-50
Stan Sheppard is at Kelso for this ride on Jimmy Hurdstrom for trainer Tom Lacey, whose horses have come to hand in recent times. This fellow by Order St George could be going a place better than his second at Wetherby. Chanonry Point is a useful mare he is taking on, but he might be edging away from her inside the final furlong.

Nicky Henderson has sent Jpyeuse over to Fairyhouse to race in this handicap off a mark of 142, which could be well within the grey mare's ability to give a solid account with soft to heavy ground being in her scope to stride out well on.

Rebecca Curtis won the Irish National yesterday and could be seeing another stable player in the shape of Andy Amo with Sean Flannagan in the saddle. Seeing a big run appearing, with the horse arriving to this race in fine fettle with two wins under his belt, the hat trick could fittingly be on.

Source Of Life from Nicky Richards' stable could be a source of substance in this class three handicap off bottom weight. The ten-year-old is not over-raced and could be well capable of showing more improvement to be making it two wins on the bounce after winning at Doncaster.

@8.50
Lose
-50
Banana is a filly who I have, sorry, mare now, that I have followed ever since her first run at Newmarket as the form of that race was working out. But she has never won a race and has been costly to follow. This is her first run in a number of years on grass, and Luke Morris might surprisingly be getting a big run out of her to hit the front and sustain the run to the line. She deserves to win a race at some point. This class six handicap does not look the strongest.

Local trainers Gary and Josh Moore won with Small Fry twice last season here. They come here once again for a chance of seeing a big run, with apprentice jockey Ashley Lewis taking off seven pounds, a big help. With the knowledge that Small Fry can act on this course well, they can keep balance to rate a danger at the finish.

I thought Queen Of Thieves ran a solid race in defeat at Newbury. With this being her first run of the season, finishing third, she should be coming on a bundle to rate a danger to the other three in this small field maiden fillies race.

Zenta, a useful hurdler, can now bring his A-game to fencing with experience and a win at Fairyhouse under his belt. Mark Walsh can have him in a prominent position to be a serious threat here.

Stressfree is meeting a couple of these from his Doncaster run, and hopefully, he can get a handle on them with a big run, appearing with Daniel Tudhope riding the perfect race.
14:10 2:10 Epsom Downs
Trinity College
Daily Racing
With Epsom Downs, you need a well-balanced horse to cope with the undulations and bank of the track. Ryan Moore and Trinity College can achieve a very good result here. Trinity College won around Galway, and with that being of similar nature, he can easily handle Epsom Downs with a strong run.
13:53 1:53 Yarmouth
Latona
Daily Racing
Kieran Shoemaker is riding with confidence, and he can signal this down to his mount Latona, who will be doing what is asked to be a solid player in this class six handicap with the drop in class paying off.

One Night Stand

-50
One Night Stand, drawn in eleven with jockey Richard Kingscote, can see them hitting the gate running and be of significant interest with his handicap mark of 82. This gives the eight-year-old substance to be a big player here, being two pounds lower than his Nottingham win back in 2021. He has won off 88 at Wolverhampton, well capable of running a solid race at rewarding odds. He was down the field in this race, and he may have missed the kick. Hopefully, he starts quickly today for a positive show.

Champion bumper form on show here from Cheltenham, and Shuttle Diplomacy, who was third, can show progress and be accountable with jockey Finian Maguire in the saddle.

John P McManus' colors on show again, and with Mark Walsh in the plate, could be finding the extra at the finish to go one better place than last year in this race. Visiting the winner's enclosure rather than the runner-up spot, with the two outings he has had putting an edge on him for a tilt at this race.

All eyes are on the Mullins and Skelton runners, and Harry Derham's Emerald Lad may be under the radar. Emerald Lad is sired by Diamond Boy, and with the stable capable of doing well in these National Hunt flat races, we could see Paul O'Brien outdoing Harry Cobden on Willie Mullins' Emerald Poet and Harry Skelton's mount Le Beau Madrik for first place prize money.

The Irish Grand National and Any Second Now, trained by Ted Walsh and ridden by Mark Walsh. The handicapper has the thirteen-year-old down on a fruitful mark of 139, which is four pounds down from his best winning mark. He was second in this race last year, and he was second to Noble Yeats at the Aintree Grand National in 2023 and in 2021 in the Grand National was third behind Minella Times. The old boy stays on well and can be showing his old legs can match any youngster's stride with a solid performance appearing, with him not having an issue with the ground. He has had two runs to put an edge on him, and the last time he had under eleven stone on his back was in the 2021 National. Exciting prospect for a big run appearing for owner John P. McManus.

