Key races and best bets
JACOVEC CAVERN - 3.32 Wetherby
This is wide open but Irish challenger JACOVEC CAVERN looked to have the race in safe keeping until coming down at the final flight at Cork last week and is fancied to gain compensation off a still handy mark. Nicky Henderson's handicap debutant Crazierthandaisy appeals as a likely improver and could emerge as the main danger, although Book of Tales, Blue Hop and Magic Wave all need factoring into this competitive handicap too.
GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY - 3.45 Fontwell
GOOD FRIDAY FAIRY has been resurgent since the cheekpieces went on, supplementing his easy Wincanton victory with another emphatic success at Taunton 4 weeks ago. He gets the narrow vote to bring up the hat-trick in this sort of form. Royal Mer and Diplomatic Ash are others to consider, whilst Next Left isn't one to write off from an easing mark.
HORUS - 4.32 Lingfield
A competitive 3-y-o handicap with a chance taken on HORUS. A winner over 6f here in December, he hasn't been seen to very best effect in recent starts and, re-united with Sean Levey, he could represent a spot of value from a handy draw. His stablemate and C&D winner Commendation needs things to fall right but commands a second look. Early Release and Natsumi are others in with a shout, too.
KILLENAULE - 6.15 Southwell
Harry Eustace's new recruit KILLENAULE made a promising start when third at Lingfield for Ollie Sangster and can get off to the perfect start here at the chief expense of Charlie Hills's fair maiden Fosroc. Superposition could also have a say on the back of breathing surgery, with Kingmaker and An Bradan Feasa others to consider.
ELANA OSARIO - 7.30 Dundalk
ELANA OSARIO took another step forward when second in a Curragh maiden when last seen in October and can get off the mark dropped in trip on her return. Mallavelly is feared most starting out for Ger Lyons, Colugo has races in her judged on her second here 5 weeks ago.
