Freedom And Wheat can record back-to-back all-weather wins

Credit: Edward Whitaker

Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Reeth (3.15 Kempton, nap)

Looks to be on an upward curve and is taken to supplement his recent course and distance win despite a 7lb rise.

Others to follow
Kempton: 2.10 Swiss Cross 2.45 Al Reeh 3.50 Unforgiving Minute 4.20 James Street 4.50 Lady Of York 5.20 Oakley Mimosa
Wolverhampton: 4.05 Farump 6.15 Tasaaboq 6.45 War and Glory 7.15 Colony Queen 7.45 Gilded Heaven

North: Richard Young

My Old Gold (1.45 Wetherby, nap)

This dual point winner showed steady improvement over hurdles last season and should be suited by the switch to fences. On a good mark, Brian Hughes takes over and fancied to go well for an in-form yard.

Others to follow
Kempton: 2.10 Mr Potter, 4.20 Charming Kid.
Wetherby: 12.45 Doctor Jazz, 2.55 Nortonthorpelegend, 3.30 Big Bad Bear.
Wolverhampton: 4.05 Foxy Boy, 4.35 Tor, 5.10 Wide Acclaim, 5.45 Count Montecristo, 6.15 Grey Destiny, 6.45 Cadeau D'Amour, 7.45 Sosian.

Lambourn: James Burn

Al Jellaby (3.50 Kempton, nap)

Four-year-old was winless last year, but may have taken time to fill his frame and dropping in trip should help. He has been gelded since his last start and has some solid form so a decent effort is forecast.

Others to follow
Kempton:
2.10 Distant Applause, 2.45 Katie Lee, 4.20 Sunsprite, 4.50 Apex Predator.
Lingfield: 12.30 Arkyn, 2.35 Lovenormoney, 3.05 Agincourt Reef.
Wetherby: 12.45 Lisheen Castle, 2.20 Clarendon Street, 3.30 Young Lieutenant.
Wolverhampton: 4.05 New Rich, 4.35 Para Mio, 7.15 Robert L'Echelle, 7.45 Proceed.

West Country: Andrew King

Samburu Shujaa (1.00 Lingfield, nap)

Has yet to score over hurdles but has shown enough in the past to suggest he can put that right here.

Others to follow
Lingfield: 2.35 This Is It 3.05 Bonza Girl 3.40 Big Time Frank
Wetherby: 1.15 Midnight Glory

Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Stanhope (5.00 Dundalk)

Successful over course and distance on his debut for Damian English early last month, the son of Equiano went on to finish second over an extra furlong at the same track a week later. He makes plenty of appeal and can return to winning ways with 7lb claimer Stephen Mooney on board.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Midnight Glory (1.15 Wetherby, nap)

Took advantage of a favourable handicap mark when bouncing back to form at Ludlow in November and shaped as if the step back up to today's trip would suit when a fair fourth at Huntingdon last month.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Freedom And Wheat (6.45 Wolverhampton)

Got his act together to record a resounding success at Lingfield a week ago and can make short work of his penalty.

Longshot: Ben Harris

Perfect Refuge (7.45 Wolverhampton)

A well beaten joint favourite last time out when trying 1m4f for the first time. Did not look to stay that trip and is well drawn to attack from the front now dropping in distance.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Neil Mulholland is 12-35 with his runners at Wetherby since the start of 2015 (34% strike-rate, +£12.32 to £1 stakes), including seven seconds. Very Extravagant runs in the mares' handicap hurdle at 1.15.
