Handicappers' nap

Al Erayg (7.10 Southwell)

Took well to Fibresand when winning in a higher grade over course and distance last week. Well treated under a penalty and a similar effort should see him follow up.

Newmarket nap

Great Image (4.55 Chelmsford)

Ran a good race to chase home previous winner Smokey Bear at Kempton last time and fancied to go one better.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Al Erayg (7.10 Southwell)

Switch to Fibresand brought out the improvement required for him to finally add to his debut win back in April 2016. Likely he can win again on this surface.

Irish Angle

Flicker Flame (1.55 Thurles)

Runner-up to Rebel Og over course and distance two weeks ago, the Joseph O'Brien-trained five-year-old can prove the pick in this 2m mares' maiden hurdle.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Atletico (6.25 Chelmsford)

Caught the eye again when denied a clear run over course and distance last time and is extremely well treated on past form.
Robbie Wilders

Speed Figures

Hareem Queen (6.10 Southwell)

Romped home in a course-and-distance maiden last month and begins life in handicaps on a fair mark.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

The Bay Birch (2.15 Market Rasen)

Thriving eight-year-old produced a career-best performance on her reappearance at Chepstow and can take the step up in class in her stride.

Dark horse

Dashel Drasher (2.05 Newbury)

Not far behind Champ on official hurdle ratings and has the frame to make a chaser. He could prove hard to catch and offers some value in a cracking race.
