Banker holiday: our experts with their best bets on Easter Sunday

North: Richard Young

Nelson Road (4.10 Southwell, nap)

Recent hurdle winner who is on a very good mark for all-weather debut back on the Flat. Capable of better for in-form yard and fancied to give a good account.

Others to follow
Market Rasen 2.00 Ormesher, 3.00 Melody of Scotland, 3.30 Dallas Cowboy.
Southwell 2.05 La Cumparsita, 2.35 Constitutional, 3.05 Mr Buttons, 3.35 Chance Of Glory, 4.45 Simon’s Smile, 5.15 Socialites Red.

Lambourn: James Burn

Regulation (3.00 Market Rasen, nap)

The quicker the ground the better for this ten-year-old, who has a respectable strike-rate and is worth considering given trainer Neil King's purple patch this season.

Others to follow
Ffos Las 2.45 Capone, 3.45 Zen Master.
Market Rasen 4.05 Midnight Chill, 5.10 Akarita Lights.
Plumpton 3.25 Brandon Castle, 4.30 Prabeni.
Southwell 2.35 Littledidyouknow, 3.05 Captain Lars.

West Country: Andrew King

Champagne Champ (3.45 Ffos Las, nap)

Shade unfortunate to be picked up at Wincanton a week ago and can make amends at a course where he won on the Flat.

Others to follow
Ffos Las 3.15 Jeu De Mots, 4.20 Samuel Jackson.
Plumpton 3.25 Legal History, 3.55 Magic River, 5.05 Cintex.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Cougar Kid (3.00 Market Rasen, nap)

Shade unfortunate to be picked up at Wincanton a week ago and can make amends at a course where he won on the Flat.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Equus Amadeus (3.25 Plumpton)

Finished a creditable third at Ayr eight days ago and a similar performance could see the six-year-old collect for the third time this season.

Longshot: Ben Harris

Tellovoi (2.05 Southwell)

The veteran has been running credibly in defeat and has continued to fall down the weights. He could give a bold show from the front if afforded an easy lead.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Honeysuckle (2.50 Fairyhouse)

The Henry de Bromhead-trained five-year-old is unbeaten under rules and has won three races over hurdles with considerable ease. She has already scored over course and distance and can maintain her sequence with Rachael Blackmore again on board.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Captain Lars has figures of 11211113 when running in all-weather claimers and the nine-year-old contests that type of race in the 3.05 at Southwell.
