West Country: Tim Mitchell

Dieg Man (12.25 Catterick, nap)

Expensive purchase from France who made an impressive British and stable debut at Sedgefield in November. Fancied to follow up under a penalty before stepping up in grade.

Others to follow
Catterick 1.35 Impulsive Star.
Cheltenham 12.15 Ainchea, 12.50 Southfield Theatre, 2.00 Sametegal, 3.10 Old Guard, 3.45 Acey Milan.
Exeter 12.40 Friday Night Light, 1.15 Here’s Herbie, 1.50 Run To Milan, 2.25 You Say What, 3.00 Valhalla, 3.35 Dance Floor King, 4.05 Mrs Miggins.
Fakenham 12.45 Ascendant, 1.20 Money For Nothing, 2.30 Cornish Warrior, 3.40 Isis Blue.

Lambourn: James Burn

Kalahari Queen (2.10 Catterick, nap)

Won well in testing conditions at Lingfield four weeks ago so the ground should not be a problem and this looks a good spot to follow up that success.

Others to follow
Catterick 1.35 Three Ways.
Cheltenham 12.50 Vyta Du Roc, 1.25 Yanworth, 2.00 Theinval, 2.35 Lovenormoney, 3.10 Rayvin Black, 3.25 Skyline.
Southwell 12.05 Axe Cap, 2.55 Isstoora, 3.30 Swot.

Newmarket: David Milnes

Pearl Spectre (2.20 Southwell, nap)

Has good form to his name on Fibresand and is expected to make an impact on Monday following his close fifth to the useful Dubai One at Lingfield on Saturday.

Other to follow
Southwell 3.30 Limerick Lord

North: Colin Russell

Upsilon Bleu (1.40 Musselburgh, nap)

Useful chaser who has run two sound races this season. Does most of his racing at shorter, but has some good efforts over this trip to his credit and looks the one to beat.

Others to follow
Catterick 12.30 Blottos, 1.00 Nautical Twilight, 1.35 Just Minded, 2.10 Paper Roses, 2,45 Witness, 3.20 Boasien Debois.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Allee Bleue (3.35 Exeter, nap)

Hasn't pulled up any trees in two starts over fences so far, but is ideally suited by a right-handed track and testing ground and should be seen in a much better light off what could prove a lenient mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Pearl Spectre (2.20 Southwell)

Found six furlongs too sharp when fifth at Lingfield on Saturday, but the extra furlong may bring out the best in Phil McEntee's six-year-old.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Ami Desbois (1.25 Cheltenham)

Lightly raced eight-year-old has won both starts over fences and will relish underfoot conditions so cannot be ruled out.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Sutton Place (2.40 Fairyhouse)

Four from six over hurdles and a winner at Grade 2 and Grade 3 level, the Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old was a late withdrawal from a beginners chase at Leopardstown on Thursday due to the ground not being soft enough. He can make a winning debut over fences in today’s 2m5f event.


The Raceform Interactive nugget

Wholestone has a pretty impressive 12113 record at Cheltenham, never finishing outside a place position. He bids to add to that record in the Relkeel Hurdle (3.10).
