ITV Racing tips: one key runner from each of the nine races on ITV4 on Tuesday
12.45 Kempton
Ladbrokes Daily Odds Boosts Introductory Juvenile Hurdle, 2m
Artistic Choice thrived with the switch to jumping when making a winning hurdles debut at Catterick and takes a step up in class for trainer Michael Bell.
Fellow Newmarket handler Ben Brookhouse is set to saddle his first jumps runner with Dark Mystery, while Him Malaya is a brother to classy jumper Malaya.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Him Malaya
Returned with sore shins after debut run; this softer ground may suit; respected
1.05 Chepstow
Coral Get Closer To The Action Handicap Chase, 2m3½f
Enzo D'Airy made a winning return from a mammoth layoff over the course and distance this month and clashes with Fugitif, who was not disgraced at Cheltenham's November meeting last time. The classy Allmankind drops down in class as he bids to rediscover some of his best form.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Phoenix Way
Not seen since pulled up in April but could still have potential over fences
1.20 Kempton
Ladbrokes Wayward Lad Novices' Chase, 2m Grade 2
Shishkin and Edwardstone have used this race as a springboard to Arkle success for the last two years and while this year does not have the same calibre of horse, Boothill was a respectable second behind Jonbon last time. Aucunrisque was a Grade 2 winner over hurdles at the track last season and is among the opposition.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Lac De Constance
3-3 over hurdles and impressive chase debut at this track; not to be underestimated
1.40 Chepstow
Coral Finale Juvenile Hurdle, 2m Grade 2
Scriptwriter was an impressive winner of a similar contest at Cheltenham in November and is one of two runners in the race for Milton Harris, who also saddles Havaila. Alan King sends impressive Wetherby winner Spartan Army here instead of Kempton, while Comfort Zone must be respected for Joseph O'Brien.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Comfort Zone
Irish raider placed in a good-looking Grade 3 last time; seems to stay well
1.55 Kempton
Ladbrokes 'We Play Together' Mares' Handicap Hurdle, 3m½f
Coquelicot has rediscovered her winning touch on her last two starts and bids for a hat-trick. I Spy A Diva bids to go one better and rattle off a remarkable four-timer, while topweight Get A Tonic is ultra-consistent and has performed well in higher company previously.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Get A Tonic
Second in a deep handicap at Haydock and she might well come on for that run
2.10 Chepstow
Coral Racing Club Handicap Hurdle, 2m7½f
Green Book was a good fifth in the Albert Bartlett Novices' Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival and makes his return from 263 days off. Ben Clarke, Ben Jones and owner Adrian Paterson team up with Just A Dime before their big Welsh Grand National bid, while Paul Nicholls is doubly represented by Flemenstide and Sabrina.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Bells Of Peterboro
Won this race 12 months ago; meets some unexposed rivals but has solid credentials
2.30 Kempton
Ladbrokes Desert Orchid Chase, 2m Grade 2
Brilliant Tingle Creek Chase winner Edwardstone takes his next step towards the Queen Mother Champion Chase, but faces a fascinating clash with Nube Negra in a race that could unearth Energumene's chief rival. It is not a two-horse race however, with Champion Chase second Funambule Sivola heading the opposition.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Edwardstone
Clear career best to win the Tingle Creek last time; a repeat would make him hard to beat
2.50 Chepstow
Coral Welsh Grand National Handicap Chase, 3m6½f
Quick Wave was an impressive winner of the London National last time and aims to provide Venetia Williams with more glory in the race, but faces a formidable opponent in Troytown winner The Big Dog.
The Galloping Bear will aim to provide Ben Clarke with the biggest win of his training career, while Pats Fancy leads the team for the home nation and Rebecca Curtis.
SPOTLIGHT TIP: Quick Wave
Easy win at Sandown (3m5f, good to soft) on reappearance; fine chance with 4lb penalty
Ladbrokes Play '"1-2-Free" On Football Handicap Chase, 3m
Remastered was a fine second in the Coral Gold Cup last time but must give weight away to all of his rivals, which includes last year's winner Five Star Getaway. His trainer Christian Williams will also be represented by Kitty's Light, while Fontaine Collonges made a winning return at Haydock in November.
SPOTLIGHT TIP:Five Star Getaway
Back on same mark as when winning this contest last year; strong claims
