13.30 – Join Racing TV Now Maiden Hurdle – 3m1f
GOOD WORK has now finished runner-up six times in succession, so it is no surprise to see him over hurdles in which he has a great chance to finally get his head in front. He went close here two starts ago and gets weight from all rivals in the field with his riders claim taken into account, so he merits strong consideration.
Selections: GOOD WORK
14.02 – eventmasters.co.uk Mares’ Maiden Hurdle – 2m
QUEENS GAMBLE won her first two starts in bumpers at Cheltenham in emphatic fashion, including a Listed race. She then ran well in defeat conceding 4Ib to one better suited by the test of speed at Market Rasen before finishing mid-field in the Champion Bumper. She should have too many gears and class for these on her hurdles debut.
Selections: QUEENS GAMBLE
14.37 – Visit racingtv.com Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase – 2m
HERBIERS won five times over hurdles and having won at Newbury in this sphere two starts back, he ran a cracker to finish fourth in the Grade 2 Silver Trophy at Cheltenham. From a 1Ib lower mark, he should be hard to beat. A DIFFERENT KIND was last seen running really well in a big-field event at Aintree when 4th and, with the scope to make a decent chaser, he is the biggest threat to the former.
Selections: HERBIERS, A DIFFERENT KIND
15.12 – Bet At racingtv.com Handicap Hurdle – 3m1f
WIDE TO WEST has struggled under rules so far but makes his handicap debut in an unappealing event. Adam Wedge is an interesting jockey booking, so he could go well, especially with the market speaking in his favour. MY GIRL LOLLIPOP has put together two solid in-the-frame efforts the last two times and should also go well again under Bryony Frost.
Selections: WIDE TO WEST, MY GIRL LOLLIPOP

BEN BULBEN turned in a lacklustre effort at Hereford last time but is better than that and a repeat of his previous fourth would give him sound claims in this company. JACK THE FARMER left his previous form behind when a close-up third at Chepstow last time and could open his account over this longer distance, which should bring about improvement.
Selections: BEN BULBEN, JACK THE FARMER

FAIRWAY FREDDY can be an in-and-out character but he only found one too good last time and is only a pound above his last winning mark, so he’s not out of this. ROMANOR ran poorly last time but is down in grade and won three times last year, including twice in better graded events. He has a chance.
Selections: FAIRWAY FREDDY, ROMANOR
