Ferrous is shaping like an improver after a useful fourth when resuming. With the benefit of that run under his belt, Tom Marquand could be steering this one to victory.

Has a decent-sized field to contend with here and might need some fortune in the running. But up to its best, it would go close to winning this.

Karma Police

Three minor placings from the last four appearances, and has now had three runs under the belt to get fit for this. That should mean approaching peak form now. A win would be no great surprise.

Seventy

There was a lot to like about Seventy’s last-start win. It looked like there may still be improvement for this assignment, so a repeat might well be on the cards here.

Bluff looks like a promising sort in a reasonably open lineup and looks likely to come in for solid support. Should work into this nicely late from the draw.

Brown Boots is likely to start favourite after that good last-start win, but I am a bit surprised he is so short in a field as open as this. He should be right in the firing line at the business end on what he did to win, though.

A generally consistent horse who does not win out of turn but did so last time in good enough fashion to suggest a repeat may be on the cards this time of asking too. The thing I like about him in this field is that his record on testing ground betters the others in this lineup.

Trainer Ray Hackett has Donnrua Dream going along well enough to threaten here. He has had two runs in deep ground, with a win at Limerick last time out and a useful sixth in his other run in testing conditions. That should be good enough for him to make his presence strongly felt again.

Lady Aquarelle for the upset here. Both rider and trainer have better-than-average records in hurdle events, and this is a fairly wide-open maiden field boasting a lot of inexperienced horses. Anything can happen. It only takes one mistake by the favourites to change the complexion of things, and recent racing suggests some improvement might be forthcoming.

The penny may finally be dropping over the bigger fences for Gino Du Mathan, as his last two runs have been more genuine than his earlier attempts. At eight years of age he's finally looking as if he might be up for an upset here. His last two runs have had “improver” written all over them. Underrated jockey in the pigskin too.

In-form horse with an in-form trainer and in-form jockey. What more could you want, well apart from maybe 1.80 for the odds on your ticket, but you can't have everything in racing. A good win will do, and hopefully the 'small fish are sweet' adage rings true with this horse obliging with a plum ride from Sean Bowen.

The betting line tells the tale here and is possibly a bit shorter than I would have imagined, but it's still 11% interest (if it wins, that is). Oh, wouldn't a crystal ball be handy when they have all those fences in front of them? Looks the form horse and has conditions more to his liking than this lot, you'd think.

Cam Hardie and Antony Brittain combine here with a promising enough type in Sports Coach. Most will write him out of calculations in a fresh state based on his earlier performances in this state, but his last two when produced first-up have seen him within three lengths of the winner. At the odds, he could be the giant killer.

Stanley Spencer

Stanley Spencer needed the first two runs. With a record of 50% top-three placings (18 starts, 4 wins and 5 minors), he is a horse with some promise. Hector Crouch knows the horse well and should give him every chance.
17:00 4:58 Southwell
Asian Journey

Up in class admittedly, but significantly down in weight and that could make all the difference. Class 6 placings have been solid enough to suggest the reduction might spark that extra bit to get over the line.

Caykur R to win this by 3-2. They've won twice as many matches as their away rivals here (8 to 4 respectively), but they just look a better side all round. Having said that, 8 wins from 22 matches doesn't mean to say that a side trying its best to improve from further down the table couldn't slot a couple in if it's a very willing, free-flowing encounter.

None of these have raced on this type of deep ground in their previous runs, so it's a bit hard to line them up. However, Game Colours has the consistency on softer tracks to recommend, and with the services of top jockey Sam Twiston-Davies should go close.

Cherno More should be putting a good, wide smile on the home fans' dial here against a side that has been found wanting recently at this level. I'm going for a consolation goal by the visitors while being outclassed 3-1.

Geylang International look the better side and even away from home they should be too good for the home side. I'm thinking they will both spark up and it could be a goalfest, with one for the home side and three for the visitors.
10:34 10:34 Pau
Texas Wood
Daily Racing
Early betting markets have the stablemate as the likely favourite, but this is the horse that should be backed on form. He has won his last two at the trip on the track. Even given the obvious rise in class, he has looked strong finishing off over 2000m, as against the stablemate who, by comparison, did not finish off as well after leading last time out over this trip. The jockey has ridden them both and probably had the pick of the rides, which could be a tip in itself. Outstanding strike rates for both trainer and jockey augur well for the hat-trick to become a reality.

