Cheltenham
CheltenhamCredit: Alan Crowhurst

Lambourn: James Burn

Jenkins (3.00 Cheltenham, nap)

Connections are convinced we will see better from this promising five-year-old, who has been working and schooling well.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 1.50 River Wylde, 3.30 Dame De Compagnie, 4.00 Mahlervous.
Fontwell 12.55 Lisp, 1.30 Private Malone, 2.40 Lettheriverrundry.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Melrose Boy (1.15 Cheltenham, nap)

Showed promise on all three starts over hurdles last season and reckoned to be on a fair mark now tackling handicaps. Fancied to be in the mix with the step up in trip expected to suit.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 1.50 Capitaine, 2.25 Fox Norton, 3.00 Misterton, 3.30 Slate House, 4.00 Crooks Peak.
Fontwell 12.20 Quiz Master, 12.55 Jukebox Jive, 1.30 Walt, 2.05 Rathlin Rose, 3.15 Soulsaver, 3.50 Minella Web.

North: Colin Russell

Nietzsche (3.00 Cheltenham, nap)

Developed into a decent juvenile hurdler last season and was unlucky on his final start when third in the Fred Winter after making a mistake at the last. Has had a couple of runs on the Flat and, with an excellent claimer booked, is fancied to go well again.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 1.15 Black Ivory, 2.25 Cloudy Dream, 3.30 Better Getalong.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Old Guard (3.00 Cheltenham, nap)

Won this race off a slightly lower mark a couple of years back and, with a talented conditional taking 5lb off his back, is weighted to go well in a wide-open handicap.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Fergal Mael Duin (2.05 Fontwell)

Earned a personal best when second in this marathon a year ago and Colin Tizzard's nine-year-old is two from three at the course.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

William H Bonney (3.00 Cheltenham)

Trip, track and ground will suit, and there should be more to come off his current mark.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Kilcarry Bridge (1.55 Cork)

With eight wins evenly split between hurdles and fences, the John Ryan-trained ten-year-old has good prospects of making it five over hurdles in this 2m handicap. He won a 3m handicap by ten lengths at Gowran Park before just failing to hold off Road To Respect in a Grade 3 chase at Punchestown on his most recent start.
