KELCE - 1.30 Market Rasen (NAP)

They all hold some sort of chance in this four-runner novices' handicap chase but KELCE has plenty going for him. He's had a couple of starts over fences now and has clearly benefited from the switch, together with the addition of cheekpieces. He came nicely clear of the third when runner-up at Hexham last week and even though he's forced to run off a mark of 102 in this company, he's still effectively 1lb ahead of the assessor on the back of that improved display. Good ground seems to suit well and he'll be a hard horse to pass if getting into a rhythm out in front under Sean Bowen.

PHOENIX RISEN - 1.05 Taunton

PHOENIX RISEN could be worth chancing in the conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle at Taunton. He's saved most of his better efforts for this venue over the past couple of years, winning twice over course and distance in April 2023, and he's back on a mark 4lb lower than when last successful. That's largely down to being out of sorts when last seen in the summer but the break is entitled to have done some good and his trainer Jeremy Scott was 4-20 at this venue during the 2023-24 campaign, registering a level-stakes profit of +8.50.

RESPIRO SOLITARIO - 6.30 Chelmsford

Live betting powered by

Flaine will be popular here but a lot went right for her on stable debut at Southwell earlier in the month and this looks a tougher assignment racing off 5lb higher from stall eight of 11. Housed down on the inside, RESPIRO SOLITARIO looks the one to be on after his better effort when fitted with a tongue-tie (retained) at Wolverhampton last time out. The assessor has eased him another couple of pounds and the drop from a 0-65 handicap to a 0-55 could be enough to yield a first career success for the son of Bated Breath.
