TWOSHOTSOFTEQUILA (5.20 ) looks very potent in the Virgin Bet Handicap Hurdle at Doncaster.
Rebecca Menzies’ horse improved again when chinned by the well-treated Hajey at Sedgefield.
The gelding remains nicely unexposed over 2m 4f so he can go one better for his in-form trainer.
FIVEANDTWENTY (2.30) can maintain Donald McCain’s tremendous run in the two-miler.
The hurdler can score with a repeat of her cracking second to Socialist Agenda at Musselburgh.
Dan Skelton excels here so I’m on ACROSS THE LINE (3.40) in the Virgin Bet Handicap Chase.
The gelding put in another excellent shift when second to the classy Elixir De Nutz at Kempton.
The seven-year-old was staying-on well over 2m 2f so he can shade a trappy contest up in trip.
SHEARER (1.45) can score for Paul Nicholls - gearing up for Cheltenham and Aintree - in the opening conditionals’ hurdle at Newbury.
The gelding is open to progress after going down narrowly to the useful Triple Trade at Lingfield.
PEKING ROSE (3.3) ) can blossom for Fergal O’Brien in a fascinating novices’ hurdle.
The gelding improved again when chasing home Lac De Constance in Listed company at Exeter.
The seven-year-old was doing all his best work late so he can resume winning ways over 2m 5f.
COEUR DE LION (4.05) can roar for Alan King in the tricky BetVictor Handicap Hurdle.
The nine-year-old bounced back when a good second to The Brimming Water over track and trip.
The gelding remains well-treated on his peak form so he can gain compensation dropped in class.
Ray Craggs is hitting form so I’m backing KHABIB (6.15) in the Betway Handicap at Newcastle.
The four-year-old got back on track when cosily defeating Tathmeen over course and distance.
The speedster still lurks on an inviting all-weather mark so he follow up in this stronger contest.
GLORIOUS CHARMER (7.15) can build on his game Wolverhampton win for Michael Herrington.
Lucinda Russell’s BALLYARE (7.45 ) is well worth punting in the closing sprint handicap.
The five-year-old ran another stormer when second to Asadjumeirah in hotter company here.
That was a clear career best so the gelding can bag a well-deserved win in these calmer waters.
