Territory can provide racegoers with equine theatre at Wincanton

Newmarket: David Milnes

Picture Poet (4.55 Newcastle, nap)

Henry Spiller sends a big team up to Gosforth Park including this three-year-old who was not beaten far over course and distance last time. The son of Camacho has since been gelded and is fancied to get his head in front.

Others to follow
Newcastle 3.55 Kyoto Star, 4.25 Irish Times, 5.25 Sporting Bill, 6.55 Gnaad, 7.25 Royal Mezyan.

North: Colin Russell

Dommersen (3.55 Newcastle, nap)

Has dropped to a really good mark and, having shown signs of a return to form when a fine second to Elysees Palace over course and distance last time, is fancied to turn the tables on that rival on more favourable terms.

Others to follow
Ludlow 3.25 Crazy Jack.
Market Rasen 12.30 Event Of Sivola, 1.00 Weakfield, 1.35 Rockcliffe, 3.15 Ryalex, 3.45 Houndscourt.
Newcastle 4.25 Miss Bates, 4.55 Vrai, 5.35 Sheila's Treat, 6.25 Beathoffreshair, 6.55 Warriors Valley, 7.25 Cuppacoco.

Lambourn: James Burn

Theatre Territory (3.00 Wincanton, nap)

Capable mare who is yet to win over fences but has displayed some solid form and this looks a golden opportunity for her to strike in a first-time visor.

Others to follow
Ludlow 12.40 War Chief, 1.10 Kupatana, 2.50 No No Juliet, 4.00 Honourmission.
Market Rasen 12.30 Deyrann De Carjac, 2.40 Shantewe.
Newcastle 7.25 Social Butterfly.
Wincanton 1.20 Thistle Do Nicely, 1.55 Mick Maestro, 2.25 Like The Sound, 4.10 Down To The Sea.

West Country: Andrew King

Garrane (2.25 Wincanton, nap)

Has bumped into one too good in three starts this term but can make amends as he has a few things in his favour on this occasion.

Others to follow
Wincanton 12.50 Pineapple Rush, 1.20 Whatsmeanttobe, 1.55 Highest Sun, 4.10 Golden Gift.
Ludlow 1.10 Little Miss Poet.
Market Rasen 1.35 Friday Night Light.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Gold Chain (2.50 Ludlow, nap)

Given a big hike in the weights after beating a subsequent winner at Newcastle last month. Her subsequent defeat at Market Rasen on boxing day in a messy race can be excused and she can win off her current mark.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Garrane (2.25 Wincanton)

Has finished second in all three starts over fences and would not be winning out of turn.

Longshot: Olly Eden

Pilansberg (12:50 Wincanton)

Returned from a lengthy absence to finish well-beaten the last twice although latest effort was promising after travelling well before tiring in unsuitably soft ground. He has dropped to a competitive mark if back to full fitness and can go well under these quicker conditions.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Since 2015, Paul Nicholls-trained horses in handicap hurdles at Wincanton who didn't fill a first four position when last seen but did finish have form figures of 13521135. Therefore, Pilansberg in the 12.50 makes each-way appeal.
