Newmarket nap

Kyllachy Gala (1.00 Lingfield)

Ran out a good winner over course and distance earlier this month and has been in good shape on Warren Hill of late.
David Milnes

Handicappers' nap

Tactical Manoeuvre (1.05 Taunton)

Suited by the switch back to hurdling when beating a subsequent winner at Exeter and remains well treated on the form of his 2018 course-and-distance win.
Steve Mason

West Country nap

Air Horse One (3.25 Taunton)

Has won over this course and distance in the past and this looks a good opportunity for him to strike again.
Andrew King

Eyecatcher

Poucor (1.40 Taunton)

A winner over 2m at Plumpton in November who did well to be placed over a longer trip last time considering he was plenty keen enough. He has more to offer.

Ace tipster

Song For Someone (2.25 Ascot)

Improving five-year-old who comes here having recorded back-to-back career-best RPRs. The form of his third at Sandown last time was franked when runner-up Protektorat won at Cheltenham on New Year's Day.
Graeme Rodway

Speed figures

Rock The Kasbah (2.50 Taunton)

Suited by a test of stamina, Rock The Kasbah was touched off at Cheltenham last month and deserves to go one better.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Nearly Perfect (1.15 Ascot)

Just two chasing starts and he made all at Wincanton two weeks ago in the second of them. 5lb higher in stronger company but makes obvious appeal given the prospect of further progress.
Jonathan Neesom

Dark horse

Ballymoy (2.25 Ascot)

Winner of this race last season off a 2lb lower mark. Novice chase campaign didn't go to plan, but can go close here reverting back to hurdles in ideal conditions.
Neil McCabe

Irish angle

Court Maid (1.55 Navan)

A three-time hurdles winner, Court Maid can land this 2m4f handicap under 5lb claimer Sean O'Keeffe.
