Melangerie ready to make her mark over hurdles for Henderson

Lambourn: James Burn

Melangerie (3.50 Leicester, nap)

Fifth on her debut over hurdles at Worcester last month, but trainer Nicky Henderson reckons some of his string may have needed their runs then. The yard is in fine order now and she is a big player if stepping forward from that.

Others to follow

Leicester 2.20 Cultivator, 2.50 Glorvina.
Plumpton 1.10 Book Of Gold, 1.40 Keeper Hill, 2.40 Sandhurst Lad, 3.10 Saint Contest.
Wolverhampton 1.30 Mr Large, 3.30 Strategic Heights, 4.00 Don't Blame Me.

North: Colin Russell

Hamish McGonagain (3.30 Wolverhampton, nap)

Nottingham winner in August but just as effective on Polytrack. Good run over five furlongs last time at Newcastle and fancied to fare even better back over six.

Others to follow
Leicester1.50 Quids In, 2.50 Royal Icon, 3.20 Larkhall.

Wolverhampton 1.30 Progressive Jazz, 2.00 Picture No Sound, 2.30 Siege Of Boston, 3.00 Bond Bombshell, 4.00 Lady Cristal, 4.30 Gabrial's Star.

Newmarket: David Milnes

Rockley Point (4.00 Wolverhampton, nap)

Paul D’Arcy’s free-going sort made a pleasing return to form when narrowly denied by Searanger over course and distance last time. The three-year-old has bounced out of that and can go one better.

Others to follow

Wolverhampton 1.00 Ciaoadiosimdone, 1.30 Global Angel, 2.00 Central City, 2.30 Boost, 3.30 Arnarson, 4.30 Alternate Route

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Dalaman (2.10 Plumpton, nap)

Justified support on stable debut when a cosy winner returning from an absence. His 6lb higher mark might not be enough to stop him following up with improvement expected.

Others to follow

Leicester 12.50 Red Square Revival, 1.20 Old Harry Rocks, 1.50 Delface, 2.20 Tommy Silver, 2.50 Shee's Lucky.

Plumpton 1.10 Tikkanbar, 2.40 Chef D'Equipe, 3.10 Master Burbidge.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

High Expectations (1.50 Leicester)

Still in contention when parting company with his rider at the third- last hurdle at Cheltenham last month and remains well treated on the best of his form from this time last year.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Tommy Silver (2.20 Leicester)

Went down by a neck when favourite on his chasing debut at Worcester six days ago and Paul Nicholls' five-year-old should be given a chance to retrieve losses.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Howlongisafoot (3.10 Plumpton)

Out of sorts in recent events but has some decent form at the venue and should be competitive off his current mark.
