There is a seven-race jumps card at Kempton on Friday, which runs from 1.10pm to 4.37pm, and is set to take place on ground described as 'Good-good to soft in places'. 

And we have picked five horses for you to follow. 

1.10pm - Join Racing TV Now Conditional Jockeys' Mares' Handicap Hurdle (2m)

Henry Daly's mare LIME DROP is bidding to compete a five-timer here and, despite rising 28lb from a mark of 81 when the winning sequence started at Worcester in November, she might just pull it off. 

Track and trip look spot on again for her and while she was all out to hold off Ravenscar last month at Sedgefield, the pair were clear and the runner-up defied a 4lb rise of her own to win in a higher grade since at Newcastle. 

This latest mark of 108 might not stop Lime Drop continuing her winning spree.

1.45pm - Every Race Live On Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase (3m)

Lightly-raced as a hurdler, BANGERS AND CASH was thrice placed in that sphere but remained winless. 

He put that to rights at Taunton (2m7f) in December on his chasing bow for Ben Pauling with 5lb claimer Luca Morgan on board and can double his tally here. 

He got to the front three out that day and was served with a challenge coming to the final obstacle where a really positive jump helped put things to bed. 

Nicky Henderson's Valsheda was making a decent fist of things at Newbury in December until he fell and he joins Killer Kane and Certainly Red amongst the dangers.

2.55pm - Bet At racingtv.com Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (2m2f)

Paddy's Motorbike made a smooth transition to chasing when scoring at Fakenham in the autumn and will be fine upped in trip but that form is not the strongest and he is facing a tough challenge here. 

ELIXIR DE NUTZ was a Grade 1-winning novice hurdler in 2019 for Colin Tizzard and he opened his account at Plumpton (2m3½f) last month on his fourth chase start. 

Colin Tizzard's Elixir Du Nutz will aim to build on a recent win at Plumpton

He led all the way and appeared to have two solid rivals in trouble turning in, only to tire himself and scramble home in the end. 

On that evidence this drop in trip on a flat track such as Kempton should be ideal for him.

3.30pm - Visit racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle (2m5f)

EQUUS MILLAR was a promising novice over fences for Nigel Twiston-Davies a couple of seasons ago but has lost his way. 

His first three starts for Sarah Jayne-Davies were not exactly inspiring but he shaped better at Huntingdon recently over hurdles. 

If he is able to build on that back over fences this career-low rating surely offers him a chance to notch a win soon and he could provide the admirable Will Kennedy with his second welcome winner of this week.

4.05pm - Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap Chase (3m)

SMARTY WILD is a course winner in the past over 2m4½f and has run well in all three chasing starts at this venue. 

He is now clearly approaching a mark from which he can go in again after last month's C&D (soft) second from only 1lb lower behind Caribean Boy. 

That was a second good effort from Philip Hobbs' charge since being stepped up to this three-mile trip and he can surely bag a prize soon at the increased distance.
