13:00 – Love Your Work
On the back of his encouraging reappearance effort, LOVE YOUR WORK (nap) gets the vote. Follow Your Heart (second choice) warrants respect back down in trip/grade and Juan Les Pins enters calculations in his current form.
WELCOME TO PADDY POWER NEWS!
13:30 – Dark Enchantment
Tapeta debutants Griffin Park, Jade Country and Volos are respected on ratings, preferred in that order. However, the suggestion is DARK ENCHANTMENT who already has form on this surface having finished third over C&D 18 days ago. The selection is open to further improvement.
14:00 – Sir Gregory
Kempton winner SIR GREGORY may well have more to offer for Mick Appleby and is taken to defy a 5lb penalty. Second choice is Won Love, who ran respectably behind the selection last time. Atrafan is 2lb badly in under a penalty but he’s in great form and should run well, while Brazen Arrow completes the shortlist.
14:30 – Power Point
The lightly raced 5yo POWER POINT was a good second at Newcastle early last month before being denied a clear run there last time, and he’s taken to get off the mark this afternoon. Raabeh is a longstanding maiden and the step back up to 6f isn’t guaranteed to suit, but he’s been running really well of late and is feared most. Western Music and Rhubarb are other possible threats.

15:00 – Spring Is Sprung
Preference is for SPRING IS SPRUNG, who took well to this surface on his reappearance and should improve further. Second choice is True Jem who, like the selection, scored over C&D last month. Lucky Man is a consistent colt and Definitive Force remains unexposed. Navello is a useful sort but he looks a tad vulnerable off top weight kept to this distance.
15:30 – Marsh Benham
The only previous winner in the field is Salta Resta, who beat some of these opponents here two weeks ago and looks open to further progress. She commands respect but MARSH BENHAM, who is 2lb ahead of the assessor, looks ready to get off the mark. Berra Go and Bang On The Bell are also in the mix, while handicap newcomers Sweet Aroma and Waverley Star may be capable of improvement.

16:00 – Donya
In-form filly DONYA remains unexposed over 1m4f and is taken to follow up her Lingfield success. Mr Shady (second choice) has possibilities if he takes well to the visor, while Hammy End could end his losing spell if helped by the addition of cheekpieces. Capricorn Prince’s chance of a hat-trick depends on whether he transfers his Polytrack form back to Tapeta.
16:30 – Maharashtra
Progressive pair MAHARASHTRA and Batocchi have both won here on their last two starts and the first-named is taken to land the hat-trick, as he looked good value for his win last time off 4lb lower. Batocchi is the obvious danger, although So Macho returned to form with a promising third behind the selection last time.
