Seeyouatmidnight: returns to action at Carlisle on SundayCredit: John Grossick

West Country: Andrew King

Garran City (2.45 Ffos Las, nap)

Ran with plenty of promise on debut for David Pipe and has been found what is expected to be a good opportunity to open his account in Britain.

Others to follow
Ffos Las: 2.15 Great Tempo.

Lambourn: James Burn

Fly Du Charmil (3.50 Ffos Las, nap)

Up 4lb for course success last month, but that is not unreasonable and he can cap a fine week for Cheltenham Festival-winning trainer Warren Greatrex.

Others to follow
Ffos Las: 2.15 Jack Bear, 4.25 Howaboutnever, 5.00 Ceann Sibheal.

North: Colin Russell

Seeyouatmidnight (3.40 Carlisle, nap)

Classy chaser who has the Grand National as his target. Has a good record fresh and having had a wind operation and with conditions to suit is fancied to go well after nearly a year off.

Others to follow
Carlisle: 2.05 Pc Dixon, 2.35 Bollin Ace, 3.10 Donna's Delight, 4.15 Instingtive, 4.50 Cultram Abbey.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Flanagans Field (2.15 Ffos Las, nap)

Took this race by a wide margin off a 7lb higher mark last year and has been running well enough to suggest a repeat performance could be on the cards.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Garran City (2.45 Ffos Las)

Promising third on hurdling debut at Chepstow recently and a similar effort would put him firmly in the driving seat.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Saint John Henry(5.00 Ffos Las)

Out of sorts lately but trip, track and ground will suit so cannot be ruled out off 116.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Crackerdancer (2.30 Limerick)

A three-time bumper winner and a decisive winner of a maiden hurdle at this course, the Ray Hackett-trained eight-year-old was not able to dominate in the Solerina Hurdle won by Laurina at Fairyhouse last time and was done with when falling two out. This looks more manageable and although stepping up in trip, she can land this Grade 3 for mares.


Raceform Interactive nugget

The last three horses Gordon Elliott has sent to a bumper following a run over hurdles have finished 113. Monition fits that that statistic in the 5.35 at Navan.
