Michael Dods: in-form trainer can strike at Nottingham with Grimeford Lane

Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Tenzing Norgay (3.15 Catterick, nap)

Looked to be nearing his peak when third to West Drive at Sandown last time and has experience of the track. Sir Mark Prescott's grey has since worked well on the Al Bahathri.

Others to follow
Catterick 2.15 Shrewd Approach.
Chelmsford 5.50 Joe's Spirit, 6.20 Aussie Wind, 6.50 La Rav, 7.20 Glittering Jewel, 7.50 Military Parade, 8.20 Zorba The Greek, 8.50 See You Mush.
Leicester 2.00 Iconic Sunset, 3.00 Mraseel, 4.00 Crushed, 4.30 North Creek.
Nottingham 5.05 Qianlong, 5.35 Tony Soprano, 6.05 Zeelander, 6.35 Curious Fox, 7.35 Jumira Prince, 8.05 Upended.

Lambourn: James Burn

Manson (6.50 Chelmsford, nap)

The draw hasn't been kind to this four-year-old, but he has a decent record on the all-weather and ran with credit at Sandown last time. A big field should mean he gets a strong pace to aim at.

Others to follow
Chelmsford 5.50 Sardenya, 6.20 Beringer.
Leicester 3.00 Queen Of Kalahari, 3.30 Move To The Front, 4.30 Traveller.
Nottingham 6.05 Mafaaheem.

North: Colin Russell

Jack Blane (5.15 Catterick, nap)

All-weather winner who shaped well on his stable debut last week when second at Ayr with cheekpieces on for the first time. He should come on for that and, with the headgear retained, is fancied to go one better.

Others to follow
Catterick 2.15 Amazing Rock, 2.45 Bond Bombshell, 3.15 Pumblechook, 3.45 Melaniemillie, 4.15 Mango Chutney, 4.45 Italian Riviera.
Chelmsford 5.50 Kit Marlowe, 6.20 Mail Order, 6.50 Kharbetation, 8.50 Firesnake.
Leicester 2.30 Semana Santa, 3.30 Northern Law, 4.00 Bolder Bob, 4.30 Bahamian Bird.
Nottingham 5.05 Book Of Dreams, 5.35 Grimeford Lane, 6.05 Relevant, 7.05 Sheepscar Lad, 7.35 White Tower, 8.05 Mr C.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Mukalal (6.50 Chelmsford, nap)

Failed to complete a hat-trick last time, but lost little in defeat when just touched off by Mutarabby over course and distance. He is fancied to exact his revenge off this revised mark.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Jack Blane (5.15 Catterick)

Finished nicely clear of the third when beaten a neck at Ayr on his stable debut last time. He gets in here off the same mark and should be bang there.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Grimeford Lane (5.35 Nottingham)

Ran well to finish runner-up at Ayr recently and, with his stable currently in good form, Michael Dods's youngster can go one better over this longer trip.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Soaring Spirits (2.30 Leicester)

Out of sorts last time, but has a good record at this venue and can't be ruled out back over 6f with ground to suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

She's So Flawless (7.40 Roscommon)

The Willie Mullins-trained filly can make it two wins from three starts when she makes her handicap debut in this 1m4f event. Although dropped two furlongs in trip after her maiden win at Killarney last month, the daughter of Fastnet Rock can score under Chris Hayes.
