12.45 ‘Get Your Ladbrokes Free Kempton Bet’ Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase

NOBLE PARK has impressed in winning both starts to date over fences and could prove up to making it three wins on the spin. SECRET DES DIEUX ran well when third at Newbury and is another key player, likewise BARLOVENTO, who is 7lb better off with U Can’t Be Serious from when a narrow second on chase debut.

Tips: NOBLE PARK, SECRET DES DIEUX & BARLOVENTO

13.20 Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices’ Chase (In Memory Of Nigel Clark) (Grade 1)

I’m really strong on the chances of SALVER. He was extremely consistent over hurdles prior improving from his chase debut third when opening his account in a Grade 2 event three weeks ago. He thoroughly enjoyed the step up to three miles, and with so much more to come, this youngster can take top level honours.

Tips: SALVER

13.55 Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle

If SIR GINO is anywhere near his best, then he should have too much for the field, including GOLDEN ACE. He destroyed Ballyburn when last seen and is unbeaten in six starts. He remains with superstar potential, so a return win would be well on the cards. As a back up though, I’ll include the Champion Hurdle and Fighting Fifth Hurdle winner.

Tips: SIR GINO & GOLDEN ACE

14.30 Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (Grade 1)

GAELIC WARRIOR is going from strength to strength. He’s won his last three starts and the form of his Bowl win at Aintree has worked out well. He beat Fact To File on his return and can confirm the form over this distance. JANGO BAIE and THE JUKEBOX MAN are significant dangers representing the home team. Three against the field in the feature race on the card.

Tips: GAELIC WARRIOR, JANGO BAIE & THE JUKEBOX MAN

KLUB DE REVE has shaped well on both hurdle starts this season and his stable won this race two years ago. He’s a contender, as is debutant IONIAN for Nicky Henderson. The other one I’ll throw into the mix is LOCK STOCK, who could get the ideal setup and is the choice of Ben Jones.

Tips: KLUB DE REVE, IONIAN & LOCK STOCK

15.40 Ladbrokes ‘Best Odds Guaranteed In Racing‘ Handicap Hurdle

ONEWAYWEST has improved leaps and bounds of late, winning his last two starts in good style, so the hat-trick could be imminent. HAMSIYANN finished a good second last time out and is another to consider, along with BELIEVITANDUCAN. He’s won three of his five hurdle outings.

Tips: ONEWAYWEST, HAMSIYANN & BELIEVITANDUCAN
