Has been running as though three miles would suit, and so it did over fences on soft/heavy ground last time out. Reverts to hurdles at the same trip today with a sound chance.

Blue Reed could be the best of an indifferent bunch here. He brings a recent second-place effort to the table, along with some good performances on soft/heavy ground in his form. Stays further, which can also help on testing ground.

There is no getting away from Arcadian Emperor. He is competing at level weights against opponents with form that is at least half a stone poorer than his.

This is a silly price for Dirty Den, who won comfortably last time out around this distance and on quite similar ground. I don't know why the market is ignoring him.

Mask Of Zorro

-50
A seven-pound claiming jockey more than compensates for the handicapper's latest addition of 6 pounds. An opponent from the Skelton stable will be overbet. Mask Of Zorro can continue the good work and take his fifth win on the trot, and curiously at odds against.

-50
Kilworth won first time in a handicap last time out. There may be more to come. Harry Cobden replaces Sean Bowen, who rides in Scotland today. There couldn't be a better replacement. Given she stays further, I expect plenty of use will be made of the mare.
16:25 4:25 Wolverhampton
Trust Sergei
Daily Racing
25 EW
@29.00
Lose
-50
The selection has a course win over 5 furlongs and a distance win on the turf. He's a lightly raced four-year-old returning from a break. Amongst some seasoned, rather routine Class 6 handicappers, he could turn out to be just progressive enough.
16:00 4:00 Ayr
Diamond Geezer

The Jeweller's Pet is interesting, having returned to form last time out. However, Diamond Geezer, accompanied by the champion jockey, catches the eye, especially after going clear in this latest win.

@4.50
Lose
-50
I can find no form for the seven-pound claiming amateur on the likely favourite. With the Venetia Williams yard having turned a corner and the engagement of Lucy Turner in the saddle, that may be the way to go. Turner has had 18 wins over the last five seasons.

Orkney Blue

50 WINNAP
@3.75
Lose
-50
Rob Roy MacGregor may have been a famous Scottish bandit, but it seems unlikely that he will steal this from Orkney Blue despite a six-pound turnaround after a nine-length defeat. The weight difference between the two is sizeable and indicates a class difference. I doubt that weight can turn around the quality difference here.

Sean Bowen in the saddle this time, and that should lead to improvement. He probably needs to be held up on this heavy ground in order to finish strongly. Bowen is just the man to work that magic.

State Pension's sire has winning form on soft and heavy going, so we will take a chance on State Pension coping with today's conditions. His winning form some months back stands out.

Seaview Rock is the unexposed runner here and, on only his fourth start, can be expected to improve. Two excellent runs at Leicester, which is testing on soft ground, mean Newcastle with its uphill finish should suit.

Great comeback win following two years away. Needs only to come on from that run to be in the mix here. Billy Loughnane in the saddle ??" that's always a help.

Aston Villa are still in contention at the top and have home advantage, whereas Leeds have never been in contention other than perhaps for relegation.

Ross County are going to creep up the table. That will require a good result here and there. Away to Ayr appeals as a prospect.

Stenhousemuir are a difficult side to break down and a low-scoring draw may turn up here. In the long run, Inverness would maintain a lead at the top of the table and settle for that.

Zyron is interesting, but the eye is drawn to Midnight Lion, who generally runs at Newcastle but should cope with the Southwell track. He comes with the added bonus of the Goldie apprentice, Lauren Young, in the saddle. Horses do seem to run for her, and she is in fine form.

Idled on the run-in and just did enough when winning over nearly three miles on soft ground last time out. May have a bit in hand to cover the two-pound rise in the handicapper's ratings.

Wouldn't take less than 3/1 in this competitive handicap for Tigers Moon. He has been in excellent form, with two wins and three placings in his last five outings. The last run shows he remains on a reasonable mark.

A five-pound claimer has been engaged to reduce the impact of the handicapper following the selection's latest win. Twice a winner over this course and distance, but it faces two other winners last time out here. The odds are reasonable given the competitive nature of the event.

Innisfree Lass was 50 lengths behind Asa over steeplechase fences last time out but is returned to hurdling. As a previous winner of this race, she does come into the picture. However, given that Asa is also a competent hurdler, I think she has to be the percentage call here, especially at 6/4 or better.

Has been running well without winning recently. This sort of five-furlong handicap is almost a roll of the dice. The selection has a course-and-distance win. Drawn in stall one is generally deemed a disadvantage here. However, it lengthens the odds more than it should, so some value.

The Henderson stable travels a long way to Musselburgh with the odds-on favourite in the first race, but don't dismiss Lelantos as just a fellow traveller. This distance winner has a good chance of giving the stable a double.

Motherwell's flowing football would have them closer to the top but for a tendency for away draws. Aberdeen would have to improve to be merely inconsistent. Motherwell are the clear favourites.

Kilmarnock's recent improvement should still leave them a class below Celtic, who remain the bookmakers' favourites for the title and cannot afford to lose ground on the current leaders.

Hamilton have been hit with another points reduction, so their league position does not tell the full story. That is, they are better. However, Inverness are head and shoulders above almost every other team in this division ??" at the top despite starting on minus five points. Inverness will only need average fortune to claim this one, especially given the strength of their defence.

Won over nearly this marathon distance at Wincanton last time out on soft ground and by a wide margin. Up significantly in the handicap, but the distance and going should suit. The sun's out today, but the ground has taken a hammering in recent weeks. Haydock soft is still predicted, and Haydock soft can be very testing.

Jipcot went clear at Leicester (chase) and is still quite unexposed over fences, having been sent back to hurdling after initially not taking to the larger obstacles. It looks like he is more confident this time round and can improve.

Ross County are beginning to put a few half-decent results together and are now dragging themselves away from the bottom of the table. They can win here and detach themselves from Queen's Park, who will start to look doomed after today.

Nothing stands out here among the market favourites. I am inclined to side with the nine-year-old, Range, who, since returning to hurdles, has won over this distance on good ground at Sandown (uphill finish). On that day he beat a Nichols-trained runner (short head) that has since won a Class One event. Range has a heavy-ground win at Chepstow, which can be quite deep, in his history. So the going should not be an issue from good to heavy, which covers most jumping ground (good to soft is predicted for today).

Unterberg was over a length behind DaoneThatGotAway a couple of weeks ago over a mile here. The extra two furlongs are well within Unterberg's range, as he is a course-and-distance winner and has won over further in the past. His main opponent finished last time as though an extra couple of furlongs would help. However, that is "as though" and is yet to be proved. He has only won over eight furlongs in the past.
