13:55 Line Of Descent (NAP)

The most interesting runner is arguably the juvenile LINE OF DESCENT (nap), who was useful on the Flat and has shaped with significant promise on both hurdling starts. He moves up in trip for today’s handicap debut and could have significant untapped potential in this sphere. Vintage Fizz ran well when upped to 2m4f last month and is second choice, ahead of closely matched pair Taragrace and Maisiebella.

14:33 Ar Mest

He seems to have some quirks but AR MEST has shown more than enough on his two starts for Henry Oliver to suggest he can be very dangerous off his current mark. He gets the nod ahead of Ecume Atlantique, who held on well to make a winning British debut last month. Costly Diamond did very well over fences last year and is next on the list.

15:08 Methodtothemadness

In a competitive race for the grade three runners make significant appeal. Mr Katanga has posted two very good performances at Chepstow since fitted with cheekpieces in February, while Daranova can build upon his very encouraging stable debut if he jumps with greater fluency here. However, the pick is class-dropper METHODTOTHEMADNESS, who chased home a useful mare over C&D last month and is still on a good mark.

15:43 Dawn Raider

Irish point winner Harry Du Berlais is very unexposed under rules and will be feared if strong in the betting before today’s chase/handicap debut but DAWN RAIDER has thrived in recent weeks and is still well handicapped on his Irish form. C&D winner Bitasweetsymphony also warrants consideration.

16:22 Tigerbythetail

In Our Dreams and Dedanser (preferred in that order) can both go very well here if in peak form but the most persuasive option is TIGERBYTHETAIL, who posted a sound effort when placed over 2m4f last month and ought to be suited by today’s longer trip.

16:52 Spirit Of Regulus

With almost no form to go on, plenty of guesswork is required. That said, SPIRIT OF REGULUS has a very good pedigree and today’s riding arrangements suggest he’s the pick of Donald McCain’s four runners. Sworn To Be Free, The Kniphand and Let It Shine are others with good credentials on paper, while interest in Irish-raider Court Cian will be heightened if he attracts market support.
