Improving chaser Ballasalla set to get off the mark in the sphere

Newmarket: David Milnes

Bernie's Boy (2.20 Lingfield, nap)

Fancied to give Grace McEntee her first career winner after his encouraging third over 5f here before Christmas. Phil McEntee's speedster is well drawn and could provide a late burst up the straight.Others to follow
Lingfield 12.05 Global Goddess, 12.40 Woods, 2.55 Daring Guest, 3.30 Swiss Cross.

North: Richard Young

Ballasalla (2.05 Catterick, nap)

Bred to be a chaser and stepped up a fair way on hurdle form when close second on first run over fences at Carlisle last time. Can run from the same mark here and will be hard to beat in this company.Others to follow
Catterick 12.25 Graceland, 1.00 Budarri, 1.35 Whiteoak Stroller, 2.40 Nortonthorpelegend, 3.15 Tickenwolf.
Leicester 1.25 Rafferty.
Lingfield 12.05 Robeam, 12.40 Ivory Charm, 2.20 Laubali, 3.30 Odds On Oli.

Lambourn: James Burn

New Rich (3.30 Lingfield, nap)

This gelding has a fine all-weather record and looks to have dropped to an attractive mark. Others to follow
Catterick 1.35 Speedy Cargo.
Leicester 12.50 Lomachenko.
Lingfield 11.35 Don't Cry About It, 1.45 Skydiving.

West Country: Andrew King

Percy Street (3.05 Leicester, nap)

Showed enough at Taunton last time to merit respect in this line-up and will not mind the conditions.Others to follow
Catterick 1.00 Chasing Headlights.
Leicester 12.50 Captains Run, 2.30 Amour Du Nuit.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Boruma(3.15 Catterick, nap)

Very well treated on the pick of last season's form and showed enough when placed over course and distance earlier this month to suggest he is capable of scoring off his reduced handicap mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Wotadoll(2.20 Lingfield)

Foiled on her hat-trick attempt at Chelmsford eight days ago but acquitted herself well to finish fourth and can return to winning ways.

Longshot: Vishal Junglee

Porto Ferro (2.20 Lingfield)

Course-and-distance winner, takes a significant drop in class and is back down to preferred trip after trying 7f last time. Will be dangerous if allowed to lead from stall one.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Assemble (3.50 Limerick)

In the frame on his two previous starts, most recently when fourth behind the smart Envoi Allen at Fairyhouse earlier this month on his first start for Joseph O'Brien, the son of Getaway can prove the pick in the Limerick finale.

Sue Smith and Danny Cook have a 50 per cent strike-rate when teaming up in chases at Catterick (12 winners from 24 runners, for a £1 level-stakes profit of £36.55). Iskabeg Lane (2.40) looks the pick of his two rides for the trainer.
