ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the five races on ITV on Monday

12.45 Kempton
Ladbrokes Long Walk Hurdle (Grade 1), 3m½f

Champ and Paisley Park are set for a rematch after their memorable clash at Newbury in November. Both have won this contest before and are likely to be involved at the finish again. Coral Hurdle winner Goshen cannot be ruled out.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Miranda

Easy winner upped to 3m here five weeks ago, taking Kempton record to 2-2; respected

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

McFabulous landed the Grade 2 John Francome Chase last month. Stablemate Gelino Bello has a couple of wins to his name this season, while Thyme Hill is a Grade 1 winner and has to be considered.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Galia Des Liteaux

Looked good at Bangor and, armed with the mares' allowance, she's much respected

1.35 Wetherby
Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase (Grade 3), 3m

Favourite Shan Blue is making his first start since April but holds obvious claims for Dan Skelton. Chantry House often has a top performance in him and could be involved. Fanion D'Estruval, Zanza and Lostintranslation are also ones to note.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Fanion D'Estruval

Staying-on third in the 2m5f Grade 1 Ascot Chase provides optimism regarding this trip

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

Constitution Hill has handled every challenge thrown his way and the unbeaten five-year-old is a long odds-on favourite. He beat stablemate Epatante by 12 lengths in the Fighting Fifth and she reopposes. Goshen, Metier and Sceau Royal have strong CVs.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Constitution Hill

Took rules record to 4-4 with a highly impressive performance in the Fighting Fifth

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

Another red-hot renewal and Bravemansgame, who won on this card last year, and L'Homme Presse are battling it out for favouritism. Ahoy Senor, Envoi Allen, Hitman and Frodon are others to consider.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Bravemansgame

Major chasing talent; impressive over C&D last Christmas and on reappearance; solid chance
