Ben Linfoot has the best bets for Thursday with the Nap running at Beverley.
Ed Dunlop looks to have found a weak enough race for Spring Mile third ARTHUR’S REALM in the Melanie Stocks 60th Birthday Handicap at Beverley on Thursday.
The son of Camelot ran a fine race at Doncaster and was probably turned out too quickly at Lingfield after that.
He's had three weeks off since his last run and with cheekpieces reapplied on ground he likes he should have too much class for this small field.
Lucy Wadham’s SAMOURAI ONE is worth another go in the Zircom Data Communications 30th Anniversary Novices’ Handicap Chase at Warwick.
Sent off the 15/8 favourite at Southwell last time, the trainer reported the tacky ground was against the seven-year-old who had previously looked a horse to follow when bolting up at Market Rasen.
This is just his third chase start and his fencing debut could be worth remembering in this company.
Olly Murphy looks to have found SECRET TRIX a good opportunity to extend his winning run in the AK Bets Best Price Premier League Handicap Hurdle at Perth.
The seven-year-old looks all stamina and stepping up to 3m2f and a bit over a hurdles looks likely to squeeze more improvement out of him after he went up 7lb for winning at Haydock last time.
The tongue-tie seemed to help him reach a new level of form there and he could be in for a productive spring and summer in this type of race.
COPERNIC DU MAZET looks in a good spot to win division two of the Follow Racing TV On Twitter Handicap Hurdle at Huntingdon.
Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero’s horse travelled well into his handicap debut at this track last time and just ran into a front-runner who didn’t come back on the day in Ballynaheer.

Lucinda Russell gave READYSTEADYBEAU a few months off in the deep midwinter and that could result in more Perth success in the AK Bets Home Of Free Bets Handicap Chase.

BRIONI looks to be progressing nicely for Alan King and he can follow up his Kempton win in the Nordoff & Robbins Judy Martin Memorial Handicap at Sandown. The son of Cloth Of Stars looks a likely improver on this first go at 10 furlongs after a straightforward success over a mile last time out.
BRINGBACKMEMORIES is in great nick and looks to have been found another good opportunity in the Download The Racing App Now Apprentice Handicap at Newcastle. Iain Jardine’s five-year-old won readily over the course and distance last time out and a 4lb rise might not stop him following up.
Paul Nicholls runs five on Chepstow’s evening card including MATTERHORN in the Sun Trade Windows Handicap Hurdle. He’s won first start back off his previous two wind operations and he’s been found a nice opportunity to land a pretty unique hat-trick in this.
