With slow starters either side, Yahoo Mareike, with her early pace, can win comfortably. This is the easiest open race she's contested of late. Her best time of 23.89 on the 6th of March is some way clear of these.
19:45 PSG v Toulouse
PSG

@-344
Win

In what's becoming a two-horse race, PSG can see off mid-table Toulouse. PSG have conceded the fewest goals of any side this season, just 22. The rare defeat, conceding 3 against Monaco recently, was their only defeat in six in all competitions. Toulouse have nothing to play for, are safely mid-table, and are not prolific scorers on their travels, scoring 17 and conceding 15. PSG scored 31 at home, with the best home record, defensively conceding just 7.

I envisaged EMIT being odds on. Only out of the first two in six starts once. His placed efforts in Group 2 and Group 3 company would be good enough to take this. Gelded since last run. I envisaged odds on, so I think he offers a bit of value at the current prices.

Beylerbeyi has been aimed at this race. Although winless in his last three, he has posted 3, 2, 2 on firm ground. All of those three races came over inadequate trips. Today's distance is perfect. Draw and pace are positive. Billy Loughnane retains the ride.

A fantastic renewal. Although it would appear on paper to be his second string, STORM STAR is not without a chance at 4 times the price of the second favourite. He won this race last year as 5/2 favourite. There have been several reasons for his two recent poor showings, but everything could be aligned in 48 hours with a good draw and pace angle in the race. His season is geared around this race. He was as big as 20/1 earlier.

Stanley similar to Gills ??" nothing to play for. Crewe are in the play-off places and had two decent wins against Oldham and Shrewsbury. Accrington have lost their last three by nil and are winless in their last six: four defeats and two draws.
15:00 Barnet v Bromley
Bromley
50 WIN
@+240
Lose
-50
First meets twelfth ??" some 19 points separating them. Bromley lost to Barrow last week, ending a 27-match unbeaten run. I fully expect them to get back on track this afternoon at around 5/2. Bromley have won more away games than Barnet have at home this season. I just feel that with the defeat last week the visitors will bounce back. Such a long unbeaten run brings pressures of its own. That monkey off their back can help them get back to playing with their usual freedom. They should certainly be nowhere near this price. They won the reverse fixture 2-0.
15:00 Birmingham v Blackburn
Birmingham
50 WIN

Both sides' seasons are effectively over, with league status secure. The Blues started well but have been lacking consistency. Both sides are in poor form, with just one win each in their last six. But with St Andrew's mobile behind them, I'm backing them to win in a low-scoring affair.

Grimsby are a point outside the play-off places. They come into this on the back of four wins out of their last six, with just one defeat. They face a doomed Harrogate side that look like they could go down if they maintain current form. Harrogate have lost four, including the last two of their last six fixtures.

On a weekend full of surprises, MK Dons lost to Salford following a defeat at home to Barnet that ended a five-game winning run. But they should get back on track this afternoon against a Barrow side who themselves caused a shock at home to league leaders Bromley last week, after being on a winless run of seven. Barrow have only won four away games all season. Strength in depth of the hosts should see them ease past the visitors.
15:00 Norwich v Portsmouth
Norwich

Pompey look in serious trouble, one point above the relegation places without a win in six, coming off the back of a 6??"1 thrashing by QPR. The Canaries have a number of injury concerns but a strong attacking line-up who could have a field day against a side who've only won four away fixtures all season. Evens looks quite generous.
15:00 Oxford Utd v Hull
Hull

@+200

The Tigers seem to play better on their travels. They can nick all three points at Oxford this afternoon at a tasty 2/1. Oxford have improved of late but, like the visitors, have a lengthening injury list. But at 2/1 these odds look too big. The Tigers won the recent fixture between these two 3-2.
15:00 QPR v Watford
QPR

It's difficult to know which QPR side will turn up. The one that, four on the bounce, conceded 12 and scored none, or the one that won its last two 6-1 and 3-1. Watford are incredibly inconsistent themselves, with just two wins in their last six. At the prices, I feel the value lies with the hosts to reverse the form of their 2-1 defeat back in August. I envisaged nearer 11/10.
15:00 Walsall v Gillingham

Walsall are still in with a strong chance of securing a playoff spot despite all their inconsistency. They meet a Gills side already relegated, who have lost ten of their last 13 fixtures and come into this on the back of five straight defeats. Yes, they are 4/5, but I had them down at 1/2 shots for the win, so I feel we are getting value.

The Baggies have a fighting chance of avoiding the drop, but they are ludicrously short for the visit of Wrexham. The Welsh side are fighting for a play-off place. They look stronger both in attack and defence. At 5/2 is bigger than the envisaged 6/4 I anticipated.

Boro should be refreshed after a fortnight's hiatus and can ease supporters' fears about their recent wobble in the race for automatic promotion. The Lions have been the surprise package this season, but backing Boro to win looks stronger. They are stronger in front of goal and are at home.

Early doors in the new season, and I'm expecting good things from Durham. The weather looks set fair for the four days. Their strength in depth in bowling and batting is superior to Kent, who have a number of injuries and have to start this season with an 8-point deficit. Quite frankly, I think they will struggle big time this season. Durham had a decent pre-season; batters look in great nick.

Having finally got the monkey off his back by beating Clayton for his first win in his debut season in this format on Night 8, 6-3, and seeing as Clayton was in the form of his life, this would have done Rocky's confidence the world of good. He looks value at 5/4 to progress on Night 8. Although we are some six days away, I cannot envisage his price getting bigger; if anything it will shorten.

