David Ord's Saturday Nap won and now Ian Ogg has the best Sunday bets.
Sunday selections
FIVEONEFIVE - 15:37 Cartmel (NAP)
Whether it's a predilection for sticky toffee pudding or the joy of a trip across the Irish Sea I wouldn't know but FIVEONEFIVE comes alive at Cartmel and has won the last three renewals of this race from 129, 128 and 124. He returns seeking a remarkable four-timer off 127 so is perfectly well handicapped and his regular cheekpieces - absent since Cheltenham in November - are also putting in an appearance and another bold is on the cards for this course specialist.
STATE ACTOR - 14:45 Curragh
The lack of a run since early November is an obvious concern but STATE ACTOR has finished fourth and third in the last two renewals of this Premier Handicap and the booking of Colin Keane - on board for two good runs in 2024 - takes the eye. He struggled to release himself from the handicapper's unrelenting grip in 2025 but has slipped to 91, a mark from which he was only beaten a head over C&D in August 2024 under Keane.
OAKLEY - 16:03 Uttoxeter
I'm a little puzzled to see OAKLEY's Tuesday entry over two miles given he's been staying on well over trips at around two and a half miles; he won one of those, making it two wins over Hereford's extended two miles three. This near three mile trip is new territory but ground that looks worth exploring as connections look to eke out a few pounds of improvement that Oakley needs to get the better of the useful but enigmatic Crebilly whose recent win was his first for two years.
SUNLIT SEA - 16:23 Wolverhampton
She's still a maiden but proved competitive in all-weather handicaps last season - closely matched with the intriguingly named Barry The Worm - and perhaps changing out a visor for cheekpieces will help SUNLIT SEA gain that all-important success for her paddock value. She didn't show a great deal at Carlisle a couple of weeks ago - her turf debut - but was entitled to need that first start since December and her yard is gradually going through the gears.
