Forecast:

0.62 AR MEST (FR); 3.00 FERROBIN (IRE); 4.50 MALINA OCARINA; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

AR MEST has landed the silver medal at Huntingdon and Fontwell the last twice and may be able to go one better on these terms now sporting first-time cheekpieces. Ferrobin appears the main danger to the selection at the weights, although Malina Ocarina is no forlorn hope either if she can recapture the form that saw her win at Huntingdon in February. Staithes would be a surprise winner.

Preview:

TREACYS JIM has been raised 6lb for finishing runner-up at Newton Abbot last month but he was 24 lengths clear of the rest of the field and the higher mark is fully warranted. He's expected to give another good account over the same trip here. Eurkash has been running well in defeat over 2m3f at Plumpton and could put up most resistance. Recent Fontwell second Etat Major Aulmes is another to note.

Forecast:

1.50 TOSSAPENNY (IRE); 2.00 BUCKO'S BOY; 4.00 DANCING DORIS; 7.50 GLOBAL AGREEMENT; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

TOSSAPENNY returned to form when third over the extended 2m3f at Hereford last time and should give another good account over this similar trip. Bumper winner Bucko's Boy has more to offer over hurdles and could pick up some minor money, likewise Dancing Doris, who landed the silver medal over 2m here last time and promises to be suited by this stiffer test.

Preview:

Useful chaser WISECRACKER could be the answer here reverting to hurdles off a mark that is 1lb lower than his sole fences victory and he is sure to appreciate the sound underfoot conditions. Mr Yeats appears to have been given a chance by the handicapper, racing off a mark 3lb lower than when third at Taunton last month, while Top Beak was a winner on his penultimate start and makes the shortlist now stepping up in trip.

Preview:

Course-and-distance winner FRIENDS DON'T ASK left a disappointing run in the Eider behind when returning to his best in first-time cheekpieces at Fontwell last time. He clearly enjoys a marathon test on a sound surface and can keep progressing here off a 5lb higher mark. Robin Of Sherwood (first) got the better of subsequent scorer High Counsel (second) when they met over 3m5f at Warwick last month and both are likely to be thereabouts here, while Game Line and Magic River also arrive on the back of victory and add further depth to a competitive contest.

1.10 TULLYS TOUCH (IRE); 4.00 LASER BEAM (IRE); 5.00 SENSE OF ADVENTURE (IRE); 5.50 STREETS OF LONDON (IRE); 8.00 BOMBAY BASIL (IRE).

Preview:

TULLYS TOUCH returned from over a year off with a brave success at High Easter recently and providing that hasn't left a mark, the five-time winning pointer could add a first victory under Rules here. Laser Beam was back in fifth there and knows what it takes to win, while Streets Of London impressed at Aldington last time and could be the one to give the selection most to think about.
