13:10 Wetherby – Trelawne
ITV Saturday gets under way here with the Grade 2 Towton Novices’ Chase over an extended 2m3f. Meetingofthwaters might want further, and I’m going to chance a horse I Love in TRELAWNE for Kim Bailey and David Bass. My hope loves deep ground and really impressed me over hurdles at Ffos Las last season. Chasing this term has gone well and he was a fair third at Cheltenham when last seen. I think he might be a bit better than that effort suggests.
13:30 Kempton – Flegmatik
ITV’s main coverage Saturday is at Kempton and Warwick and at Kempton begins with this handicap chase over 3m. FLEGMATIK is not chucked in for this but can operate off 137 well enough and goes well at the track. His third at Ascot last time was reasonable and he should have every chance for Dan Skelton with Tristan Durrell taking off a useful 3lb.
13:49 Warwick – The Big Breakaway
Here’s a handicap hurdle over 3m1f. The return of Third Wind, who did this column a right turn when winning at 25-1 at Cheltenham in 2022! If ready he could easily take this. I’ll risk THE BIG BREAKAWAY bouncing back to form over hurdles after flops over fences. A mark of 137 is 10lb less than when in the Welsh National and he’s been up to 151 in his time. Stamina is no issue and there should be pace on here via Kyntara. The last time he ran over hurdles was at Newbury in 2022 when a fair third off 144.
14:07 Kempton – Pic Dorhy
This is a Grade 2 Chase over an extended 2m. I’m happy to stick with PIC DORHY who has everything in his favour with the course and distance ideal. The recent Ascot winner has every chance to go from the front here if he wants and should take some pegging back for the champions Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden.
14:24 Warwick – Broadway Boy
Up in class for a Grade 2 novices’ chase over 3m. There’s nothing about BROADWAY BOY I don’t love and he has to be the selection for Sam and Nigel Twiston-Davies. I also adore Grey Dawning, but Broadway Boy looks a right decent sort for his team and he can give weight away here with solid jumping after a fine success at Cheltenham last time over Threeunderthrufive.

14:42 Kempton – Up For Parol
The big betting race of the day in the Lanzarote Handicap Hurdle over 2m5f. There are far sexier horses in this race than UP FOR PAROL but last season’s third is 3lb lower this time around and really should have place claims for Jamie Snowden and the excellent Tom Bellamy. My selection ran all right in a small field at Fontwell last time and you would think has been laid out for this.
15:00 Warwick – Guetapan Collonges (each-way)
Stamina needed here for the Classic Handicap Chase over 3m5f. I think we will get a run from GUETAPAN COLLONGES here for Charlie Longsdon and Richie McLernon. He’s high enough in the weights, but the Midlands National fourth stays all day and jumps with aplomb. The third at Cheltenham last time was decent and this slightly longer trip will suit. Strong each-way bet.
15:35 Warwick – Lord Du Mensil
Moved from Sandown this is the veterans’ handicap chase final over 3m. Conditions are right for LORD DU MESNIL to run a big one for Lilly Pinchin and Richard Hobson. The old boy was far from disgraced over a shorter trip at Cheltenham last time and while his only previous visit here was a flop that was in a Classic Chase and this is easier.
So best of luck and pray for Yeeehaaas. You hear me Paddy?
