The Punt Daily: Tom Collins with three to follow on Saturday

BANKER

Landecker (12.45 Kelso)

This ten-year-old saves his best for Kelso, with all five career victories coming at the track (from 17 starts, 0-23 elsewhere) including twice over this course and distance. He's not the smoothest of travellers but he knows where the finishing line is at the Scottish venue and, although he's making his first start for 178 days, he has gone well fresh in the past. His last three starts, which came in April and May, were extremely below-par, but a recent wind operation and return to this track will hopefully get him back to his best. His last two victories have come off this mark of 115.

EYECATCHER

(2.40 Aintree)

You would struggle to find a jumps yard in better form than Philip Hobbs' at the moment, with seven winners in the last fortnight (29 per cent strike-rate). He has a few runners today, but War Sound rates one of his better opportunities to enhance that stat despite boasting a stat of 0-8 over fences. The unexposed nine-year-old has, however, hit the crossbar on numerous occasions and surely has a race of this nature in him off his current mark. The trip and ground won't prove a problem and he's gone well first time up in recent seasons.

DARK HORSE

(3.15 Doncaster)

Plenty of trainers will have laid a horse out for the valuable November Handicap at the start of the year, and there's nothing that makes me think William Haggas's My Lord And Master isn't one. The chestnut colt, who has won just one race from seven starts, looked extremely talented when destroying the subsequent triple Group 3-winner Young Rascal on his last start as a juvenile, and ran creditably in Group company himself in the spring this season. Haggas then gave him the whole summer off before running well in two soft-ground handicaps. He finished like a train when last seen over a shorter trip, his mark of 103 is lenient on last year's form and the ground should be ideal. He has to go close.
