DOUBLE: Tewin Wood and Money Trix.
Tewin Wood has shown plenty of promise in his three starts to date and is one to follow as he switches to handicap company at Wolverhampton.
The gelding hardly shone on his debut, finishing out the back of a Newmarket maiden, but he improved for the run when claiming fourth at York next time up, with the winner having come out on top again since.
Tewin Wood was not disgraced when third behind a short-priced favourite at Yarmouth and an initial mark of 71 does not seem too harsh in the Bet Premier League Football - Betdaq Nursery.
One horse whose confidence is riding high is Alqaahir, who bids for a Wolverhampton treble in the Bet Asian Handicaps - Betdaq Handicap.
Trained in County Tyrone by Lee Smythe, the seven-year-old son of Swain has made his last two trips pay with a couple of wins over this nine-furlong distance.
His rider hardly had to get serious with Alqaahir as he defied an extra 5lb for his second victory last time, suggesting there is still a little to come from this half-brother to Intikhab.
Alqaahir should be able to shrug off this 4lb higher mark with the minimum of fuss.
Money Trix is evidently a fragile type and has not enjoyed much luck to date but he can get his season off to a good start at Carlisle.
The nine-year-old has raced just nine times due to injury problems but he looked a horse of real potential when notching up a hat-trick over hurdles before being placed at Grade One level in 2006.
However, he did not start again until January 2008, when he made a winning chasing bow but he was then sidelined again until December that year.
Nicky Richards sent him to Newbury only to see Money Trix crash out when still holding every chance four from home.
That heavy fall seemed to affect his confidence but a clear round at Kelso in February should have banished those demons.
Returning from a 254-day absence in the Weatherbys Bank Graduation Chase, Money Trix certainly has the ability to win and can start living up to his tall reputation.
War Footing is the choice in the the Bet After The Off At ladbrokes.com Handicap Chase at Southwell.
Trained by Henrietta Knight last season, the six-year-old seems to have benefited from a change of scenery at Brendan Powell's yard.
He just looked in need of the run when second at Worcester nearly three weeks ago, but War Footing looks the type to improve for the switch to fences.
