murphy steered him to an unlucky fourth at Wolverhampton prior to those efforts and is back aboard seeking redemption. Relevant Range had a subsequent winner right behind him when touched off at Musselburgh and will be dangerous if reproducing that form. Gladiadora has generally held her form well this campaign and must be considered closely.
Prediction : 1st Thapa VC 2nd Relevant Range 3rd Gladiadora

Beau Jardine ended a drought of more than two years when accounting for an odds-on shot at Lingfield and should give his running again. Sub Thirteen and Look Back Smiling are more effective on turf, whereas Devious Devan and Spirit Lead Me will be happier back on synthetics, but all merit respect. All surfaces seem to come alike to UNION ISLAND and with Charlie Johnston's gelding maintaining a solid level of consistency since a surprise Leicester victory in May, he looks the safest option.
Prediction : 1st Union Island 2nd Beau Jardine 3rd Devious Devan
