Cheltenham
1.15 This looks to be between Fingal Bay and Dynaste, both exciting chasing prospects. Although he is conceding weight to his rival the fact that Fingal Bay has already run over fences may just give him the edge.
1.50 Astracad has a fair bit going for him. He is a course winner, a distance winner, he goes well fresh and he is on a fair mark.
2.25 Recent winners Dodging Bullets and Tominator command plenty of respect here but at the odds I will select hurdles newcomer River Maigue. He boasts some smart bumper form including a success at Ayr in April.
Newcastle
12.20 Eduard, narrowly beaten over course and distance on his last start can make amends here.
3.45 Liberty Court won on his only start between the flags and should go well.
