UK Horse Racing Tips: Kempton

REAL BULLET arrives carrying a double penalty for a brace of victories at Windsor during the summer and the son of Mehmas was gelded after the latter success. Despite giving 14lb and upwards to the opposition, George Boughey's charge appears to have been found another solid opportunity to maintain his unbeaten record. Birkett Bank is entitled to step forward from her debut second at Wolverhampton, while Brynmair Gold and Till Then appeal most of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Real Bullet 2nd Birkett Bank 3rd Brynmair Gold

Arctic Tsar made a successful nursery debut at Leicester earlier in the month when benefiting from the step up to 7f and more is expected following a 6lb rise. Rollthedicebaby has faced some stiff assignments of late and an ease in grade entitles her to be a lot more competitive, but a chance is taken with LOUIS THE FIFTH. Cheekpieces go on after not running too badly at Epsom and a more conventional track appears likely to yield progression. Reddy, Hidden Beyond and Shemiyla Star are others with valid credentials in what appears to be a solid contest for the grade.
Prediction : 1st Louis The Fifth 2nd Arctic Tsar 3rd Rollthedicebaby

Charlie Appleby's team couldn't be in better form at present and MUQARRABIN has the credentials to make a winning debut. His dam was a Group 2 winner in Italy and the 450,000gns purchase at Tattersalls Book 1 gets the vote in what should prove to be an informative event. Wootton King is a half-brother to a pair of Group 1 winners in Hong Kong and commands the utmost respect. Others for the shortlist include Al Thara and Selvage.
Prediction : 1st Muqarrabin 2nd Wootton King 3rd Al Thara

Votadini now flies the Godolphin flag on his own in this contest and the son of Make Believe is bred to make an impact. Frankel colt Sabulo also catches the eye on debut, but preference is for experience and JINMAN improved markedly from his first to second run when posting a creditable third at Leicester so he could be the one.
Prediction : 1st Jinman 2nd Votadini 3rd Sabulo

HOVE RANGER was quite taking when scoring readily at Lingfield last month and is beginning to look like a horse who prefers racing on a synthetic surface. That was his second win in as many starts on the all-weather because he'd previously scored here over 7f in February. The three-year-old gelding makes more appeal than Lingfield scorer Amber Honey and Karakula Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Hove Ranger 2nd Amber Honey 3rd Karakula Dancer

VENETIAN LION boasts an attractive, progressive profile and it's easy to see why he'll prove popular in this handicap for the potent William Haggas/Tom Marquand combination. Assuming he can transfer his sparkling turf form to the all-weather, and a Southwell second in July gives punters hope, then he should go very close to completing a four-timer. Of the others, keep an eye on Elan D'or and Le Samourai.
Prediction : 1st Venetian Lion 2nd Elan Dor 3rd Le Samourai

Having finished fourth in the Group 2 Park Stakes at Doncaster earlier this month, Wise Approach merits strong consideration in these calmer waters. Charlie Appleby's charge will have no issues dropping back in distance, but KIND OF BLUE makes greater appeal. Although James Fanshawe's charge has found life tougher in Group 1 company on his last two outings, most recently in the Sprint Cup at Haydock, a reproduction of his runner-up effort in a Group 2 at York back in May may suffice. Montassib is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Kind Of Blue 2nd Wise Approach 3rd Montassib

TAMBORA continued his upward trajectory when scoring with something in hand at Sandown in July and could be one to keep the right side of. A 6lb higher mark is unlikely to halt further progress and he gets the vote over fellow three-year-old Cape Fear. Andrew Balding's colt wasn't disgraced when fifth in a heritage handicap at Ascot and this looks slightly easier. Handicap debutant Time Thief and Interstate are others of interest.
Prediction : 1st Tambora 2nd Cape Fear 3rd Time Thief

Vitalline returned to form when filling the runner-up spot at Wolverhampton and is one the likelier winners in a race lacking depth. However, the veteran might not be as effective over this shorter trip these days and Bath fourth MAY ENCOUNTER edges the vote as a result. Henry Candy's filly has been edging down the handicap this term and she may be able to take advantage of a nice draw in stall two. The lightly-raced Kyoto is a feasible each-way alternative.
Prediction : 1st May Encounter 2nd Vitalline 3rd Kyoto
