13:50 Cheltenham - Mucking Brilliant Paddy Power Handicap Chase - 1m 7f 199y
There was plenty to like in BEAT THE JUDGE's performance last time out over course and distance and with a better passage around he can be very competitive. He's taken well to fences so he's selected to score over Magic Saint, who is tough, and was a winner of a strong looking handicap last season.
14:15 Southwell - Sky Sports Racing HD Virgin 535 Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race) - 1m 7f 182y
A lot will depend on how Nicky Henderson's HOOPER runs. He made light work of his rivals at Stratford and ran a good race when tackling obstacles for the first time at Market Rasen. Wargrave wasn't disgraced on debut and Found On will make sure this isn't a one-horse race.
14:25 Cheltenham - SSS Super Alloys Supports Racing Welfare Novices' Chase (GBB Race) - 2m 4f 44y
PROTEKTORAT was a very impressive winner on his seasonal reappearance at Carlisle at the back end of last month throwing some exuberant jumping into the bargain. He gets weight, despite being rated higher than Southfield Stone and that could just swing it in the selection's favour.
14:33 Newcastle - Download The QuinnBet App Mares' Handicap Chase - 2m 7f 91y
LIFFEYDALE DREAMER looks to be back on a more realistic mark and can take advantage over Kelso victor Chanting Hill who now has to shoulder an extra 6lb. Sam England's charge will need to improve on his effort last time out but that's not an unreasonable claim.
14:50 Southwell - Dave Bradbury Happy 60th Birthday Handicap Hurdle (Div 1) - 2m 4f 88y
Relatively low grade stuff in Nottinghamshire with plenty of these taken on trust. AT FIRST GLANCE is lightly raced and can follow-up a credible fourth place last time out. She has age on her side and can get the better of Barry's Jack who ran a fine race less than a month ago.
15:00 Cheltenham - Glenfarclas Cross Country Handicap Chase (GBB Race) - 3m 6f 37y
Although this appears to revolve around the top two in the market, on the evidence of last season, EASYLAND has the beating of Tiger Roll here in March. He's the selection here on that basis, but if both fail to fire and Potters Corner returns to the form of his Welsh Grand National win, he could be the underrated one in the field.
DOES HE KNOW is comfortably ahead on official ratings and is a confident selection to prove the handicapper is correct. Kim Bailey's yard is in excellent form and his charge is a course and distance winner meaning he'll cope with hill.
