Course-and-distance winner ready to bounce back

West Country Andrew King

Bold Henry (4.15 Chepstow, nap)

Weighted to reverse recent form with Grey Gold and expected to go close in a race that should be run to suit.
Others to follow
Kempton 1.15 Rainy City, 1.50 Flying Tiger, 2.25 Frodon, 3.00 Capitaine, 3.35 Fingerontheswitch.
Chepstow 2.30 Rock The Kasbah, 3.40 Red Hanrahan, 4.50 Ma'ire Rua, 5.20 Motueka.

Lambourn James Burn

(3.35 Kempton, nap)

An impressive course winner last season. Has to put some heavy defeats behind him, but should get the good ground he adores and has dropped to an attractive mark.
Others to follow
Chepstow 1.55 Rock My Style, 2.30 Missed Approach, 3.40 Surtee Du Berlais.
Kempton 1.15 Alibi De Sivola, 1.50 Charli Parcs, 2.25 Gold Present, 3.00 River Wylde, 4.10 Full Shift, 4.45 Champ.
Lingfield 2.05 Verne Castle, 2.40 Chevalier, 3.15 Battalion.
Newcastle 2.10 Vinciaettis, 2.45 Out Sam, 3.55 The Nipper, 5.05 Oscar Mor.
Wolverhampton 7.15 Blitz, 7.45 Cyrus Dallin, 8.45 Wink Oliver.

North Colin Russell

Invincible Ridge (5.45 Wolverhampton, nap)

Ran his best race of the winter when runner-up in a handicap here on Thursday and fancied to go one better now dropped into selling company.
Others to follow
Lingfield 2.05 Bowson Fred, 2.40 Constantino, 3.15 Mythical Madness, 3.50 Rag Tatter, 4.25 Masterpaver.
Newcastle 1.35 Testify, 2.10 Teo Vivo, 2.45 Smooth Stepper, 3.20 The Dutchman, 4.30 Special Wells, 5.05 McGowan’s Pass.
Wolverhampton 6.45 Specialist, 7.15 Wild Approach, 7.45 Spinwheel, 8.15 Sir Lancelott, 8.45 Coquine.

Newmarket David Milnes

Oud Metha Bridge (1.30 Lingfield, nap)

Ed Dunlop has his all-weather team in good form. This three-year-old is fit from work on Waterhall and could be too streetwise for the newcomers.
Others to follow
Lingfield 2.05 Pretend, 2.40 Intrude, 3.15 Mutakayyef, 3.50 Ivor’s Fantasy, 4.25 Lord Napier, 5.00 Mercy Me.
Wolverhampton 6.45 Fulham, 7.15 Wild Approach, 7.45 Shamrokh, 8.15 Rivers Of Asia, 8.45 Captain Bob.

Racing Post Ratings Steve Mason

Mountainous (2.45 Newcastle, nap)

Mud-loving veteran who ran his best race of the campaign at Hereford last time. Back to a similar mark as when landing a second Welsh National last season.
Topspeed Dave Edwards

Pinzolo (3.15 Lingfield)

Three from five at the track, albeit over further, and has a bit to find with some of these on official figures. However, Ismail Mohammed’s front-running six-year-old may rise to the challenge.
Longshot Ed Quigley

Annacotty (3.35 Kempton)

Has to shoulder top weight, but cannot be ruled out given his record over fences at this venue.
Ireland Tony O’Hehir

Landofhopeandglory (1.45 Fairyhouse)

This course-and-distance winner performed well on his most recent start when runner-up in a Grade 2 event at Leopardstown in December. He has to concede weight to his rivals, but sets the standard and should be up to the task.
