Doom Bar Maghull Novices’ Chase (Grade 1)
15:00 – Race 3 – 1M 7F 176Y
CLONDAW CASTLE (2) – 2/1
Trainer: Tom George
Jockey: Ciaran Gethings
Having belied his 33-1 odds CLONDAW CASTLE only lost out on second in the final 150 yards of the Arkle Trophy at Cheltenham, a run that confirms Tom George’s gelding is still improving. He has to turn that round with the runner-up Us And Them but on this flatter track with an easier finish he’s capable of achieving it.

Betway Handicap Chase (Grade 3)
16:20 – Race 5 – 3M 210Y
DEBECE (4) – 7/1
Trainer: Tim Vaughan
Jockey: Alan Johns
It’s hard to know what DEBECE has achieved in his last two winning starts but he could do no more than get the job done with real authority. His trainer is enjoying a fine season and looks as if he’s got the eight-year-old into this off a tempting mark. The fact that he’s a front runner will hopefully ensure he doesn’t encounter any traffic problems.
