Ace tipster

Goodbye Dancer (3.35 Cheltenham)

Won this race last year off a 1lb lower mark and fancied to get back to winning ways after a short break for a stable in form.
Graeme Rodway

Newmarket nap

Molly Mai (6.45 Southwell)

Shaped as if this stiffer test would suit when just getting up over this trip at Wolverhampton last time and should go close if handling the surface.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Commodore (2.25 Cheltenham)

Made a highly encouraging return at Haydock last month when finishing second with a yawning gap back to the third in a decent time. With improvement anticipated, deserved compensation could be on the cards.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Birkenhead (5.15 Southwell)

Posted a career best when winning over course and distance in October and is taken to make it 2-2 on Fibresand.

Dark horse

Potentially well handicapped having finished third in this race last year off a 2lb higher mark. All career wins to date have been in fields of seven runners or less.
