Hugo Palmer strikes at 27 per cent with those he send on a 200-mile-plus trip. Winner of a course-and-distance maiden last time out, Paris Magic travels 245 miles for Newcastle's 1m4f handicap at 1.50.

Paul Nicholls and Sam Twiston-Davies strike at 37 per cent when teaming up at Taunton. Collite Lass has an obvious chance for the pair in the 3.00 but Clo Sacre shouldn't be overlooked in the 2.00. Although disappointing on his sole bumper start, much better is expected on his hurdle debut.
