Two wins in National Hunt flat races but yet to thrive over hurdles. This will be the second run after a breathing operation, and that is said to be when horses extend themselves after such an event. Seems likely to improve.

Well backed, so probably progressive when winning last time out in similar conditions. Up a little in the handicap, but can account for limited opposition.

St Mirren

-50

St Mirren may have lost their manager and be on an indifferent run, but early-season form would put them in with a chance against a regularly disappointing Rangers side.

20:00 Kilmarnock v Hearts

Hearts

@-142

-50

Hearts cannot afford any slips if they are to continue to outrun the league title challengers and are heavy favourites against a Kilmarnock team having a poor season.

17:30 Arsenal v Everton

Everton

Everton are brilliantly managed by David Moyes. If withstanding early Arsenal pressure, they can work their way into this and spring a surprise.

That third place to House of Habsburg at Warwick has been stamped by the winner since. The return to two and a half miles, where this mare has been a multiple winner, is also in her favour.

Brian Hughes is a strong jockey booking, and he has a strong chance of following up a recent win over shorter. As a point-to-point winner, this extra yardage should be within his compass. He runs mainly on good to soft or sounder ground and gets that today.

-50

Very much at home over an extended three miles on a soft surface. Likes to race prominently, so we can assume she will be placed with every chance. Up five pounds in the ratings for winning last time, but a seven-pound claiming jockey more than compensates.

Somespring Special

@+3300

Lose

-50

Read a press comment about it being a tall order, as she hasn't run since October. On the other hand, some research reveals that she has won coming back from long breaks twice before. She clearly likes a sound surface as well, so she may have the beating of the heavy winter types ending their long seasons.

15:00 Celtic v Motherwell

Motherwell

50 WIN

@+400

Lose

-50

Remaining totally unconvinced by both Old Firm teams this season. The well-coached Motherwell side are thriving and will never have a better chance of winning at Parkhead.

15:00 Peterhead v Stenhousemuir

Peterhead

50 WIN

@+162

Lose

-50

Promoted Peterhead remain competitive in this league, hovering in mid-table. They do score a few and may get through against a dour Stenhousemuir side that has been giving little away all season. At the price, home advantage can do it.

15:00 Sunderland v Brighton

Sunderland

That early-season spring may have gone, but there's still plenty to like about a Sunderland side playing at home against a Brighton team that is not quite as good as it has been.

-50

Cheltenham's notoriously under-watered track this year leaves winter form on soft surfaces looking more than a little suspect. The selection won a National Hunt flat race on good ground and should improve for the additional half-mile. That's two things that may give him an edge on the handicapper.

Easier pickings here than at drying Cheltenham. The horse it beat last time out at Catterick has been out and won, which backs up that form. That is the best form on offer in this event.

Should improve enough from a debut win after a slow start to more than offset the penalty. This type of race on the all-weather is farmed by this stable. He may be at least one class ahead of the rest.

Moves up in class but deservedly so after three straight wins over fences. May run prominently, and if jumping soundly could be difficult to peg back in the straight.

First handicap run; now switched to the strong Skelton stable. Some promise shown in National Hunt flat events up to Grade Two and in a third place after running prominently on hurdle debut. The good going may also suit.

The handicapper may not have missed Caliban, and backers won't either given the strong stable and champion jockey involved. That may make Charlie's Choice much better value going for a hat-trick of wins on the all-weather.

If Jagwar is a three-miler, then why spend so long at two and a half? With a pace guaranteed and an uphill finish, go for the stable's alternative, Iroko, who has recovered from Grand National exertions and has shown good form both outings this season.

Oscar Nominee is taken to improve significantly from a debut over this course and distance and to overcome her seven-pound penalty. Take on the short-priced favourite, as its odds do not reflect its form when beaten 12 lengths on debut.

Celestial Fashion has been hit hard by the handicapper, and her run may end. Benmore's last win was in a three-runner event, so that is devalued. The selection has gradually improved with every chase run and may be the improver here.

-50

The favourite in this handicap seems very short and may not have shown much to the handicapper in maidens. That a ten-pound claimer has been engaged today perhaps suggests just that. So, at the price, he must be taken on, and last-time-out winner Ukantango is the obvious choice to oppose.

13:00 Rangers v Celtic

Difficult to split them this season, and a ninety-minute draw seems like a better bet at the odds. Whoever eventually loses may find that to their advantage in the league title chase.

Take Inverness to survive unscathed in defence as so often this season. The question then becomes how many at the other end. Three is feasible, such is the quality gap from top to bottom in this division.

Stenhousemuir

50 WIN

@+220

Lose

-50

Stenhousemuir are the only serious challenger to Inverness in this division. Their stubborn and well-organised defence tends to keep them in every match and should give them an excellent chance against a Queen of the South side with variable form. Queen of the South were particularly insipid at Inverness earlier in the season, a performance that I struggle to erase.

The likely favourite's first of three in a mares' chase doesn't stand out. The likely second favourite has finished second rather often. The other major opponent is flattered by the challenger falling at the last and leaving her to troop home to a wide-margin success. Therefore, preference is for One Last Glance, despite Sean Bowen not riding today.
