Nicky Richards sends three runners to Uttoxeter this afternoon, and Milcree has the best chance of the three. Milcree is 2 from 2 over fences, with his stable 2 from 5 at Uttoxeter in the past year, and he is enjoying a 46% strike rate this month (67% over fences, 4 from 6). The step up in trip looks likely to suit, and I'm expecting a big run.

The main knock on North Lodge seems to be the fact he's been off the track for 833 days. Prior to this break, his record under rules read 1-1-2-3-3, with a win in a Grade 2 novice on his second start and a good placed effort at Kelso and at the Aintree Festival, admittedly in 2022. But his final start, finishing 3rd of 10 in a 2m 4.5f handicap hurdle at Newbury in December 2023, came off a mark of 142 and after a break of 602 days. So he's run well after a lengthy absence in the past and is now 6 lbs lower than for that last start. The stable are in decent form, having had seven winners in the past 14 days, and the price on North Lodge looks too big off a decent-looking mark.

Nab Wood is another Nicky Richards runner worth an each-way bet at Uttoxeter today. He's been given a short break after underperforming at Windsor last time out, but comes back today with the stable enjoying a 46% strike rate in March. Nab Wood has won 2 of his four starts this season and has gone up from a mark of 123 to his current mark of 134 in the process. The short break could have freshened him up, and with five places being paid here, Nab Wood can reach the places for an each-way from the stable.

Nell's Son is worth chancing at 50-1 in the opener at Uttoxeter, running over hurdles off a reduced mark. The veteran chaser ran over hurdles on his seasonal reappearance and finished 5th, only beaten 6.75 lengths in a Class 2 at Carlisle in November. He was running off a mark of 135 that day and carried 11st 13lbs, but gets to run here off a mark of 129 and is running in a weaker-looking Class 3 race off the same weight. With four places being paid, the yard are in flying form, having had seven winners from 15 runners in the past two weeks. The selection could well find his way into the top four, and a win at huge odds isn't ruled out.

Fire Agate is the selection in the opener at Turfway tonight in what looks like a very winnable race.

The trainer is having plenty of winners at the moment, and with the sights lowered here he'll be a fair bit to beat.

Prince Hector looks rock-solid each way betting material in the last race at Chelmsford tonight. He's run over this course and distance three times and has never finished outside the first three. That includes last time out where he was second, beaten 1/2 a length under today's jockey off a mark of 47. He's gone up 1 lb for that, but has placed here off his current mark in the past. He is hard to win with but likes it here and could well get his head in front tonight.

Mad Dash hasn't shown much to date, especially on the all-weather. But her stable are red hot at the moment. The last eight runners that Andrew Balding has sent out have produced five winners, two seconds and a third. One of the favourites for this race is Ollie Sangster's Life After Love, who came good at the fifth attempt last time out on her first go at 5f. But that horse hadn't shown anything in her first four runs, and that is how sprinters can be. Mad Dash can do a similar thing in this race.

I'm expecting Regatta to take a step forward from his debut, where he finished 7th, beaten 10 lengths at Newbury in a stronger-looking race than this. The favourite comes from a powerful yard that has success with their runners here, so could be hard to beat, as he is also open to improvement from his debut. But Regatta's yard are in great form at the moment. Ferguson has had 2 winners from 3 runners in the last 14 days, and his last 6 runners have produced 4 winners. The trainer has a 35% win rate at Wolverhampton in the last year, with 6 winners and 4 placed horses from 17 runners.

Jane Williams had an impressive winner at Kempton yesterday, and she's had three winners from her last 10 runners, so she is in decent form. I have question marks about a few at the top of the market, with horses having proven themselves on better ground and trainers who aren't firing at their usual rate or who don't have many winners at Hereford. No Boundaries is encountering heavy ground for the first time, so there are questions here too, but that is reflected in his price, and his trainer is definitely in form and has had three winners from four runners at Hereford in the last 12 months.

Precious Man was beaten by One Horse Town when they met earlier in the season. The Harry Derham horse handled the heavy ground that day much better, and his jumping held up better in those conditions. One Horse Town has been beaten himself in his last two starts, most recently by a Skelton horse, so the yard know the measure of One Horse Town. I'm expecting Precious Man to jump much better on this more suitable ground, and he should show why he was favourite to win this matchup last time out.

Wyvern's last two runs have been over a mile here. He's finished 4th and 7th on those two starts. Prior to that he had figures of 123 over this trip, placing off this mark following a win off 3 lbs lower. Gina Mangan rode him to finish third here on the last of those three. He was staying on well that day but never reached the winner. That winner has gone in again off a 6 lbs higher mark, so was well handicapped on the day. With a well-timed finish, Wyvern can give his trainer his third win here in the last nine days.

Another three-horse race in the UK. It happens to be a novice handicap chase. I can't back a short-price favourite in a three-horse race or a match. Venetia Williams had a couple of winners yesterday, and her horses seem to be coming into their own. Hypotenus is running off softer ground than he's encountered for some time, but Venetia's horses often handle these conditions well. She gets a lot of her horses from France, and horses from there often love soft or heavy ground.

