Key races and best bets
BRIDIE'S BEAU - 14:25 Navan
Plenty are in with a shout but BRIDIE'S BEAU took a big step forward when opening his chasing account at Clonmel last time and can defy a 9 lb hike in the weights. Whateys Quest is also weighted to have a big say and heads the list of dangers with Binge Worthy, John The Diva, Cheerful Chap and Battle of Mirbat all in the picture too.
ZAMEK - 13:30 Southwell
A well-backed runner-up on hurdle/stable debut last month, ZAMEK has solid claims to go one better. Fairly useful Flat performer Minstrel Knight shaped encouragingly prior to falling on hurdles bow and rates a danger, along with bumper winner Liam Mera Kai who looks far from the finished article over hurdles. Shade of Winter would be interesting if recapturing the form shown in maiden/novice hurdles at Chepstow last season.
HAY MEADOW - 13:40 Carlisle
A trappy 6-runner Pertemps Qualifier that is likely to be run in testing conditions. HAY MEADOW will handle the ground and is completely unexposed as a stayer following an emphatic win at Hexham last time. There's surely more to come from Roaring Conquest having defeated a more-seasoned campaigner on handicap debut at Windsor, while Letos was much improved when winning a 2½m listed handicap on heavy ground at Naas and is one to note in the betting upped markedly in trip.
