Uttoxeter
1.50 Ballyalton and Milord are interesting contenders here, The former only raced once last season but had looked a good prospect the year before. If none the worse for his absence he would be in with a chance here. Milord ran a blinder when 4th at Cheltenham last March and looks on a fair mark. Milord gets the nod.
2.55 Dakar Run has useful form in bumpers and looks a worthy favourite. Another with form in bumpers is No No Mac who comes from an in form stable.
3.35 Le Bec could be the sort to improve over fences and is probably a little over priced at 7/1.
Fontwell
5.20 Doing Fine, a point to point winner, should give Rebecca Curtis a winner in this bumper.
5.50 Third Act did well to finish 3rd at Newton Abbot despite meeting problems in running and can get off the mark here.
Newmarket selections
2.20 Toofi
3.35 Venezia

2.20 Dispour, a winner on the flat in France, was an expensive purchase and will be expected to get off to a winning start over timber here. An interesting newcomer to the jumping game but his price is likely to be on the skinny side.
4.50 Points winner Cloud Brook might be good enough here.
