2m½f (New) Simon Claisse Handicap Chase (GBB Race) (Class 2) With plenty of pace and frontrunners lining up in the Simon Claisse Handicap at 13:15, there is a very strong possibility that the race will fall apart and go to a horse that likes to race off-the-pace. NOTRE PARI is…

2m4f BARONERACING.COM Drinmore Novice Chase (Grade 1) (4yo+) An incredibly high-class novice chase, where it’s hard to rule out any with confidence.

Saturday tips: Nina The Terrier (7/4), Ahoy Senor (15/8), Annsam (11/1)
2m½f (2m69y) Ladbrokes Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Elle Est Belle’s Champion Bumper third reads like top class form given recent history of the race and the fact that the fourth won easily on hurdles debut.

3m Ladbrokes Troytown Handicap Chase (Grade B) The fact that the Troytown won’t be run on a bog will suit a few of these and none other than FARCLAS, who is a 2ptswin favourite, and a confident selection here for a horse that will absolutely love the Good ground over…

1m7½f (1m7f144y) Betfair Weighed In Podcast Newton Novices’ Hurdle (Listed Race) (GBB Race) (Class 1) (4yo+) Rated 94 on the flat and 2/2 over hurdles, I think the market has underestimated IT’S GOOD TO LAUGH at 13/2.
