Return to Thurles can help Sub Lieutenant strike in Grade 2

North: Colin Russell

No No Mac (3.40 Ayr, nap)

Not the force of old but is on a really good mark over hurdles at present. Shaped well on stable debut when he made a bad mistake four out and is expected to go well in this lesser event.

Others to follow
Ayr 12.50 Glinger Flame, 1.25 Speak Of The Devil, 2.00 Sam's Gunner, 2.30 Kings Eclipse, 3.05 Well Above Par, 4.10 Jessiemac.

Lambourn: James Burn

Printing Dollars (2.50 Exeter, nap)

Second to a well-regarded rival at Warwick last month and a repeat of that effort should make her hard to beat.

Others to follow
Exeter 1.10 Peur De Rien, 1.45 Sammy Bill, 4.30 Young Lieutenant.

West Country: Andrew King

Kahdian (2.20 Exeter, nap)

Showed enough last time when not beaten far at Uttoxeter to suggest he has a big chance in this line-up.

Others to follow

Exeter 1.10 Floresco, 1.45 Haldon Hill, 2.50 Cedar Valley, 3.25 Samuel Jackson, 4.00 Big Time Frank, 4.30 Saint De Reve.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Galactic Power (1.10 Exeter)

Shaped well when runner-up over course and distance last month and it can pay to ignore a subsequent run in a muddling race at Ludlow.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Equus Secretus (3.25 Exeter)

Made a promising chasing debut on his seasonal return at Ludlow last month and can make his mark in this sphere.

Longshot: Ben Harris

So Satisfied (3.40 Ayr)

Less than impressive recent form over fences, where his jumping has, at times, been his downfall. Reverts back to the smaller obstacles for the first time since 2016 and switch might spark a revival. He's well handicapped to take advantage if it does.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Sub Lieutenant (2.10 Thurles)

Although disappointing on his last two starts, he has performed well at the track in the past. He ran second to Sizing John in this event two years ago and is well-treated in the weights.

When Conas Taoi has had an official mark under 97 in handicap chases, his form figures read 141111. He's dropped to a rating of 92 for the 4.00 at Exeter.
