Lagostovegas can get her head in front with conditions to suit

Lambourn: James Burn

Alph (5.10 Ludlow, nap)

Champion trainer Nicky Henderson, who continues in fine form and does well at this venue, takes the wraps off this four-year-old, who is fancied to go well for Altior's owners Patricia and Christopher Pugh.

Others to follow
Ludlow: 2.30 Baden, 4.10 Instant Karma, 4.40 Colonial Dreams.
Plumpton: 2.10 Crushed, 3.15 The Fresh Prince, 4.25 Brave Eagle, 5.25 Invisible Clouds.

West Country: Andrew King

Represented (5.25 Plumpton, nap)

Came good on debut at Taunton last November and fancied to overcome a penalty with James Bowen's claim taking off a valuable few pounds.

Others to follow
Ludlow: 2.00 Kings Inn, 2.30 Silent Steps, 3.05 Chantecler, 3.35 Marracudja, 4.10 Peruvien Bleu, 4.40 Cereal Killer.
Southwell: 3.00 Voix D'Eau, 3.30 Timeforben.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Brother Bennett (3.50 Plumpton, nap)

Beat a subsequent winner over fences at the course last time and this one-time 110+ rated hurdler could prove well treated off 83 on his switch back to the smaller obstacles.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

U S Navy Flag (2.35 Longchamp)

Bagged the Middle Park and earned the best juvenile Topspeed figure of the whole year when following up in the Dewhurst. Floundered on testing surface on his reappearance but will be suited by better ground.

Longshot: Neil McCabe

Wind Chimes (3.15 Longchamp)

Looked a potential star last autumn when winning twice at Chantilly, ran poorly on seasonal debut but likely she needed the run and could bounce back here on quicker ground.

Ireland: Brian Sheerin

Lagostovegas (2.20 Killarney)

A previous winner over the C&D, she has performed well in big handicap hurdles recently and can return to the winner's enclosure with the conditions of this race to suit.

Mawaany has form figures of 211 following following at least 128 days off the track, so returning from a 197 day absence in the 4.45 at Leopardstown shouldn't be a problem to him.
