Handicappers' nap

Local Affair (3.25 Doncaster)

Below form over course and distance on handicap debut latest, but looks nicely treated on the pick of her runs in juvenile hurdles.

Irish angle

Bella Brazil (6.30 Dundalk)

A winner and placed over seven furlongs on her last two starts, the Jessica Harrington-trained filly can give weight to her rivals.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace tipster

Phoenix Way (2.35 Huntingdon)

Extremely unexposed seven-year-old who took three attempts to get off the mark in novice hurdles. Form worked out well, though, and rating of 133 massively underestimates him.
Tom Collins

Newmarket nap

Lordofthehorizon (2.45 Lingfield)

Shaped as if this trip would suit when fifth over a mile on his debut at Newcastle and has since pleased on the Al Bahathri.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Bustaan (3.15 Lingfield)

Much improved performance last time. Step up in trip should suit and this lightly raced filly can gain a coveted first success.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Chocco Star (1.40 Lingfield)

Three of these rivals in behind when staying on strongly last time and looks well-in under a 5lb penalty.
Paul Smith
