Newmarket: David Milnes

Lazarus (2.55 Chelmsford, nap)

Did not have the run of the race when third to Deeley's Choice over a mile and a half at Kempton last time and fancied to atone. The four-year-old is fancied to extend Amy Murphy's decent recent run.

Others to follow
Chelmsford: 1.25 Michael Corleone, 1.55 Bo Selecta, 2.25 Stosur, 3.25 Nurse Nightingale, 3.55 Come On Dave.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Colmers Hill (2.40 Fontwell, nap)

Jeremy Scotts' gelding has improved for the switch to fences since returning from a absence and with further improvement expected he is fancied to open his account.

Others to follow
Fontwell: 1.40 Native Robin, 2.10 Fourth Act, 3.10 Melrose Boy.

Lambourn: James Burn

Cody Wyoming (1.40 Fontwell, nap)

New mark makes things trickier, but this 12-year-old produced arguably a career-best last time and has the assistance of the in-form Harry Bannister again, who gets on well with the veteran.

Others to follow
Fontwell: 1.10 Lisp.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Mr Potter (1.55 Chelmsford)

On a long losing run but has some smart form at the venue and cannot be dismissed on a surface he enjoys.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Theo's Charm (2.10 Fontwell, nap)

Below par over fences latest, but is on a fair mark over hurdles and is probably better judged on his earlier third behind the Stayers' Hurdle-bound Sam Spinner at Haydock.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Jetez (1.20 Thurles)

Found one too good at Leopardstown last month but a similar effort could see him go one better.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Burrows Saint (1.50 Thurles)

The form of the Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old’s 2m4f maiden hurdle win at Punchestown in November has been well-advertised with the runner-up winning at Leopardstown’s Christmas meeting. The extra two furlongs today should not be a problem and he can follow up under Paul Townend.

Alan King and Wayne Hutchinson are 9-19 (47% strike-rate) when joining forces in novice hurdle races at Fontwell, for a £1 level-stakes profit of £11.16. Lisp goes in the 1.10.