The Butler stable are enjoying a decent spell of late. SOLANNA looked to have benefited from a first run in 8 weeks when overcoming a pace bias at Kempton two weeks ago. The two-pound rise looks lenient. Incredibly, run 50 times, but this is his first try around here. He's incredibly consistent: 47 runs which brought about 9 wins, 6 runner-up efforts and 6 third places. I envisaged him being considerably shorter and not an each-way price.

Cool Hand meets The Iceman. Although Humphries recently won the Belgium Open, he's struggled for consistency in this year's PL, which is a slight concern. But at some point it will click. Someone will be on a hiding; hopefully it'll be Price. Think 4/5 is a fair price against an opponent he performs well against, who has been lacking consistency himself week in, week out in this season's PL. Humphries' ability to score heavily, if he can improve his double stats, will make him a tough nut to crack.

This Ballymac Cashel dog splits his time between 480m and sprint trips (3 wins, 7 races). He has excellent early pace and should lead these up.

Mighty Mike, following well-documented health and personal issues off the circuit, is looking more like his old formidable self. He lost 6-4 in last week's final to "The Nuke" and has a pretty decent record against Bunting. At 4/6 I can only see his odds shortening between now and Night 8, especially if he goes deep into the Players Championship on Monday.

13 runners and 4 places on offer. TKM is good value for his 5-pound claim. LETS GO HUGO has been dropped two pounds for his seasonal return, 4th of 8 at Newcastle three weeks ago against a few of these. Ran a strange last time, keeping on but not able to get into contention, beaten 3 and 3¼ lengths. He needs a strong pace to show his best. He should get that here and could well pick up the pieces off a pace collapse. Weighted to reverse form with Little Mi Mi and Fortunate Star. There was significant support for him pre-race last time. At the prices, splitting stakes between him and Isla Bella may be beneficial.

Well-known connections in the gambling world. Any money for this Paul Nicholls runner should be noted. No match for the winner in his point-to-point at Turtulla over 3 miles back in November when beaten 3 lengths. Subsequently sold for a not insignificant 200,000 guineas. This trip and better going are much more suitable at this stage of his career. He's not a great price (in view of connections it's not at all surprising). But he makes the journey from Ditcheat, and Nicholls has a decent record in bumpers here ??" 13 winners from 35 runners. Of those that have run, the standard is not exactly high.

Andrew Bsldings' runners appear quite forward at this early stage of the season. Therefore marginally bigger prices out there for ZERIYA. This Too Darn Hot filly is most expensive of these at 480,000 guineas. On breeding she's exceptionally well related. It would be a disappointment if she were not able to take this. 5/4 is bigger than I envisaged. Of those with experience, they have the latter edge but have not exactly got the pulse racing.

I'll be honest, this was not going to be a race I'd get involved in. But I've been given this to back. On digging deeper into his profile: well bred and suited by the conditions today. Prior to last run he was second behind a decent horse when held up and won from the front next time at Carlisle. He ran too badly to be true at Uttoxeter last time, eventually being pulled up when supported in the ring. Stewards enquired as to the poor showing post-race, but the trainer had no explanation. There is substance to his form. He's shown ability and certainly has scope for improvement, this lightly raced individual (6 starts: 2 wins and 2 runner-up efforts). With 4 places up for grabs, I am happy to include him in the second leg of a jumps treble to small stakes each-way at the price. STD takes over from Gavin Sheehan.

Ignore Chektemhsm's run after a poor start and running out of the handicap. Proven course form and the ground are perfect. Along with being right in the weights, he looks nailed on to be placed.

EXPERT AGENT is interesting. Certainly handicapped to win currently. All-Weather form reads: 21 starts, 3 wins and three thirds. But he is dropping in class tonight. There have been nibbles for him early doors, which is significant for a yard that does well with this type of horse. Entitled to come on for the run last month following a 5-week layoff. Third leg of today's each-way treble. Won off marks of 69/77/82 on the AW. Interestingly, those 3 wins came in the spring months.

There's very little separating these five runners on the clock. But I'm taking the bitch in Trap 1 to enhance her one-in-four strike rate. Moyar Princess has, with five rail seeds drawn, the plum box in red. She's been meeting trouble of late, but with slow starters in 2 and 3 both going middle, she should??"granted her usual break??"get a solo clear run on the inner. Therein lies her chance. Her win in this grade on 25th March saw her overcome quite serious trouble at several stages before finishing to good effect. The grader has generously kept her in this grade. I envisaged much shorter odds at around 6/4??"7/4; she looks a good thing here at a generous-looking price.

Not the deepest of Class 5 handicaps and Magical Merlin, under 5 lb claimer Millie Wonacott, if forward enough may figure, although 0-3 on the AW. He has better form on turf with 21 starts producing 2 wins, 6 seconds and 3 thirds. But this is his first time in 0-70 company. Slight concern this may be a pipe-opener for a turf campaign. As I envisaged around 7/1, I cannot let him go unsupported at three times that price dropping in class.

Interesting contest. I think CAMPAIGN TRAIL has a good each-way chance in this. He's only had six career starts, producing one win and two third-place finishes. He's lightly raced, with room for improvement in this discipline. He was eighth on his seasonal return and followed that up with a fourth at Market Rasen, where he was entitled to need the run after being off fourth months. He's been placed third and fourth off a mark a pound higher in two of his last three starts. He was ridden quite aggressively up front last month despite making a couple of novice mistakes, only beaten after the last when going down six and a half lengths. He has come in for support since opening show last night, which is interesting in itself for this yard.
