UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

KODIAC CITY is fancied to successfully concede weight to his rivals in this novice heat. Richard Hughes' charge shoulders a penalty for scoring at Southwell on debut and can be forgiven a lacklustre effort in the Group 3 Solario Stakes when he missed the break and was too keen. Dropping in class for this assignment, he can get back on track at the main expense of a couple of interesting newcomers in the shape of Donegan and Playing Card.
Prediction : 1st Kodiac City 2nd Donegan 3rd Playing Card

PURE CONCEPT should take a bit of beating in division two of the novice stakes. He wasn't fancied on debut here last month, but went into plenty of notebooks following an eye-catching second behind a more experienced, 91-rated Godolphin colt. With normal improvement, Richard Hannon's charge should do the business here with newcomer Beryozka and Cashinoroyale put forward as the main dangers.
Prediction : 1st Pure Concept 2nd Beryozka 3rd Cashinoroyale

NOTHING BUT LOVE is improving between runs and won at Lingfield last time when the money was down for her. She won going away over 7f on that occasion so the step back up to 1m should be fine, and a mark of 68 for her handicap debut looks workable. A lacklustre Ffos Las effort aside, Sunshine And Roses has held her form well since scoring at Wolverhampton in July and is noted along with Protectrix.
Prediction : 1st Nothing But Love 2nd Sunshine And Roses 3rd Protectrix

SHOW ME GLORY sets a decent enough standard on her opening third over 7f at Newmarket and natural improvement should see her go very close here. Duchess Of Immatin has shaped encouragingly in her two starts to date, particularly over this trip on debut, and she is respected under the red-hot Billy Loughnane, while Letter To Hermione makes most appeal of the two newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Show Me Glory 2nd Duchess Of Immatin 3rd Letter To Hermione

ICONIC DAWN won impressively when equipped with first-time cheekpieces (worn again) at Lingfield and a subsequent 6lb rise in the ratings might not be enough to anchor her if arriving in the same mood. Methgal has either won or placed on his last four starts and is likely to be in the shake-up once again, while Lahina Bay, Spacewoman and No Claims Bonus also hold claims.
Prediction : 1st Iconic Dawn 2nd Methgal 3rd Lahina Bay

VICTORY SOUND won a lot easier than the neck margin may suggest at Newcastle and effectively 1lb better off this evening with Harry Burns' claim taken into consideration, he gets the vote to follow up. Whitesnake won pretty much as she liked at Lingfield and should remain competitive off this 7lb higher mark, while Spirit Of Breeze is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Victory Sound 2nd Whitesnake 3rd Spirit Of Breeze

Crossbar failed to supplement his debut victory over C&D when third at Wetherby, but that was still a creditable effort and he is respected on handicap debut. However, MANLY FIREBALL has only found one too good the last twice, most recently in first-time cheekpieces over track and trip, and Billy Loughnane keeps the ride. Of the remainder, three-time course-and-distance scorer Chalk Mountain makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Manly Fireball 2nd Crossbar 3rd Chalk Mountain

JOSEPH bolted up to return to winning ways over track and trip at the start of the month and even an 8lb rise might underestimate the level of authority he showed that day. If the four-year-old is in similar form, he will prove hard to beat. Wardlaw took the silver medal home in this class at Thirsk on his latest outing and is likely to be thereabouts again. Aphrodite Spirit is next best.
Prediction : 1st Joseph 2nd Wardlaw 3rd Aphrodite Spirit

Boston Run had The Bay Warrior a length behind in second when victorious at Lingfield on his penultimate start and is expected to confirm that form to go close. However, GOLDEN PHASE lost her action when outrunning her odds of 22/1 to finish fourth at Sandown last month and was kindly dropped 1lb. With Callum Hutchinson now doing the steering, she looks the way to go. Arundel completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Golden Phase 2nd Boston Run 3rd Arundel
