Carlisle
12.50 Avenging Ace showed good from in a couple of Irish point to points and could make a winning rules debut here. The danger could be Brokethegate who was 3rd at Wetherby recently.
1.20 Course and distance winner Frascati Park looks to have solid claims in this one.
2.25 Glenwood Knight has always looked the type to make a good staying chaser but he fell on both his last two starts last season. He is worth sticking with as a horse to follow.
3.00 Bogside won twice at Kelso last season and is a long term chasing prospect. He was pulled up on his last start but this is an easier race and he could run well at a big price.
Leicester
3.45 Castlerock is lightly raced and may be ahead of the handicapper.
Navan
12.15 His Excellency has the best form on show and if he puts hios nest hoof forward he should win. Bat Masterton beat His Excellency on the flat at Roscommon in August, albeit getting over a stone, and looks the main danger.
12.45 Mount Benbulben, Jetson, Make a Track and Texas Jack are all worth considering. Narrow preference is for Mount Benbulben.
1.15 Lochan Lacha will handle the ground and is 2 from 3 when ridden by Ruby Walsh.
1.50 Globalised should come on for his debut run at Fairyhouse last month.
2.20 Prince de Beauchene and Stonemaster are my two against the field.
2.50 This looks to be between Flemenstar and Nearest the Pin. It is difficult to separate the pair on what they have done so far but if pushed I would go for Flemenstar.
Wexford
2.30 The front running Stephanie Kate will be hard to beat based on her second to First Lieutenant at Cork last time out.
Turf trivia
The 2.20 at Navan is named after the 1920 Grand National winner, Troytown. He had earlier won the French Grand National at Auteil but shortly after his Aintree triumph he was killed attempting to repeat his earlier win in the big French steeplechase.
