The Lowdown: going updates, racecards, news and tips for today's racing

Today's news

• CESAREWITCH LATEST:Sir Mark Prescott has convinced Osborne House Syndicate not to run Distant Chimes in Saturday's feature handicap in order to give the lightly weighted Land Of Oz a better chance of getting into the heritage handicap.
• TOP PROSPECT: Twice a Grade 1 winner in the novice hurdles last season, general 12-1 JLT Novices' Chase favourite Reserve Tank will be unleashed for a first start over fences at Chepstow on Saturday. Colin Tizzard has used the same novice chase to launch the chasing careers of Native River, Thistlecrack and Elegant Escape.
• NEWCASTLE BAN:Roger Fell expressed his disappointment after La Trinidad was banned for 40 days for being deemed a non-trier at Newcastle on Monday night.
• UNDERRATED: Powerful Breeze is unbeaten in two starts for Hugo Palmer and the Classic-winning trainer believes the daughter of Iffraaj is being underestimated ahead of Friday's bet365 Fillies' Mile at Newmarket.
