LIGHTS GO DOWN - 16:00 Ayr (NAP)

The Mick and David Easterby-trained LIGHTS GO DOWN looks decidedly well treated on handicap debut at Ayr. The four-year-old gets a chunky weight allowance in against the older horses here anyway and an opening mark of 107 over timber seems more than manageable based on his progressive form since sent jumping in November. He's been placed and run well on each occasion and, having stayed middle distances on the level, should have no issue stepping up from two miles to two and a half on Monday.

KOOL KID - 14:00 Plumpton

KOOL KID looked a little bit stretched by two miles and three furlongs at Fontwell last month but he might just have been a shade outclassed too and he should be more at home now dropping in both grade and distance. He was third off this mark (103) on handicap debut here in December and Joe Tizzard's bumper scorer looks up to winning races over hurdles on that evidence.

BOUJEE GOLD - 19:30 Wolverhampton

Not a strong race by any means but surely a decent opportunity for BOUJEE GOLD who missed a beat at the start at Southwell earlier in the month (seemingly kicked by a rival) but came home well to finish third at 28/1. The extra furlong and a half around here looks a positive if anything and the mare is clearly on the right side of the handicapper at present having scored off a 4lb higher mark at Brighton last April (also won twice at Wolverhampton in the past).
