Ben Linfoot was among the winners on Boxing Day - now Ian Ogg has the best bets from around the tracks on Saturday.
Saturday selections
DOYEN DU BAR - 14:45 Wetherby (NAP)
Dan Skelton has won three of the last five renewals and is double handed but preference is for DOYEN DU BAR who shaped well on his seasonal reappearance and stable debut at Newbury. Progressive over fences last season, the nine-year-old's form has been franked time and again and his current mark is unlikely to be the ceiling of his ability while the forecast softer ground will also be in his favour.
KNIGHT TEMPLAR - 12:30 Chepstow
KNIGHT TEMPLAR may have found the run coming too soon when disappointing at Sandown when the testing ground may not have been in his favour either. Conditions will be riding quicker and his previous effort when a close third at Exeter suggested there are more races to be won with him in this sphere for all that the form of the race couldn't have worked out much worse at present. The booking of Sean Bowen can only be viewed as a positive.
DELLA CASA LUNGA - 13:20 Kempton
Last year's one-two are set to go to post and DELLA CASA LUNGA, racing from the same mark, is taken to come out on top again despite the presence of Miss Cynthia who is starting out for Skelton. The top-weight has only finished out of 'the three' once in five course runs (in the 2023 renewal) so is clearly well suited to the demands of this venue and looked to be on the way back to form here last time. She struggled after winning last year's renewal but kept on well in a Listed race over two miles five last month and will appreciate the step back up in trip.
FLOWSTATE - 16:00 Wolverhampton
The consistent FLOWSTATE was having his first start over seven furlongs when winning at Newcastle and can follow-up from his 3lb higher mark. Relatively unexposed on the all-weather after five starts, he's run well on both visits to this track and can open his account at this venue with his stamina now assured.
