HENRYSBROTHERJACK - 5.10 Bangor (NAP)
Winners of conditional jockeys' races don't pick up a penalty (unless in another restricted race usually), something that has been exploited by Sam Thomas whose C'Est Different seeks a hat-trick elsewhere on the card; as such, it takes the eye that HENRYSBROTHERJACK holds an entry for Sunday. A winner on his third start in handicap company, he found everything happening too quickly at Market Rasen last time when a beaten favourite but returned to more testing ground over a new trip that, as a half-brother to a three mile winner, he should relish, better is expected.
BOBBY'S NELSON - 1.33 Wincanton
BOBBY'S NELSON has presumably suffered a setback or two as he hasn't been out since finishing second to Ski Lodge in a bumper in January 2024 with the first two pulling clear of the field. The ground was heavy that day so Bobby's Nelson should have no problem coping with the forecast conditions, his yard continues in good form and Ski Lodge has won one of his two starts over hurdles to advertise the form and this does not look a strong race.
OUTER BANKS - 3.53 Wetherby
Nine of the 20 horses Stuart Edmunds has sent up the A1 have finished first or second which bodes well for the chances of OUTER BANKS on his handicap debut. He was well held on his point debut at Lingstown but the two that finished ahead of him have won Fontwell bumpers while the winner of his second start between the flags is now with Paul Nicholls. Outer Banks shaped encouragingly behind an inmate of Nicholls' on his second Rules start and although he struggled in a warm race last time, he's done enough to expect him to be competitive now handicapping over a trip he's bred to appreciate.
MASTEROFGREYGOOSE - 7.00 Kempton
The market will likely reveal plenty but Pursuit Of Truth could be a decent recruit for Kevin Philippart de Foy as an unexposed sort who is bred to be a good bit better than he's shown to date. This trip is likely to be a bare minimum for him though and preference is for MASTEROFGREYGOOSE. He has a little to prove after two slightly underwhelming runs this winter, his first starts since July, but the promise of his first two eyecatching runs here and at Chelmsford aren't forgotten and returning to this track over a trip that he's expected to relish is the time to chance him.