Rule Me In can get off the mark over the larger obstacles at Southwell this afternoon. The Christian Williams-trained horse has had three runs over fences to date. He's been beaten at least 25 lengths on all three starts, but the last of those was over 3 miles and stretched his stamina too much. He's dropped from an initial mark of 107 to a mark of 100 and is 1 from 1 at Southwell. He's got form over 2m 4f in soft ground, finishing second, although he was beaten 19 lengths on his second hurdles start a year ago. The horse that beat him in a maiden that day was Wade Out, who's now rated 145, and the selection was only getting 5 lbs from the winner. The horses behind him that day make his current rating look workable. Christian Williams has a good strike rate overall at Southwell, and this could be the day to be with this runner.

Christian Williams's horses haven't been in great form of late, but his runner at Leicester the other day ran a good race. His first winner in four weeks could be on the cards early today. Prince Cleni has run over this course and distance four times and has won three of those races. His last win was over course and distance, off his current mark on New Year's Day 2025. That was also the last time he ran on soft (heavy) ground. With Charlie Maggs claiming 5 lbs, he's carrying 12 lbs less than any other horse in the field. He shouldn't have to be up to his best to win this.

I'm struggling to see why there is such a difference between these three horses in the market. Three-runner races are often falsely run, and there is a reason the old adage is 'back the outsider in a three-horse race.' Assertive Walk was only beaten three lengths on his hurdles debut by a horse rated 120, who was having his third start over hurdles and is now rated 124. The opposition today is rated 114 and 116, so this looks easier on paper.

Oscar Nominee is a Frankel filly, who is likely to enjoy today's conditions based on breeding.

Those who have run before don't set a high standard, and this debutant could well be the one to come home in front.

Soft Risk's last run was his chase debut, where he won at Ayr over this kind of trip in a Novice Handicap Chase off a mark of 124. He runs here having been off the track for over two years, and that could be a negative. But he's only running off a mark of 126 here. That last win came after an absence of 628 days, so he's won off long breaks before. In fact, including his debut, he's 3 from 3 when fresh. Nicky Richards has had six winners from only 20 runners at Carlisle in the past year. Over the entirety of his training career, this is the track where you make the most money backing his runners. Soft Risk is a lightly raced 10-year-old who's never finished outside the top two and has won 5 from 7 under rules.

Jakub Menšík is an ascending player. He's ranked 16 in the world at present at 20 years old. This should be a straightforward assignment for the youngster against Jan Choinski, who has been losing to players ranked in the hundreds on hard courts recently. The Brit has won his last two matches to get here, the last of those against the world number 72, but Menšík will be a different test to those challenges.

The only way I think this won't win is if Mensik is still feeling the effects of the abdominal injury that forced him to withdraw from the Australian Open before his fourth-round matchup with Novak Djokovic. If there were still a lingering injury, I don't think he'd be risking this. He should easily account for the Brit, who is ranked over 100 places lower than him in the rankings.

If Jakub Mensik is fit for this match (he withdrew from the Australian Open in the fourth round with an abdominal injury, his third withdrawal since September), he should be far too good for Jan Choinski. The world number 16 should be able to win the first set 6-4 at worst and a similar score in the second set. Choinski is an in-and-out server and, although when he's in he hits a lot of aces, he will drop games against such a strong player. I don't see Choinski breaking Mensik's serve today. 6-2, 6-4 is a likely scoreline. I don't see this going three sets, and I don't see either set going to a tiebreak.

Break My Soul was a good winner in heavy ground on his chase debut in November at this track. He was sent off 9/2 for a Grade 2 on his next start but was beaten into fourth that day. The horses that finished in front of him, though, are all higher rated. Kala Conti won the race and has finished second in a Grade 1 since. Kargese was only beaten a neck by Romeo Coolio a couple of weeks ago. Break My Soul ran in a Grade 1 won by Romeo Coolio last time out but has his sights lowered here. Pure Steel is odds-on but was beaten a long way in a Grade 3 last time out. I think the form of the two horses is very similar, and the odds favor the McManus horse too much. This only makes the selection good value for money.

Neither of them regularly play matches that last three sets, so I'm going for Mertens to take this one in straight sets.

At the prices, I have to take on the short-priced favourite in this mares' novice chase. Queens Gamble has been beaten on both chase starts to date, finishing 3rd, beaten 6.5 lengths over 2m 4f last time out. All her best form has been over the minimum trip, though, and although she was beaten over 20 lengths on her chasing start at Bangor, that was over 2m 1.5f in soft ground and the two horses that finished in front of her are both rated 140+ over fences. The odds-on favourite today was beaten on her only try in heavy ground and is only rated 1 lb higher than the selection, running here off 133. This is a lot easier than that race at Bangor that Queens Gamble lost in, and her trainer is adept at winning these kinds of races.

He has to give that horse 3 lbs today, and if Macktoad runs like he did last time out, he won't be able to do it. But I'm forgiving him that last run; his jumping wasn't good, and he's been given seven weeks to get his act back together. Sean Bowen takes over in the saddle today, and he's probably the best jump jockey in the UK at the moment. Gary Moore has won 3 of the last 4 runnings of this race, although the favourite has won 6 of the last 7. I can see this one out-running his price.

David Pipe's horses are in decent form. He's had four winners from 10 runners over hurdles in the last two weeks. Ryan Corcoran rode three of those. He is excellent value for his 6 lb claim here. Eton Mes won last time out over a slightly shorter trip. Having not had a clear run, he stayed on well in soft ground to assert. He's only gone up 5 lb and Corcoran can claim 1 lb less this time. The horse is progressing well. This is only his second start in handicaps, and the slightly longer trip should help him improve again.
