Harry Wilson returns with his advice for all six races from Kempton on Friday, and the two races live on ITV from Aintree and Wetherby.


12.45 Kempton
"Get Your Ladbrokes Free Kempton Bet" Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Barlovento

Barlovento shaped well when second on his chasing debut at Exeter last month, getting outbattled on the run-in only by the reopposing U Cant Be Serious, who has won again since but is now 7lb worse off. Barlovento was returning from wind surgery and a 300-day break, so is entitled to take a big step forward, and looks well treated from a 4lb higher mark.

1.05 Aintree
William Hill Formby Novices' Hurdle (Grade 1), 2m1f

Harry's tip: Mydaddypaddy

Mydaddypaddy has oozed class in his two victories over hurdles, most recently coming from last to first on the bridle before quickening up smartly and tearing away after the final flight at Haydock. He's held in high regard by trainer Dan Skelton and can take this step up in grade in his stride.

1.20 Kempton
Ladbrokes Kauto Star Novices' Chase (Grade 1), 3m

Harry's tip: Wendigo

Wendigo was a talented novice hurdler and has shown good form since being sent over fences, losing out narrowly to a subsequent Listed winner on his chasing debut before landing the Grade 2 John Francome at Newbury. He was strong at the finish that day and should be well suited to stepping back up in trip.

1.35 Wetherby
William Hill Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase, 3m

Harry's tip: Konfusion

Konfusion has shown improved form on every completed start over fences, most recently stringing out a good field when a 15-length winner of the Rehearsal Chase at Newcastle. He could have been hit harder than a 10lb rise, given the third has won since, and can extend his unbeaten record at Wetherby to three.

1.55 Kempton
Ladbrokes Christmas Hurdle (Grade 1), 2m

Harry's tip: Sir Gino

Sir Gino has fitness to prove, given he hasn't been seen since winning on his chasing debut here last December, and is now back over hurdles, but he's unbeaten and looked a class act when landing the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle on his reappearance last season. If he produces anything like that, he'll be very hard to beat.

2.30 Kempton
Ladbrokes King George VI Chase (Grade 1), 3m

Harry's tip: Jango Baie (Already advised at 16-1)

I’ve had one horse in mind for the King George since the start of the season and that is Jango Baie, who couldn’t have been more impressive when landing the 1965 Chase at Ascot last month. He was strong at the line over the longest trip he’s faced, having travelled well and jumped brilliantly, and could have even more improvement lurking as a stayer.

3.05 Kempton
"Join Ladbrokes Bet £5 Get £30" Maiden Hurdle, 2m

Harry's tip: Lock Stock

Lock Stock had three subsequent winners behind when second on his hurdling debut at Worcester, and narrowly failed to go one better when headed late on, having tried to make all, at Market Rasen last time. He should be well suited to Kempton and drying conditions can see him open his account.

3.40 Kempton
Ladbrokes "Best Odds Guaranteed In Racing" Handicap Hurdle, 2m5f

Harry's tip: Believeitanducan

Believeitanducan is a decent stayer on the Flat and seemingly appreciated being stepped up in trip when landing a 2m4½f handicap hurdle at Plumpton this month. A 4lb rise for that is offset by Philip Armson's useful 3lb claim and he could have plenty more to offer at this sort of distance.
