Course winner to improve back over fences following hurdles run

Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Captain Navarre (1.45 Lingfield, nap)

Has struck a rich vein of form of late and the manner in which he won last time suggests that the 4lb rise might not be enough to halt his progress.

Others to follow
Lingfield: 11.40 Michigan, 12.10 Sea Tea Dea, 12.45 Captain Pugwash, 1.15 Ode To Autumn, 2.20 Elite Treaty, 2.55 Conflagration, 3.30 Whirl Me Around.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Crown Hill (1.55 Leicester, nap)

Course winner who shaped with plenty of encouragement over hurdles after a break. Remains on a competitive mark and, with that run under his belt, he is fancied to make his presence felt reverting to fences.

Others to follow
Leicester: 1.25 Victarion, 3.05 Silverhow.

Lambourn: James Burn

Haraz (12.45 Lingfield, nap)

This consistent gelding has yet to win, but may have dropped to a mark that will help him strike.

Others to follow
Leicester: 1.25 Criq Rock, 2.30 Harefield, 3.05 Cultivator.
Lingfield: 11.40 Ceyhan, 12.10 Sea Of Hope, 1.45 Island Brave, 2.20 Paradise Lake, 2.55 Isoletta, 3.30 Zipedeedodah.

North: Colin Russell

Paddling (1.05 Catterick, nap)

Lightly-raced six-year-old who has yet to win a race, but is on a good mark, hails from an in-form yard and with the step up in trip expected to suit can get off the mark this time.

Others to follow
Catterick: 12.30 Teescomponents, 1/35 Calypso Delegator, 2.05 Manwell, 2.40 Golden Investment, 3.15 American Life.
Leicester: 1.25 Leskinfere.
Lingfield: 12.45 Eddiebet, 1.15 Chingachgouk, 1.45 Royal Reserve, 2.55 Amadeus, 3.30 Hamish McGonagain.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

American Life (3.15 Catterick, nap)

Well-handicapped veteran who should strip fitter for his recent debut for his new yard and, with his preferred headgear back on, is weighted to turn the tables on Market Rasen conqueror Triopas.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Island Brave (1.45 Lingfield)

Has improved as he has stepped up in distance and Heather Main's recent acquisition can complete a hat-trick for the stable.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Chateau Conti (12.50 Leopardstown)

Has shaped as though he is worth a crack at 3m, and with ground to suit, cannot be overlooked off a mark of 141.

Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Voix Des Tiep (2.25 Leopardstown)

The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old, beaten half a length when favourite on his debut in a decent bumper over today’s course and trip in February, has strong claims here on his return from a long break.
