Milton Harris trained Knight Salute (1.50) is tipped to win the Grade 2 Coral Adonis Juvenile Hurdle over 2 miles at Kempton Park on Saturday, ahead of a tilt at the Cheltenham Triumph Hurdle in March.
Four-year-old Knight Salute, ridden by Paddy Brennan, returns to action following a victory at Doncaster in December.
Racing gets underway with the Coral Handicap C3 Chase over 2m 4f, with Deyrann De Carjac (1.15) tipped to win, with Tom Cannon up.
Alan King trained nine-year-old Deyrann De Carjac ran fifth of 16 at Cheltenham in January and finished fifth of 13 at Cheltenham in December, over 2m 4f, having won C3 races at Huntingdon and Cartmel in 2019.
Pic D’Orhy (2.25) with Harry Cobden up, is tipped to land the £150,000 Coral Pendil G2 Novices Chase over 2m 4f.

Gary Moore trained Shallwehaveonemore (3.00) is tipped to win the Grade 2 Sky Bet Dovecote Novices’ Hurdle over 2m.
Iceo, an impressive course-and-distance winner in December, is noted.
“I’ve always liked him – I hope we haven’t seen the true horse yet and he’ll get a proper test on Saturday,” said Moore.
Shallwehaveonemore won the C3 at Sandown this month, by an emphatic 20 lengths under Joshua Moore.
“We’re hopeful he’ll pass the test, I would be confident and we’ll get a true reading of where we go after that,” added Moore.
