Today’s tip comes from Cheltenham again where Nigel Twiston-Davies has talked up the chances of KHYBER KIM in the 14:20. Renowned as a very tricky horse, it’s difficult to know what to expect on the first run of the season but his trainer sounds very confident.

“If I told this horse that hard work never killed anyone he’d reply ‘but why take the chance?’”

“He keeps plenty for himself, but he comes into this race as fit as he has ever been. First time out every season is when he’s most likely to show his true worth and I’m expecting a big run.”

Having moved from Nicky Henderson to Twiston-Davies in the summer of 2008, Khyber Kim ran his best race first time out for the yard at Newbury last November, finishing a close second to Helens Vision in the Gerry Feilden Hurdle. The comments from his trainer are too ominous to be ignored and this horse can be got for an extremely attractive price.
