1.75 RING THE MOON; 4.00 DON HERBAGER (FR); 6.00 CATLIN; 10.00 DO IT FOR THY SEN (IRE); LINENHALL (IRE); MAX DYNAMO; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

RING THE MOON arrives on a hat-trick after registering victories over 2m4f here and, more recently, over an extended 2m5f at Taunton. It is possible this stiffer test could unlock improvement from Evan Williams' eight-year-old, who is turned out under a penalty, while Don Herbager is holding his form well and attracted market support at Carlisle last time. Another big run from him likely beckons, while recent Market Rasen third Catlin could also take a hand.

Forecast:

1.75 JACK VALENTINE (IRE); 4.50 DOUKAROV (FR); 6.00 COURT ROYALE (IRE); 7.00 GETABUCK (IRE); 8.00 PRESENT FROM DUBAI (IRE); 10.00 KAPDAD (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

JACK VALENTINE struck over C&D off 6lb lower on his penultimate outing and although he was held over 2m3f at Catterick last time, it is possible that the return to this venue could spark a return to winning ways. Doukarov is rated only 3lb higher than when winning over this trip at Taunton in November and is considered the principal threat. Court Royale and Present From Dubai can battle it out for the bronze medal.

Forecast:

1.10 DESTIN D'AJONC (FR); 3.50 BRIANSTORM (IRE); 4.50 SOMEKINDOFSTAR (IRE); 10.00 CORRI LINDO (FR); TO BE SURE; 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

Brianstorm needs to leave behind his last run at Doncaster if he's to figure but he makes strong appeal on his preceding 2m3f second at Exeter. Preference, nevertheless, is for DESTIN D'AJONC, who is taken to back up his comfortable Chepstow victory last month and overcome a 7lb rise in the ratings. Somekindofstar, who won easily at Market Rasen on his penultimate start and attracted market support at Warwick last time, looks best of the rest.

Preview:

ARQALINA has been found another good opening after she comfortably justified favouritism at Hereford last month. The drop in trip helped her on that occasion and she might still be well handicapped off 95. Boro Babe performed admirably for the silver medal at Ffos Las and a repeat of that effort puts her right in the mix, while Episode rates best of the rest.

Forecast:

1.20 CAT TIGER (FR); 3.00 KILLARO BOY (IRE); 5.00 TANGO DE JUILLEY (FR); 11.00 AND BETTER OTHERS.

Preview:

CAT TIGER should win this comfortably if running up to a mark of 142. He has had wind surgery since his latest outing and the absence isn't a worry given his connections. Tango De Juilley placed in a handicap at the Cheltenham Festival in 2016 and was deemed good enough for the JLT Novices' Chase the year before that. He can make his presence felt, likewise Straidnahanna.
