Aintree

2.00 Garde La Victoire is a possible here with connections looking to get another hurdles win before the horse goes chasing. I will take a chance on Katgary though as I feel he may be well handicapped.

3.00 Rajdhani Expreess will do for me here. Trip and ground look right and the horse may have some improvement in him.

4.15 Parish Business won at Chepstow and could go in again.

4.50 Sergeant Mattie is another recent winner that can follow up.

5.25 Days of Heaven was second in a bumper at Taunton last season. Looks the sort to improve.

Chepstow

2.25 Sausolito Sunrise should win this.

3.35 I am torn between Son du Berlais and Blaklion here with a slight preference for the latter.

4.10 Boondooma, Vieux Lion Rouge and Regal Encore make up my short list. I will just give preference to Regal Encore.

Exeter

2.40 Tricky one this. I am inclined to go for the French bumper winner Alcala who looks like a horse with potential improvement. He is the selection with the Philip Hobbs trained Hello George likely to be the main danger.

3.10 Puffin Billy returns to the racecourse after he nearly died from colic. He is an interesting recruit to the novice chasing ranks.

Cheltenham

2.00 Five times points winner Bally Beaufort is a solid stayer, seems to handle any ground and represents a stable that does well at this time of year.

2.35 Ackertac does well at this track and looks on a reasonable mark.

5.30 How About It is a point to point winner in Ireland and is well regarded by connections.
