15:00 Betfair Tingle Creek Chase (Grade 1)

Parade ring updates

To follow

14:25 Bet At Your Best With Betfair Handicap Hurdle

Full result

1. GO DANTE 11/2
2. Knickerbockerglory 5/2
3. Afadil 7/1

Verdict

Glynn Brae and Knickerbockerglory best pair.

Parade ring updates

7 Go Dante - red hood, can’t fault on fitness, good rib definition.

2 Knickerbockerglory - not unfit, but probably has a little to find still, maybe 80-90%.

9 Afadil - very on toes which is normal paddock presentation, in good order.

8 Honky Tonk Highway - a little tight and tense through neck, fit.

6 L'Astroboy - will come on for the run, for all he’s well presented.

5 Glynn Brae - another horse who has always appealed from a paddock perspective, looks very well.

4 Metier - looks well on return to hurdles, good looking individual and has always presented well.

3 Goshen - not the force of old, physically. Wouldn’t stand out from a fitness perspective.

13:50 Betfair Henry VIII Novices' Chase (Grade 1)

Full result

1. LULAMBA 2/5 favourite

Winning reaction

Nico de Boinville: "We've had to learn on the job as it were [due to omitted fences on debut]. They've gone a really good, solid, even gallop in that ground. I thought he's really come alive with me down the back, he's really taken to it and started winging them and taking me there before I really wanted to get going.

"I've gone from being pushed around by other horses to then being able to push them around, if you know what I mean, and that just shows what he's got under the bonnet. I don't know [where his limits lie] but we'll just take him along nice and steady and keep progressing, plenty more to come. I'm not going to say yes or no [to the Arkle question]. I think we just concentrate on the next one and the man [Henderson] to speak to is over there, he's having his sixth winner or something in it."

Verdict

Lulamba gets the edge, more by default than outstanding choice - quality individual in the field.

Parade ring updates

2 Be Aware - late to paddock and didn’t complete a lap, fit and well.

1 Alnilam - looks a little heavy, not the fittest of these.

3 Lump Sum - red hood and a little keen, not standing out in the coat, fit.

4 Lulamba - lovely physical, some size with a fairly light frame, you’d have to say he presents like a hurdler rather than an obvious chaser but quality is evident.

13:20 Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle

Full result

1. KIKIJO 9/4 joint-favourite
2. Turndlightsdownlow 9/4 joint-favourite

Winning reaction

Callum Pritchard: "He's fantastic isn't he? Even though he won at Cheltenham and went up a couple of pounds to see him dig deep like that again today with a bit of extra weight is fantastic. I did [feel I had things under control]. Turning in for the home straight I could hear him there but I was just wanting to sit and hold for as long as I could because I've been beat on plenty up that run-in where you go too soon and they end up catching you off the back of the last and I didn't want that happening today; luckily I had a willing partner.

"His jumping is very good but sometimes, early doors, you're over the hurdle as quick as you know you were there. Considering he'd been chasing as well, sometimes they can go a bit up in the air after they've come back hurdling but he's very clever in what he does now. He's got a brilliant attitude, the governor's horses are in fantastic order so, hopefully, we'll have every chance [in the Final in march]."

Verdict

Turndlightsdownlow best.

Parade ring updates

1 Supremely West (see below also) - has become very warm.

7 Ikarak - red hood, in fair order, tends to present heavy.

5 Hititi - striding out well, looks in good order, alert.

8 Lavender Hill Mob - typical Flat type from the yard, well muscled over hind, fine.

10 Turndlightsdownlow - nice, active mover, fit.

1 Supremely West - big, heavy set horse; always presents unfit but it’s him. Okay.

6 Kikijo - hasn’t come forward notably from Cheltenham, arguably a touch less appealing. Fine.

3 Green Book - missing left eye. Not entirely unfit, but will come forward for 996-day break.

12:43 Betfair Supports Racing With Pride Mares' Handicap Hurdle

Full result

1. SUNSET MARQUESA 11/8 favourite
2. Shantwopointfive 16/1

Winning reaction

Brendan Powell: "Joe was very confident beforehand, I was quietly confident and thought she'd take all the beating but I didn't think she'd quite win in the way she did. Her jumping was fine and she quickened up between the last two. I think the wind op[eration] has been a massive help as well. It was a nice run at Exeter last time, she improved for the run loads - we thought that she would - and I think it's done her confidence good to know that she can breathe properly again.

"I'm quite enjoying Saturdays at the moment! Joe's horses are flying and it's going really well. Long may it last."

Verdict

Sunset Marquesa best.

Parade ring updates

10 Northern Symphonie - big, heavy set mare, okay for frame.

5 Dramatic Encore - on toes through chute, okay but doesn’t jump out on fitness.

1 Shantwopointfive - very defined over quarters, no fitness issues.

4 Ring O Roses - notable level of fitness after a long break, wears red hood, very well managed.

3 Sunset Marquesa - always liked this mare from a physical perspective, big chasing type with an easy demeanour, fine.

6 Looking As You Are - small and close coupled, very fit.

8 Crazierthandaisy - big, strong, physical of a mare. Has improved since winning at Warwick.

12:10 Betfair Exchange Claremont Novices' Hurdle

Full result

1. HURRICANE PAT 7/2
2. Soldier Reeves 10/1

Winning reaction

Caoilin Quinn: "We weren't sure that he'd handle the ground that well so that's a huge question answered; he's probably even better on that ground. He's done everything so easy through the race, he's quickened up well and he's probably very smart. I originally thought after the last day on softer ground he'd be fine at two but he'd probably stay further as well so he's very versatile. Hopefully we'll have plenty of fun with him. He probably could go to the big league now and throw his hat into the ring, he's proved himself now."

Verdict

Sober Glory best.

Parade ring updates

2 Soldier Reeves (see below also) - has got warm between the back legs.

3 Hurricane Pat - physically the least impressive of the five. Front boots. A little tense with two handlers. Fit.

1 Fresh Perspective - red hood. More of a chasing type than some of these. Very fit, high level of rib definition.

4 Shabalko d'Herm - red hood. A little tense. Tall, plenty of frame. Fit.

2 Soldier Reeves - tall and angular, very athletic. Little keen to start but settling well - did the same at Cheltenham.

5 Sober Glory - 'negatived' when seeing at Chepstow, needed the run and won anyway. Improved considerably since. Lovely free moving individual.
