We have selections from around the tracks on Sunday, with the Nap coming on the Sunday Series card at Hamilton.
JEUDIDEE is related to winning chasers and can get off the mark on his first attempt in this sphere. He didn't threaten at Warwick last time but the race wasn't run to suit and it was his first start since October and may have been needed. A winner on top of the ground at Warwick and Worcester last summer before adding an impressive success at Exeter (on good to firm) to his haul, there should be plenty more to come and any quickening of conditions will be in his favour.

After two all-weather runs and one on heavy, it remains to be seen whether STAR JASMINE can prove as effective under quicker conditions but there was a lot to like about the manner of her victory at Bath, not least her winning time and impressive closing sectionals.
The form took a knock when the second ran no race at Ascot next time but that run was too bad to be true. That race was won by Warda Jamila whose stablemate, Haya, was third at Bath and has gone 2, 1 since and is rated 82, the same as Star Jasmine. There's no reason to believe that Star Jasmine won't prove as effective under these conditions and the expensive yearling purchase can prove herself to be on an attractive opening mark.
James Owen saddles Cannon Rock in the first and the 87 rated flat performer is an interesting recruit to hurdling and Owen may be able to bookend the card with winners courtesy of STAR LEGEND.
A C&D winner in November, she made a quick return to this track over a longer trip and was well beaten but that combination may have been more to blame than her revised mark. Given a break and fit from a spring spell on the level, a return to form is expected and it's no negative that her in-form trainer boasts a fine course record.
WAR CHANT did this column a favour when winning over C&D from stall 1 a year ago and can stage a repeat. The forecast ground is slightly slower and his mark significantly higher after two subsequent successes. The former is more of a concern than the latter given his close third on his seasonal reappearance as good enough to suggest he can win from his current perch but he's also run well enough on good to soft to suggest that conditions can't be used as an excuse.
