Horse Racing Tips: Bascule has a lot in his favour for Saturday Kempton double

• Two handicaps stand out at Kempton

• Bascule should have too much class at 2m

• Alan Dudman has 7/42.75 and 5/23.50 selections

Kempton - 18:45: Back Top Secret

A close call for the double yesterday with Grozni rather annoyingly failing to get up in time, and with the jumps' programme all but decimated, we'll have a look at the two best races on the Kempton card.

Top Secret is in fine nick at the moment and won a 0-90 last time over CD with plenty to spare, and in the process showing his liking for Kempton and the All-Weather.

He came up the inside at the cutaway last time and practically floated into contention in the sprint for home, and one of his closing sectionals was at 11.19 seconds.

A rise of 6lbs is warranted, but he remains of interest considering he ran so well in better company on the turf in May with a second to Bear Force One at Newbury, and that looked hot form considering Sonny Liston was in that race and was well beaten.

Top Secret loves Kempton and is a fairly straightforward ride as he sits handy and can quicken. The film of the same name is also marvellous with a very young Val Kilmer.

Kempton - 19:45: Back Bascule

Finding a bet on the low-key Kempton card on Saturday was far from easy, but Bascule should be in better shape after an eyecatching run last time following a seven month break.

He ran in a fairly strong 0-105 over 1m4f at Wolverhampton behind the progressive Vaguely Royal, and considering that would have been far too sharp of a test for Richard Hughes' runner, the return to 2m at Kempton is a huge plus.

The winner at Wolvers made the running and quickened up from the front, where as Bascule, who was holding an inside pitch, wasn't quite quick enough off a slow-ish pace.

He's down in class massively this evening and considering he ran in the Queen's Prize at the track last spring off 91, he's in a an easier race today and off a reduced figure too at his optimum trip.

I'd be disappointed if he couldn't win this, although the price was somewhat missed last night as the 11/43.75 was taken pretty sharply on the Sportsbook.

But away from some poor races for a Saturday, Bascule could have a bit of class off 87.
