Highway can hit the right mark on return to favoured track

Hit The Highway: hasn't been the most consistent but has an excellent record at Leicester

Lambourn: James Burn

Zipedeedodah (4.10 Chelmsford, nap)

Lengthy losing run to defy, but not far away in two course-and-distance appearances recently and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy, who tends to get a good tune out of this gelding.

Others to follow
Chelmsford: 1.25 Paradise Lake, 2.25 Boomerang Betty, 3.00 William Hunter, 3.35 Danzan.

Newmarket: David Milnes

Lazarus (4.05 Newcastle, nap)

Got up under a fine ride from today's jockey Jack Mitchell to score at Chelmsford last time and fancied to defy a 6lb penalty. Amy Murphy's handicapper was finishing to good effect that day and should relish this stiff finish.

Others to follow
Chelmsford: 1.25 Lunar Deity, 1.55 Buckland Beau, 3.00 Time To Blossom, 3.35 Regina Nostra, 4.10 Bernie's Boy

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Iniesta (2.15 Leicester, nap)

Respectable efforts in claimers since winning a seller in October and again back on the Flat last time. Sets the standard and expected to take the beating on stable debut.

Others to follow
Leicester: 1.15 Springtown Lake, 3.25 Triple Chief.

North: Colin Russell

Bosham (4.10 Chelmsford, nap)

Not the force he once was, but goes well on the course and with Adam Kirby an interesting booking and off his current good mark is fancied to get back to winning ways.

Others to follow
Ayr: 1.35 Sweet As Candy, 2.05 Uncle Alastair, 2.35 Cockley Beck, 3.10 Shanroe Street, 3.45 Hills Of Dubai, 4.20 Sporting Press.
Chelmsford: 1.25 My Amigo, 1.55 Raven Banner, 2.25 Harvest Day, 3.35 Furze Lady.
Newcastle: 4.05 Desert Ruler, 4.40 Vale Of Kent, 5.15 Ghost, 5.45 How Bizarre, 6.15 Oriental Lily, 6.45 Star Cracker.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Hills Of Dubai (3.45 Ayr, nap)

Looked a natural when making a winning chasing debut over course and distance earlier this month and can follow up off a 7lb higher mark for his in-form yard.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Harvest Day (2.25 Chelmsford)

Left earlier efforts well behind when upped to 7f at Wolverhampton nine days ago and even with a penalty is 5lb well in today.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Hit The Highway (1.45 Leicester)

Blows hot and cold, but has a cracking record at this venue and will relish underfoot conditions so could easily bounce back to form.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Celtic Rising (2.45 Down Royal)

Runner-up at Limerick last month when having his second run over hurdles, the Henry de Bromhead-trained six-year-old gets the vote to land today’s two mile maiden under Andrew Lynch.


The Raceform Interactive nugget

Since 2015, Willie Mullins is an impressive 7/13 with runners at Down Royal. In that time he's 1/1 in bumpers there, so Harrie in the 4.25 should be hard to beat.
