12:45 Kempton Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

A faller at Warwick on his chase debut in October, Idalko Bihoue emphatically put the record straight with a seven-length romp over 2m4f at Cheltenham later that month and he is likely to have a lot more to give in this sphere, while Russian Ruler and Blow Your Wad also enter the equation as chasers on the upgrade. Top-weight GENERAL MEDRANO may have found one too good off a 1lb lower mark when bidding for a chase hat-trick over the extended 2m3f at Plumpton last month, but he remains on an upward curve and this extra furlong could unlock further improvement.

The form of GENERAL MEDRANO's latest Plumpton second was boosted by the winner and third at Newbury last week and Emma Lavelle's improving 6-y-o can take his chase record to 3-4. It turns out Blow Your Wad faced a near-impossible task attempting to concede 12 lb to subsequent Grade 1 winner Le Patron on his chase debut and he can build on that encouraging run and provide the chief threat ahead of Cheltenham-winner Idalko Bihoue.

All the runners have potential. Progressive hurdler RUSSIAN RULER can improve on his recent chase debut at Newbury and is preferred.

A Listed winner in France last month, IL EST FRANCAIS is 2-2 over fences and could be difficult to overhaul in his bid to complete the hat-trick. The gelding was notably a Grade 1 winner over hurdles at Auteuil last year and seems to have taken very well to larger obstacles. Hermes Allen comfortably landed a Grade 2 novices' chase at Newbury at the start of this month and has to be feared, while Giovinco has also shown stacks of promise and clearly rates as the the pick of the rest.

A cracking renewal. HERMES ALLEN ran to a really high level for a chase newcomer when taking a Newbury Grade 2 on his reappearance and will be a tough nut to crack if showing up in similar form. The way Giovinco travelled at Sandown last time suggests 3m around here could be ideal for him and he's second choice ahead of exciting French challenger Il Est Francais.

The 5yo French raider IL EST FRANCAIS is a Grade 1-winning hurdler who has looked a bit special in his two chases at Auteuil.

Six-time Grade 1-winning hurdler CONSTITUTION HILL makes his belated seasonal bow. The Blue Bresil gelding has yet to be asked any serious questions and he looks set to maintain his unbeaten record under Rules, with his rivals likely to be fighting it out for second place. The progressive Rubaud proved a ready winner of the Elite Hurdle at Wincanton last month and Paul Nicholls' inmate may provide the most resistance to the selection. The five-year-old has won four races on the bounce and he shouldn't be disgraced at this highest level, while First Street may fare best of the remainder.

This is all about the outstanding CONSTITUTION HILL, who will surely extend his unbeaten hurdle record to 8. Rubaud has listed and Grade 2 wins to his name over this C&D and is the one likely to follow him home.

Outstanding CONSTITUTION HILL continues to set a tall standard in this division. Improving Rubaud is an interesting challenger.

ALLAHO has won seven of his last eight and hasn't actually tasted defeat since April 2021, when outpaced by Chacun Pour Soi over 2m at Punchestown. Admittedly, the dual Ryanair hero spent a good chunk of time on the sidelines, but he looked to have lost little of his sparkle when returning with a comfortable victory in the Clonmel Oil Chase and 3m around Kempton looks absolutely ideal for him. Bravemansgame defends his crown, having accounted for Royale Pagaille by 14 lengths last season, but that form was reversed in the Betfair Chase and the suspicion lingers that Paul Nicholls' star is still feeling the effects of a gallant performance for second in the Gold Cup. Big question marks surround Shishkin after he showed the darker side to his nature on his intended Ascot comeback. The Real Whacker flopped in the Paddy Power Gold Cup, but this is more his cup of tea and he could prove a nuisance to the selection at the head of affairs.

If ALLAHO is still capable of the form he showed when demolishing a bunch of established Grade 1 chasers at Punchestown in April 2022 on his previous attempt at 3m he should come out on top. Last year's winner Bravemansgame can give him most to do, although Shishkin is also more than capable of having a big say if in the mood.

The big names have something to prove and it may well pay to take a chance on HEWICK (nap), who ran well in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.

Gentleman's Relish justified strong market support when landing a bumper at Newbury last month and Nicky Henderson's charge warrants respect on his hurdles debut. However, COURT IN THE ACT found only a subsequent winner too strong on his opening bid over timber at Hereford in November and the four-year-old shades the verdict with that experience under his belt. Onethreefivenotout ran with more encouragement when second at Wincanton recently and is unlikely to be far away either.

MOON CHIME was useful in bumpers and is taken to make a successful start to his hurdle career, most likely at the expense of Court In The Act. Nicky Henderson's Gentleman's Relish is another who has shown more than enough in bumpers to think he can make his presence felt in a race like this now hurdling.

Moon Chime was promising in bumpers but COURT IN THE ACT has already shown an aptitude for jumping and he's the one to beat.

WILL CARVER ran out a ready winner on his seasonal bow at Taunton in November. The gelded son of Califet won enough in hand that day to suggest that a 9lb rise in the ratings isn't insurmountable and he may be able to thwart the challenge of handicap debutant Emailandy. The five-year-old finished a respectable third in a competitive novice hurdle at Newbury earlier this month and he isn't taken lightly. Artistic Endeavour also makes some appeal, despite this rise in class.

EMAILANDY has the makings of a useful hurdler so he might be able to cope with an opening mark of 127. Artistic Endeavour has long left the impression he'll do better when stepped up in trip and is second choice ahead of Will Carver, whose yard is seeking a third win in this in the last 4 years.

He is not the only striking candidate but lightly raced 8yo WILL CARVER left a big impression with the ease of his Taunton win.