Sam Twiston-Davies can have his mount once the flag has fallen into the lead and hopefully not for catching, as Inferno Sacree is a course and distance winner. It does run this course well and is Nigel Hawke's only runner here with two at Chepstow.

Wings Of A Swallow has Derby-winning blood flowing through his veins, being sired by Wings Of Eagles, and could be of significant interest in this National Hunt flat race. He may show he can act on this surface with a turn of foot. He has raced twice in point-to-points, winning his last race at Ballynoe. Donal Coffey trains and has Mr. J D Coffey, who takes off seven pounds.

Blood Destiny missed Cheltenham and Aintree, which may or may not have been on the agenda. He was last seen at Thurles, being behind Appreciate It. He does look useful, and Paul Townend has his mount pinging these fences to be in a comfortable position to finish with some effect with a big run appearing.

Bugs Moran was a useful hurdler, and now he is a hunter chaser with the potential of being useful in this sphere of racing. He arrives at this race as a point-to-point winner at Dromahane just eight days ago.

-50
Paul Nicholls and Harry Cobden, along with Wicked Thoughts, can wickedly take this race from the front like he did at Ascot, leading from start to finish. Harry Cobden has a good clock in his head, and Plumpton can play to front-running tactics paying off with the ability to kick off the bends. Wicked Thoughts can be successful once more.
15:40 3:40 Redcar
Cruyff Turn

Tim Easterby's charge is handicapped to be a serious player here. The eight-year-old acts well on good to firm ground, and a big run can be on show.

West Of Carrig
Daily Racing
West Of Carrig, a gelding by Westerner, unseated his rider Mr. A J Browne in the Foxhunter Chase at Cheltenham. This maiden race is a lot calmer, and Mr. A J Browne can stay with his mount for a successful run appearing.

Western General from the stable of Joe Tizzard has called on jockey Jack Tudor once more, who was on when Western General won at Hereford. With an indication of more to come, a hat trick could be on the agenda.

Farmer's Lodge will need to do it the hard way with top weight, plus ten pounds more to worry about. He has won his last two and looks to be progressing. With Barry Connell giving him a break, he could have him fresh and well to give a good account, knowing this son of Presenting can act on this surface.
15:05 3:05 Redcar
Media Mogul
Daily Racing
Tom Marquand has the ride for Ed Walker, whose Media Mogul won at Wolverhampton with Billy Loughnane in the plate. Tom Marquand can have his mount in the right place to carry this top weight off with distinction to bring up the second win for Media Mogul.

Luton Town need all three points from this game to keep hopes alive of not being relegated and to give themselves hope.

Coventry City have a foothold in the playoffs, and they must get all three points at Home Park today to stay in this position. Plymouth also need points on the board, being in the bottom spot.

Portsmouth won on Good Friday at Norwich 5-3. With Sheffield Wednesday away and Hull at home to come with the final game of the season, I can see the Bank Holiday gate of Fratton Park being at capacity to see Portsmouth winning this match over Watford. If Preston and Stoke come unstuck today, Pompey can move up a couple of places. Hopefully, Pompey are in goal-scoring mode for a second time, this time on home soil.

Portsmouth do have issues with conceding, but they can score goals. With Pompey playing with confidence, knowing they are free of the relegation issue they have worried about for most of the season, they could beat Watford with three or even four goals.

John Patrick Ryan trained Mount Frisco has not shown much at all in recent four runs, and this could be down to the ground being too quick for him to act on. As he has shown in a couple of races, winning once over hurdles and the same over fences, both on heavy ground, there have been numerous placed efforts, again with plenty of give in the ground. He has been second off 118, being three pounds lower here, can see him giving his best. He was second to Dutch Schultz, who ran well with second at Fairyhouse the other day. His jockey, Philip Donovan, takes off five pounds, and this light weight can see him being a player at rewarding odds.

With him being a son of Masterstroke, who won up to twelve furlongs on the flat, the line of pedigree can see this one having stamina to run well. He arrives to this race with a win at Bangor, in good form, that can see Dan Skelton reaping the reward of success in this race.

A ten-year-old who has not run for some time but could easily run well fresh. The handicapper has given him hope off a rating of 83. He has raced off 98, 96, and 88, with the three being over twenty furlongs. He is racing over two miles on yielding ground, which could read a lot softer, which makes the emphasis more on stamina. This is where we may see Better Than Heaven coming into the equation, being in the mix at the finish.
