13.43 Racing Foundation Supports The NHC EBF Maiden Stakes

OR ANOTHER, BLACK CUILLIN and SPECTACULAR DIVER are all making their debuts and it is hard to pick one out, so to make sure we get through the first race, I’ll include each! INNICHEN has the experience to draw upon though and must be feared.

Tips: OR ANOTHER, INNICHEN, BLACK CUILLIN & SPECTACULAR DIVER

14.13 Sir Peter OSullevan Charitable Trust Supports NHC EBF Novice Stakes

INFRAAD has shaped well on both starts despite returning as a beaten favourite last time out and represents a yard that does well at this venue. It would come as no surprise to see ASIA FORCE go close though, as he’s only found one too good on each of his starts.

Tips: INFRAAD & ASIA FORCE

14.46 NARS Supports The National Horseracing College Handicap

JOJO RABBIT wasn’t at his best at Wolverhampton last time out but had won quite easily at this course on his penultimate outing and a repeat would be enough to see him go very well. ROCK OF ENGLAND got back to winning ways at Newcastle when last seen and should also be competitive.

Tips: ROCK OF ENGLAND & JOJO RABBIT

15.23 Tuffa Boots Supports The National Horseracing College Handicap

GARDEN OASIS seems like a massive price. He is probably past his best now but he’s a tough horse to get past when in the mood and his last win came over C&D off a 5lb higher mark. I can see him going well, while WALSINGHAM is a dual winner over track and trip and should be ready to make a serious impact following a good third at Ripon on his reappearance.

Tips: GARDEN OASIS & WALSINGHAM

15.58 HBLB Supports The National Horseracing College Handicap

THE GOOD BISCUIT came very close to making it three wins on the spin when a narrow third at Catterick when last seen and this C&D winner must be feared off the same mark. MODERN TIMES shaped encouragingly when fifth of 16 on his return at Ripon and looks to have leading claims with that run under his belt.

Tips: THE GOOD BISCUIT & MODERN TIMES

16.33 Chadwick Lawrence Supports National Horseracing College Handicap

LIGHTENING COMPANY was well on top at the finish when scoring here last time out and is the one to beat on that piece of form. However, BEARWITH is probably the biggest danger on the back of a good second at Nottingham and is played as cover.

Tips: LIGHTENING COMPANY & BEARWITH