Taradif goes up in distance here to 1400 m and this will suit. From a top stable with a 20% strike rate, he is second-up from a spell. I think the fact that this son of Lope de Vega has been gelded since his third start, which was his all-weather track debut, could make a big difference to his performance this time of asking.

Brentford Hope is prepared by a very astute horseman in Harry Derham, who had his first winner at the end of 2022. Since then he's gone on to produce an impressive strike rate of 22%. Megan Fox, who had her first winner in January of the following year, has notched a 15% strike rate with 8 wins and 13 placings from just 52 career rides. The combination looks the one to beat, with a horse who has all the breeding to handle heavy ground, even though he has never raced on the surface to date.

You're only going to get a win dividend here, but hopefully that's all you'll require with this last-start winner looking likely to repeat. He has the accomplished Freddie Gingell in the saddle and comes from the very accomplished Paul Nicholls' yard. Bred on a German-sire and French-mare cross, Mon Champion looks ready to record the third win of his 13-start career.

The apprentices are out in force here in this handicap event. I'm picking Harry Vigors in combination with the useful Rising Force. A previous victor on the all??'weather surface on offer here, Rising Force looks the one to beat for my money. The second at Kempton Park at his last outing followed a game win here, and that all points to a forward showing again for a horse who has needed and improved with recent racing.

Carbine Harvester comes in fresh here after some good efforts late last year. With the experience of Cieren Fallon in the saddle, he looks an each-way upset chance. He has the trip to suit and is from the grand William Haggas yard. With a record of four wins and three places from 15 career starts, he obviously has above-average ability. He's had five starts on the standard/slow surface for two wins and two places, so that also augurs well for a forward showing in his comeback.

Lucky Bere teams up with Harry Cobden here, and Cobden will need all of his skills to get the horse home at useful odds. There's a lot to like about this promising 5-y-o, who has won three and managed seven placings from 17 starts to date ??" so he's as honest as the day is long. He needed two runs under his belt to get his groove on and win handily at Wincanton last time out, scoring by 3.3 lengths. That sort of form, if repeated, would be good enough to have him figure prominently again if he does everything right. My only real cause for pause is the weights: he's up 3 kilograms from the last start win, and while he carries top weight here ??" and there's five kilograms between him and the lightweight in the field ??" in his last run at Wincanton he was one of the lighter-weighted horses. So with the rise in class that could be a factor for him late, but he should have taken benefit from that win, and with that onside he still looks a major hope.

Two unanswered goals from Manchester United to keep them moving up the table is what I see in the crystal ball (as opposed to Palace) here, while West Ham's fans go home with their tails between their legs. Of course anything is possible in this game, which is what makes it so special for so many home fans when hosting a major club. The prospect that they might go home with a big smile on their dial instead is what makes it exciting.
19:45 Boston Utd v Gateshead
Boston Utd
Boston remain undefeated at home against Gateshead, who languish at the bottom of the league with only five wins from 27 starts this season. It's hard to get enthused about the visitors given Boston's dominance over them, winning three of the last four meetings. Gateshead's only win came early in the 2024??"25 season. Boston have scored three goals in each of their last two visits to Gateshead, and this time they have the home advantage as further impetus.
19:45 Hemel Hempstead v Hampton & Richmond
Hemel Hempstead
Hemel Hempstead are looking to win their third match from four games they've played against Hampton & Richmond in the last two years. They've won the last two. Unusually, the only time they lost was when they played at home and they got thumped 4-0 by H&R. I'm picking, given current form, they may want to turn that bad stat around and they should get their wish this time of asking.
19:45 Kidderminster v Merthyr Town
Kidderminster
Kidderminster have an enviable home track record, winning five of their last six outings at home, while the away record for Merthyr Town is 50%. They've only played once when Kidderminster were away to them and walked away with a well-earned but tough 1-0 win. A rare meeting between the sides, but I'm leaning toward the obvious home advantage getting Kidderminster home.
19:45 Solihull Moors v Eastleigh
Draw
Historically, these two sides have had tight encounters, and I think Eastleigh are at overs against a tough rival in Solihull Moors. Solihull Moors have failed to beat them in their last three encounters and yet are strong favourites to win at home. They lost 1-0 to Eastleigh the last time they played on their home turf, so I'm thinking this could end in a draw at good odds, as Eastleigh will be very keen to keep that unbeaten record intact.
