TEDDY BLUE jumped well enough on chasing debut at Musselburgh to suggest he can win races in this sphere and, having now slipped to a career-low mark of 121, could be a decent time to catch him. Not long with Harry Derham, the seven-year-old could have the requisite speed to see off down-in-trip Next Left and the potentially well-treated Royal King, who had some decent chase form for previous connections in France.

WEAVER'S ANSWER - 4.05 Lingfield

He's not stood up to a great deal of racing but WEAVER'S ANSWER has clearly benefitted for the application of cheekpieces and looked right back on form when runner-up at Hereford last time out in December. Far from fully exposed as a stayer, he gets another shot off the same handicap mark (95) at Lingfield and he certainly won't mind the forecast rain which could leave the ground quite testing.

MERESIDE MADNESS - 7.30 Newcastle

MERESIDE MADNESS can strike on Tyneside in the seven-furlong handicap restricted to jockeys who haven't ridden more than 30 winners in Britain over the 12 months. George Wood has ridden five over the past three days, gets the leg-up on David and Nicola Barron's horse for the first time and the chestnut has only gone up 4lb for his course and distance success earlier in the month. That looks more than fair given the fourth home has won since and there could be a bit more yet to come from this four-year-old.
