Newmarket: David Milnes

Mootasadir (6.45 Wolverhampton, nap)

Was supposed to run in Dubai last week but has been rerouted here, and looked in good nick at Hugo Palmer’s open morning on Saturday.

Others to follow
Wolverhampton 7.15 My Target, 7.45 Questionare, 8.15 Sussudio

North: Richard Young

Kelly's Dino (6.45 Wolverhampton, nap)

Very useful multiple winner who has a good record fresh and has no problems with this surface. May be capable of better still this season and fancied to go well for in-form yard.

Others to follow
Fakenham 3.45 Taras Day, 4.15 Holy Street
Southwell 2.20 Oliver's Gold, 2.50 Emerald Chieftan, 3.55 Tomkevi, 4.25 Rock N'Stones, 5.00 Arboretum, 5.30 Forest Fusion
Wolverhampton 5.45 Traveller, 6.15 Kupa River, 7.15 Puchita, 8.15 Metal Exchange

Lambourn: James Burn

Lexington Law (6.45 Wolverhampton, nap)

Useful all-weather performer that failed to fire at Kempton last time, but Alan King's Flat runners are often worth keeping an eye on and this looks a suitable race for the gelding.

Others to follow
Fakenham 2.40 Sackett, 3.10 Canyon City, 4.50 Raising The Bar
Wolverhampton 7.15 Chevallier, 8.15 Designated

West Country: Andrew King

Truckers Tangle (4.15 Fakenham, nap)

Runner-up on chasing debut last time and can go one better with the step up in trip likely to suit.

Others to follow
Fakenham 3.45 Molliana 4.50 Niblawi
Southwell 2.20 Ut Majeur Aulmes 2.50 Three In One 3.20 River Bray 3.55 Captain Drake 5.30 Winningseverything

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Costante Via (5.00 Southwell)

Still a maiden, but has shaped well on both starts over hurdles this season and this looks a good opportunity for her to get off the mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Captain Drake (3.55 Southwell)

Had a bit up his sleeve when opening his account over hurdles at Uttoxeter last December and this longer trip may bring about further improvement.

Longshot: Olly Eden

Big Penny (3.55 Southwell)

Disappointing start to the season when pulled-up, but took a step-back in the right direction last time out. Returns to the track after wind surgery and a three month break, but Jonjo O'Neill Jr claims a handy 5lb and he could outrun his price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

The Echo Boy (2.00 Leopardstown)

Runner-up to City Island over 2m3f at Naas on his most recent start, the front-running six-year-old drops to 2m in today's novice event and gets the vote to score for Dermot McLoughlin and Conor Maxwell.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Neil Mulholland has won with ten of his last 18 runners in handicap hurdles at Fakenham. Therefore, Molliana in the 3.45 has to be of interest.
