West Country nap

Marley Firth (3.30 Taunton)

Not easy to win with but this looks a good opportunity put the matter right.
Andrew King

Newmarket nap

Clem A (6.10 Wolverhampton)

Joseph Parr went close with his first runner as a trainer at Chelmsford on Saturday and is fancied to strike with his second, who likes this course.
David Milnes

Spotlight nap

Dragon Sun (5.40 Wolverhampton)

Lightly raced and made a good start to his handicap career last spring, winning twice. A solid second at Chelmsford when last seen in June and open to further progress this year.
Steven Boow

Eyecatcher

Amaretto (1.55 Kempton)

Ran well at Lingfield last time on his first start for five months. Took it up going well towards the end of the back straight and seemed to have matters in hand before tying up late. He should step forward here.

Ace tipster

John Constable (4.30 Stratford)

Wants better ground, but has become extremely well treated and will make a mockery of his mark soon.
Paul Kealy

Speed figures

Lots Of Luck (3.30 Taunton)

A beaten favourite last time but has previously scored here and losses can be recouped.
Dave Edwards

Dark horse

Faro De Kerser (4.30 Stratford)

Impressive winner in France and made promising British debut at Wetherby in November. Excuses on handicap bow last time and looks capable of improving.
