Going news, market movers and key punting pointers

Debuchet has proved expensive to follow over hurdles with multiple short-priced defeats but he will seldom have a more winnable opportunity than the 2m3f maiden hurdle (2.35) at Limerick.

The six-year-old has squandered plenty of chances since his second to the ill-fated Fayonagh in the 2017 Champion Bumper and the Mags Mullins yard must be hoping he can get off the mark over hurdles at the tenth attempt.

The Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions Stakes (3.35) at Chelmsford is another intriguing contest. Master trainer Aidan O'Brien makes his first foray to the Essex track with War Front colts USS Michigan and Antilles.

Jumping action at Huntingdon and Wetherby, along with all-weather action at Newcastle, should also be noted.

Too Darn Hot will miss Saturday's Greenham Stakes at Newbury, but one horse who could head to the Berkshire track later this season is Romanised, last season's Irish 2,000 Guineas winner.

A racing conman, who used a string of false identities to cheat racing punters out of more than £200,000, has been jailed for more than five years.

What to watch

Dave Clark, Jeremy Chapman, Ian Wilkerson and Steve Palmer pick out the best bets for one of the sporting highlights of the year – The US Masters, which commences today.

Final thought

If putting a line through Dark Vision's last run behind Too Darn Hot in the Champagne Stakes, he would likely be a very short price in the Woodford Reserve Cardinal Conditions Stakes (3.35) at Chelmsford. The son of Dream Ahead was mightily impressive on his previous three starts and it will be fascinating to see if trainer Mark Johnston is able to extract any improvement at three.
