We start this weekend's action at Kempton, and I think Chris Honour's Tile Tapper will be able to make amends for his 2 over this course and distance over Christmas. Although a 9yo now, Tile Tapper is still very lightly raced - and he's only had 5 career starts over fences. Following a useful Novice Hurdle campaign he was certainly a slow burner…

Bought from France where he was a Listed winner on very soft ground, L'Eau Du Sud looks to have been gaining some vital experience in his first couple of starts for Dan Skelton in Britain.
