Today’s tip comes from Exeter where WAY BACK THEN will be fancied to break her duck here. Alan King’s mare stepped up on a promising hurdling debut when runner-up over 2m at Towcester last month and that first run since May is entitled to have brought her on. The horse has yet to finish out of the frame in five starts under NH rules and today could be the day she scores.

Today’s tip comes from Kempton where Alan King gives a rare run to LAKE LEGEND in the 13:20. This 6 y-o doesn’t see a race course as often as his ability should dictate but King has obviously found an opening today which he knows he can exploit. The horse has had 5 races over hurdles and prevailed on 3 occasions, finishing second on another. He acts on all types of ground and has won at today’s distance. It is significant that King is wheeling him out today and despite the field being large, a big run is expected. Wayne Hutchinson takes the ride today and he has won on the horse twice before. All boxes ticked.

	Lake Legend	2 points E/W	Currently 12/1
	13:20 Kempton Jockey: W Hutchinson Trainer: A King	Course : Kempton Distance : 2m 5f Runners : 20

Today’s tip comes from Bangor where Alan King gives a hurdles debut to a horse who has certainly not disgraced in his 9 race flat career. DEVIL TO PAY has impressed his new yard since moving from John Dunlop’s stable and there’s a good feeling that he will get off to a winning start today. He won a tight race at Goodwood back in May and has placed twice since then. Connections have chosen this race as a ideal start for the 4 y-o and traditionally they have a good record at Bangor.

	Devil To Pay	2 point win, 1 point place	Currently 14/1
	12:40 Bangor Jockey: W Hutchinson Trainer: A King	Course : Bangor Distance : 2m 1f Runners : 9
