BANKER

Rather Be (1.55 Towcester)

Nicky Henderson had a cracking day on Wednesday and he can saddle another winner as Rather Be embarks on his chasing career at Towcester. This is an intriguing race with Ruby Rambler making her first start for 628 days, while Kayf Blanco and War Sound – Rather Be's main dangers – have experience of chasing in public. Rather Be, however, is clearly the class horse in this contest and if he gets back to the form of his Grade 3 handicap hurdle victory at Aintree, he should cruise home provided he takes to the larger obstacles.

GOOD THING

Pulsating(8.45 Chelmsford)

Had become exposed for his previous trainer Daniel Steele but was sparked into life by Archie Watson with form figures of 21 since he moved yards. Heavily backed on debut for the trainer, he ran a screamer but just failed to peg back a well-handicapped Irish-trained runner, with his main market rival for today's race Olaudah a length and a half back in fourth. He has a swing in the weights with Pulsating today following Watson's three-year-old picking up a penalty for a very comfortable Wolverhampton victory less than a week ago, but Pulsating seems to be rapidly improving and I'm sticking with him.

IRISH ANGLE

Rock On Dandy(7.30 Dundalk)

Rock On Dandy has been on fire. Winner of both starts since moving to Ireland from Harry Dunlop's yard, this three-year-old gelding has really taken to the all-weather surface at Dundalk and should make it a hat-trick of victories under a penalty here. His yard is in fantastic form and expect Padraig Beggy to hold him up in the early stages before coming home well late in the day.
