Talented Teruntum can star again on soft ground

Newmarket: David Milnes

Towerlands Park (3.15 Doncaster, nap)

Michael Bell’s lightly raced type has been laid out for this since his encouraging return from injury at Newbury last month. The four-year-old will like the soft ground and has worked nicely on the Cambridge Road Polytrack of late.

Others to follow
Doncaster 11.55 Al Asaf, 12.25 Tallow, 1.00 Pastime, 1.25 London, 2.05 Dream Of Dreams, 2.40 Vintage Folly.
Wolverhampton 4.20 Reedanjas, 4.50 Rockley Point, 5.20 Stylish Dancer, 6.20 Global Exceed, 6.50 Show Stealer, 7.50 Luang Prabang.

Lambourn: James Burn

Machine Learner (3.15 Doncaster, nap)

If you put a line through the four-year-old’s latest effort he looks progressive. Trainer Joe Tuite won this race two years ago with Litigant and a big run is on the cards.

Others to follow
Aintree 12.30 Flemeskill, 1.40 Vyta Duc Roc, 2.15 The Fresh Prince, 2.50 Top Notch, 4.00 Ned Curtis.
Doncaster 11.55 HIdden Affair, 2.40 Star Rock.
Wincanton 1.50 The Organist, 3.00 Lough Derg Spirit, 3.35 Fact Of The Matter.
Wolverhampton 4.20 Zenovia, 4.50 Exquisite Ruby.

North: Richard Young

Teruntum Star (2.05 Doncaster, nap)

Progressive sort and regular winner who looks well worth a crack at Listed company following victories in good-quality handicaps at Ripon and York. Fully effective on soft ground and fancied to extend the winning run.

Others to follow
Aintree 12.30 Barton Knoll, 1.40 Bon Chic, 3.25 Duke Of Navan, 4.00 Henry’s Joy.
Doncaster 11.55 Lady Wilpower, 12.25 The British Lion, 1.00 Hajjam, 1.35 Get Knotted, 2.40 Empress Ali, 3.15 Sepal, 3.50 Mable Lee.
Kelso 12.15 Coole Hall, 12.50 Oak Vintage, 1.25 Tawseef, 2.00 Sudski Star, 2.35 Welcome Ben, 3.10 Benny’s Secret, 3.45 Derriana Spirit.
Wolverhampton 4.50 Fikhaar, 5.50 Fast Act, 6.50 Peach Melba, 7.20 Guvenor’s Choice, 7.50 Doria Road.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Louis’ Vac Pouch (1.40 Aintree, nap)

Shaped as though this step up in distance would suit when catching the eye at Chepstow on his reappearance. With that run under his belt he is expected to go close.

Others to follow
Aintree 12.30 The Dellercheckout, 2.15 Voix D’Eau, 2.50 Unowhatimeanharry.
Wincanton 12.40 If The Cap Fits, 1.15 Master Burbidge, 1.50 Copper Kay, 2.25 Modus, 3.00 Flying Tiger, 3.35 Southfield Theatre, 4.10 Caribert.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Melodic Rendezvous (3.00 Wincanton, nap)

Mud-loving veteran who won this race on his reappearance in 2013 and has run well in defeat first time up in the three subsequent seasons. Showed enough over course and distance in February to suggest he can go well off 135.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Lough Derg Spirit (3.00 Wincanton)

Pulled up at Aintree on his final outing last term but better judged on victories at Kempton and Musselburgh and Nicky Henderson’s four-year may have been let in lightly.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

On Tour (2.15 Aintree)

Enigmatic character, but he wasn’t beaten far in this race last year and has a good record fresh. Should go well off his current mark.

Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Ordinary World (12.35 Naas)

Although seeking only his second win over fences, last season’s form, when placed in Grade 1s won by Min, Altior and Great Field, gives him outstanding claims.
