The Scottish Grand National at Ayr is just days away now with excitement building.
That will be followed by the big one at Aintree just a week later. and we'll have a live blog for both events.
But there's plenty of action before then and our man Garry Owen will be bringing you his tips every day.
A DISTANT PLACE (3.30) can extend Jonjo O'Neill's winning run in the Novibet Hurdle at Market Rasen.
The seven-year-old improved again when giving the useful Mr Grey Sky most problems at Ludlow.
That is excellent form so the gelding can take advantage of an attractive mark back over 2m 4f.
ALBERIC (4.40) can stay upwardly mobile over fences for in-form handler Phillip Hobbs.
The five-year-old can shrug off a deserved 5lb hike for hammering Eros on debut at Wincanton.
THE RAVEN'S RETURN (2.10) can swoop for thriving Chris Gordon in the opener at Wincanton.
The hurdler was a good second to Hiway One O Three on debut for his new trainer at Carlisle.
The nine-year-old should be fighting fit so he can go one better in a slightly weaker contest.
David Simcock is enjoying a decent spell so I’m backing FORGE VALLEY LAD (1.30) at Lingfield.
The in-form gelding can defy a well-earned 4lb hike for slamming Dundory at Wolverhampton.
RAINBOW MIRAGE (2.35) can repeat her decisive recent course win for shrewd Mark Rimell.
The Coral Handicap is very trappy but I’m siding with Darryll Holland's GIEWONT (3.45).
The three-year-old clearly relished tackling seven furlongs when chinning Golden Spice here.
That race is working out pretty well so this pacey type can follow up from a cracking draw.
There are also some worthwhile bets at Kempton tonight headed by ARCTICIAN (7.30).
Simon Dow’s grey was an eye-catching third to Epsrom Faithfull over seven furlongs here.
The colt remains fairly-treated on his smart juvenile form so he can triumph up in trip.
Gary Moore is in peak form so I’m on CAPRICORN PRINCE (8.00) in the Unibet Handicap.
The six-year-old ran another stormer when outpointing Induro De Fontaine at Lingfield.
That was a warm event so this consistent type can make light of a 3lb rise down in trip.
Alan King is also flying at present so I’m rowing in with LUNAR SHADOW (8:30).
The filly put in a career best when edged out by the progressive Avarice at Wolverhampton.
The four-year-old still lurks on an inviting marks so she can prevail under Tom Marquand.
