Handicappers' nap

Eden Du Houx (1.50 Chepstow)

Dual bumper winner who has shaped well on both starts over hurdles and should prove hard to beat.

Newmarket nap

El Ghazwani (3.15 Lingfield)

Fancied to record a fifth course-and-distance success after a convincing win here last month. Hugo Palmer's runner has since moved well on Warren Hill.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Dana Forever (2.45 Lingfield)

Expected to get off the mark at the sixth attempt after racing keenly and being caught wide last time.

West Country nap

Eden Du Houx (1.50 Chepstow)

Has undergone wind surgery since his last run and connections are hopeful he can open his account over hurdles.
Andrew King

Irish angle

Captainofthebounty (7.30 Dundalk)

Joseph O'Brien's runner was fourth over 7f at the track last time and should improve for the step up to a mile.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace tipster

Air Navigator (4.00 Chepstow)

Travelled strongly when third to Worthy Farm over 3m1f last time and holds leading claims if seeing this trip out.
Keith Melrose

Speed figures

Matewan (4.15 Newcastle)

Has found one too good in his last four starts but recorded a personal best last week and would not be winning out of turn.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Pola Chance (4.10 Catterick)

Showed improved form to beat her elders at Wetherby eight days ago and should be hard to beat under a 7lb penalty.
Ben Hutton

Dark horse

Michele Strogoff (3.15 Lingfield)

Well handicapped and offered encouragement on his comeback at Kempton last week. A first-time visor may sharpen him up and he could be hard to peg back.
Dave Revers

Must-have stat of the day

Martin Keighley is 5-15 at Catterick over the last five seasons, improving to 5-8 with runners that were sent off at 11-2 or shorter (+£12.58 to £1 level stakes.) Reve is 2-2 at the track and can improve his trainer's impressive course record at 2.35.
