Harry Wilson provides his advice for all seven races live on ITV4 from Uttoxeter and Kempton on Saturday.


1.50 Uttoxeter
JenningsBet 200 Shops Nationwide Handicap Hurdle, 2m4f

Harry's tip: A Perfect Day

A Perfect Day hasn't had things go his way since winning at Lingfield in December, failing to get home over three miles on heavy ground (first and second have won and come runner-up since) before a bad mistake ended his chance last time. The drop in trip looks a good move and his prominent racing style should suit this track.

2.08 Kempton
Virgin Bet Novices' Limited Handicap Chase, 2m2f

Harry's tip: Pure Carbon

Pure Carbon looked to have a bit more in hand than the winning margin of half a length suggests at Musselburgh last time, when he took his form figures over fences at right-handed tracks to 1U1. He looks underestimated by a 3lb rise and will be suited by a contested pace, which appears likely.

2.25 Uttoxeter
JenningsBet Handicap Hurdle, 2m7½f

Harry's tip: A Pai De Nom

A Pai De Nom relished the return to softer ground when winning comfortably at Newbury last month, seeing out the trip well on his first go at three miles. He's unexposed at this distance and can make light of a 5lb rise.

2.40 Kempton
Virgin Bet A Good Bet Handicap Hurdle, 2m5f

Harry's tip: Marsiac

Marsiac was likely unsuited by the soft ground when only fourth on his handicap debut at Hereford last time, but he still ran with plenty of credit behind two subsequent winners. He looks well treated off just 1lb higher, given the form of his maidens/novices have also worked out well, and he returns with his stable going well.

3.00 Uttoxeter
JenningsBet Midlands Grand National, 4m2f

Harry's tip: Grand Albert

I thought marathon trips would be the making of Grand Albert, who is from the family of Grand National runner-up Suny Bay, and he ran a good race when a staying-on sixth in the Grand National Trial at Haydock last time. This extra distance, coupled with the soft ground, should see him in a good light.

3.18 Kempton
Virgin Bet Supports Safe Gambling Handicap Chase, 2m4½f

Harry's tip: Barlovento

Barlovento shaped well on his chasing debut behind a subsequent winner at Exeter and built on that when winning a course-and-distance handicap on Boxing Day, looking value for more than the winning margin suggests he idled in front. It's easy to forgive his last run on soft ground at Cheltenham and he can bounce back.

3.35 Uttoxeter
JenningsBet Novices' Handicap Chase, 3m

Harry's tip: Milcree

Milcree has taken his form to a new level since going chasing, following his comfortable win at Ayr (subsequent winner in third) with a gutsy victory in heavy ground at Kelso last month. This step up in trip is likely to bring about more improvement and his trainer Nicky Richards is in great form.
