North: Colin Russell

Danceintothelight (12.10 Catterick, nap)

Won this amateur riders' race in 2015 and 2016, and as he is now on a really good mark and his stable is in fine form, is fancied to complete the three-timer.

Others to follow
Catterick: 12.40 Fabianski, 1.10 Manwell, 1.40 Rainy City, 2.10 Sweet Vinetta, 2.40 Halcyon Days, 3.10 The Maestro.
Southwell: 11.55 Fingal's Cave, 12.25 Wind Storm, 1.00 Luv U Whatever, 1.30 Angel Palanas, 2.00 Kodi Beach, 2.30 Melgate Magic, 3.00 Geography Teacher, 3.30 Bold Spirit.

Lambourn: James Burn

Midnight Chill (2.40 Catterick, nap)

Kept on well to win on chasing debut at Sedgefield last month and another raid north looks set to pay off as trainer Jamie Snowden has found a good opportunity.

Others to follow
Catterick: 1.40 Our Reward.
Fakenham: 12.50 Sula Island, 1.20 Little Millie, 1.50 Enjoy Responsibly, 2.20 Glorvina.
Southwell: 1.30 National Glory, 2.00 Dotted Swiss, 3.30 Jabarout.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Danceintothelight (12.10 Catterick, nap)

On a lengthy losing run, but he is a multiple course and distance winner and looks well treated as he bids for a third win in this race.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Manwell (1.10 Catterick)

Has found one too good in all five starts over fences but there is nothing wrong with his attitude and he can end his frustrating sequence.

Longshot: Sam King

Cool Kitty (2.30 Southwell)

Close second on her final start for Richard Hannon and can be expected to improve for last month's debut for Rebecca Menzies. Can go well at an each-way price under apprentice Thore Hammer Hansen.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Duc De Genievres (1.35 Naas)

Was a fair sort over hurdles last season but always looked more of a chaser in the making. Career-best effort arguably came at this track in Grade 1 company.
