Low draws favoured here on the soft side of good going. The selection in trap 5 is low enough, won this race last year, and has top jockey Joanna Mason in the saddle. Cloch Nua in stall one looks interesting until you spot that he is an all-weather specialist with a lot to prove on turf.

Twice a course-and-distance winner, including last time out. The locals aren't going to look elsewhere, but the amount staked on the track is unlikely to shorten the odds in modern times.

History affects these odds. The legacy of Rangers against the actual form of Hearts. Hearts at home should be evens. There's value here.

The selection has been running well at this distance and has a useful high draw today and a sounder surface. It should be competitive despite a small rise in the handicap.

High draws tend to do well over this trip at Cork. There are question marks about all those drawn higher than the selection, mainly that they are all-weather specialists. Collecting Coin returns to seven furlongs, having faltered close home when third over a mile.

Has previous experience, so should start well and grab the favoured rail. Several unknowns in the field, so I wouldn't take the odds on.

Hibernian

@+400

-50

There is no reason to currently assume that either Celtic or Rangers have much of an edge in Scotland. It would be entirely in keeping with this competitive season for Hibs to win at home against Celtic. That is the percentage call at these Anglo prices, which reflect historic bias and have limited application to the current season.

Straight mile good to firm win at Redcar last time out that looks useful with identical conditions at Newmarket today. Drawn a little higher than ideal but can overcome that.

15:00 Dundee v St Mirren

Dundee

Dundee's home advantage should be enough to carry them over the line in this contest of Premier League also-rans. Close contest, though.

These are two provincial clubs having great seasons. Motherwell are the ones to have really tested the league leaders and can show superiority here.

15:00 Inverness CT v Hamilton

-50

Inverness need one point to clinch the title, whereas Hamilton would find a point useful at the other end of the table. In the circumstances, a draw would seem the ticket.

15:00 Kilmarnock v Dundee Utd

Kilmarnock

50 WIN

@+129

Win

Kilmarnock will be motivated by the fight at the bottom of this division. Falling into the Championship brings with it an uncertain future and the prospect of longer-term decline. United are just playing for mid-table pride.

15:00 Montrose v Stenhousemuir

Montrose

50 WIN

@+379

Lose

-50

Stenhousemuir need three points and Inverness to lose at home in order to take the title. The latter is unlikely. Yet when stuffy Stenhousemuir come out of defence and go for it, they will leave themselves open. Montrose can take advantage when Stenhousemuir have to change pattern and charge.

There is a Skelton stable opponent to beat, but that serves to hold up the price for the selection, who goes for a hat-trick and looks to be improving ahead of the handicapper's assessments.

Five winners in the last week or so for the Roger Varian stable, so Distant Shore can overcome a long break and a winner's penalty. She can surely improve after the long layoff at the age of three.

This mare finished last season strongly with Group 3 and Listed success on different going. She was also beaten only half a length on her seasonal debut, so may be capable of striking first time out this season.

Up in class but seems ready to make the step after three Class Two handicap wins in the last year. Drawn quite near the inside rail and usually prominent, so could be in position to grab the rail close home. Last out, a six-furlong win over Hamilton's uphill finish suggests he could be difficult to catch if getting to the front.

The probable odds-on favourite failed on debut and now faces several likely lads, so I won't be touching odds-on. The selection comes from a stable that has already had a two-year-old winner, is drawn near the rail unlike the favourite, and is attractively priced.

Now ten pounds below his peak mark and has had a freshener, so should be ready for this. Hopefully he will take advantage of a low draw to race prominently near the rail. He should be very competitive from this mark.

Despite Liverpool having a disappointing season, they are still likely to outperform a Crystal Palace side that would, at best, need to win away from home at Liverpool.

There are a lot of question marks here ??" new trips and handicap debuts. The odds may be value for a selection that has been running as though a longer distance would suit. It also comes from the Easterby stable, which is in reasonable form, and Joanna Mason is an excellent jockey as well as their relative.

After a decent fifth place in a 21-runner field at Fairyhouse, this looks easier. The second place at Down Royal in August looks good in the context of this race, and the drying ground will assist.

Has won with an official rating of 66, but has slipped back to 53, so is looking well handicapped. Has won over the course and distance and was only beaten a neck here in January. It's a routine handicap, ripe for the taking if the selection turns up in best form.

There is a theory that it's difficult to win a National Hunt flat race under a winners' penalty. I don't subscribe to that, and I don't think the stats back that up. They return at good enough odds to be worthwhile when they do pop up.
