Whisper to have the last word in the Ladbrokes Trophy

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Air Horse One (1.50 Newbury, nap)

A solid performer in top class handicaps last season and another good effort on his return behind Greatwood winner Elgin. Despite the 4lb rise, he is fancied to make his presence felt back up in distance.

Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Towerlands Park (7.45 Wolverhampton, nap)

He was a touch disappointing in the November Handicap but it is worth taking the chance the return to this surface will spark a revival. The step back in trip is certain to suit and he is strongly fancied to return to winning ways.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Old Guard (1.50 Newbury, nap)

Well-treated on the pick of his form and shaped like the return to today's trip would suit when finishing a creditable third in the valuable Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Carole's Destrier (3.00 Newbury)

A gallant second in this race last season and was sidelined with a muscle problem for almost twelve months. Fully recovered now he can go one better.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Vicenzo Mio (1.50 Newbury)

On a competitive mark judged on his best form, and with trip and ground to suit, he holds each-way claims.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Magic Of Light (12.50 Fairyhouse)

A faller at Clonmel on her most recent start, the Jessica Harrington-trained six-year-old had won over today’s course on her previous outing and appeals on her handicap debut in this 2m4f mares chase.
