Free horse racing selections for Monday November 12
Canyon City is Keith Hamer's best bet at Kempton and he has a tip for every race in the UK and Ireland.
NAP: Canyon City 2.55 Kempton
Next best; Dolos 2.35 Carlisle
Canyon City can continue on an upward curve by completing a hat-trick in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle at Kempton.
The Neil King-trained five-year-old hit form with a vengeance last month, scoring twice in six days at Fakenham and Fontwell.
He has gone up a total of 14lb, but is clearly going the right way and is in tremendous shape, suggesting he can overcome this steep rise.
Heart Of Kernow can make amends for an untimely fall on his debut over fences at Hexham a month ago by putting the record straight in the Stelrad Radiator Novices' Handicap Chase.
Nigel Hawke's gelding was lying a close second and had every chance when coming down at the third-last fence in the race won by Sophie Olivia.
Providing that experience has not left its mark, Heart Of Kernow can add to his two victories over hurdles.
Dolos can take the honours in the Weatherbys Hamilton Graduation Chase at Carlisle for the bang-in-form Paul Nicholls.
He shaped well on his first run since April when second to Beggar's Wishes at Newton Abbot a month ago.
That should put the five-year-old spot on for the feature event in Cumbria.
Dolos would have learnt plenty from jumping fences last season, when he got off the mark at Ascot on his debut over the bigger obstacles, and was competing in such hot races as the Grand Annual at Cheltenham.
Keep The River looked good when opening her account over jumps at Ayr two weeks ago and is worth a flutter in the Smarkets Mares' Handicap Hurdle.
The Ian Jardine-trained four-year-old filly was value for her two-and-a-half-length margin of victory and there looks to be acres of improvement in her.
Archimedes looks the answer to the Betway Dash Handicap at Southwell.
David Griffiths' five-year-old has dropped to a mark 1lb lower than the last time he had his head in front.
Having run creditably on his last two starts on the turf, both at Brighton, Archimedes will relish going back to the all-weather surface at Southwell, where he has recorded four victories.
Hughie Morrison's admirable veteran Cousin Khee should be thereabouts in the Betway Stayers Handicap.
The 11-year-old has been a tremendous servant down the years, and might be ready to win again after a promising third at Newbury last time out.
Given he is without a win on turf in a fair while, that was not a bad effort and he most certainly goes well at this Nottinghamshire circuit.
Sands Chorus has shown little since finishing second in the Cambridgeshire in September 2017, but is lowered significantly in grade by trainer James Given, which can have the desired result in the mile-and-a-half Betway Handicap.
The Mick Appleby-trained Point Zero is the pick in the five-furlong novice stakes.
He tried both five furlongs and this Fibresand for the first time when last seen in August and did little wrong in finishing second. He could easily go one better, with Luke Morris a positive booking.
Top all-weather pilot Morris has other chances, too, in particular with the Paul George-trained Zapateado in the opening division of the mile handicap.
The three-year-old has been in good heart recently, and won under Morris at Chepstow in August.
