Course-and-distance specialist Black Salt set to defy rise in weights

Newmarket: David Milnes

New King (5.15 Chelmsford, nap)

The son of Frankel showed the benefit of a debut run when scoring going away over an extended mile at Wolverhampton last month. John Gosden's colt, who worked nicely on the Al Bahathri at the weekend, is expected to relish this longer trip.Others to follow
Southwell 12.45 Princess Harley, 1.20 Erissimus Maximus, 2.25 Jack The Truth.
Chelmsford 4.15 Lunar Deity, 4.45 Joyful Dream, 5.50 Global Art, 6.25 Entihaar, 6.55 Napping, 7.25 Contingency Fee, 7.55 Premium Pink.

North: Richard Young

Black Salt (2.25 Southwell, nap)

Created a fine impression when winning both starts over the course and distance this winter and expected to make light of an 8lb rise in the handicap.Others to follow
Catterick 12.25 Gemologist, 1.00 Leodis, 1.35 Spinning Scooter, 2.10 The Some Dance Kid, 2.45 Western Jo, 3.15 Flowery, 3.50 Snowed In.

Lambourn: James Burn

Vieux Lille (2.45 Catterick, nap)

Fancied on his first start since a wind op for Jamie Snowden at Newbury last time but failed to fire. However, that was the nine-year-old's first appearance for 253 days so he should be sharper and he has subsequently been dropped 3lb.Others to follow
Catterick 12.25 Bodes Well, 2.10 Mythical Prince.
Chelmsford 7.25 Your Band, 7.55 Black Truffle.
Leicester 12.35 Midnight Chill, 1.10 Regulation, 2.35 What's Occurring, 3.25 Ken's Well.

West Country: Andrew King

Mistress Massini (1.35 Catterick, nap)

Made winning comeback for the Anthony Honeyball yard at Ludlow and connections are keen to strike again while the iron is hot.Others to follow
Catterick 1.00 Come On Charlie.
Leicester 12.35 New Millennium, 2.20 Master Work.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Flowery(3.15 Catterick, nap)

Showed much improved form to make a winning debut for his current yard at Sedgefield and the drop back in trip should not present a problem to this half-brother to high-class novice chaser Knocknanuss.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Glassy Waters (5.25 Meydan)

Won both starts on the all-weather last year and this lightly raced progressive five-year-old may still be ahead of his mark.

Longshot: David Revers

Born To Reason (4.45 Chelmsford City)

Kevin Frost's Born To Sea gelding is dangerously well handicapped. He's 7lb below his last winning mark and has had excuses on his last few starts. He should be able to produce better this time around.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Daybreak Boy (1.25 Clonmel)

Came up short but far from disgraced in a Grade 3 event at Navan last time, the Henry de Bromhead-trained six-year-old had easily landed a 24-runner maiden hurdle at Navan in September. The form of that race has worked out well and, although stepping up in trip here, Rachael Blackmore's mount makes plenty of appeal.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

When Olly Murphy has booked Aidan Coleman to ride for him this year it's produced form figures of 12111 (80 per cent, +£10.33 level-stakes profit). Therefore, American Tom has to be of interest in the 1.10 at Leicester.
