Ascot
12.20 Fly du Charmil and Semper Invicta look the pair to concentrate on.
1.55 I will stick with Yanworth here although the Nicholls runner could be a danger.
2.30 Le Mercurey looks a useful prospect over fences.
3.40 Quite a hot race this. My selection is Burlington Bert but there are plenty of dangers, notably Full Irish and Monbeg Charmer
Newbury
12.10 I will take a chance on Clan Des Obeaux, winner of a bumper in the French provinces.
1.15 Wait for Me looks a worthy favourite.
2.25 A case could be made for any of these 4. Arpege D’Alene could have more scope for improvement than his rivals.

Not a bad haul today with 4 winners coming from 6 selections.
There is some excellent racing tomorrow and I will start my preview at Cheltenham.
There are only 6 runners in the opener at 12.00 but none of them can be written off. Vicente represents Paul Nicholls and comes here on the back of a course win last time out. He was not always fluent over his fences on that occasion. Blaklion was going well in the same race when falling 3 out.
Onenightinvienna won at Exeter beating Fletchers Flyer by 1.5 lengths. The runner up is 5 lbs better off in this. Then track and the going should suit Onenightinvienna while Fletchers Flyer acts in the mud but won his bumper on good going.
Minella Rocco won a bumper and twice over hurdles but was last of 3 on his chase debut when an odds on shot. He was not beaten far however and remains a promising sort. He has only run on soft going so far. In the same race at Haydock Private Malone finished a close second. This really is an open race but if pushed for a selection it would be Minella Rocco.
1.10 A Hare Breath was a well backed winner here on his last outing and can go in again.
1.45 Knock House, The Druids Nephew and Sausalito Sunrise form my short list. How about; 1. Sausalito Sunriose 2. Knock House 3. The Druids Nephew.
2.55 Zeroshadesofgrey has an each way chance.
3.25 Drumlee Sunset can gain compensation for his slip up here last time.
Bangor
12.20 Vyta Du Roc
Doncaster
11.40 Lord Wishes
1.55 Desert Joe
3.30 Balmusette (each way)
Newcastle
12.20 Cracked Rear View won a Sligo Bumper and before that ran second in a point to Point the form of which has worked out well. He has been out of action for a while but could be one to follow over hurdles.
3.20 Betameche
Taunton
12.40 The consistent Theatre Goer has an each way chance.
2.10 Rebel Benefit could be well handicapped.
