Lingfield Best Bet
Race 5: CHYNNA (6)
Trainer: Mick Channon – Jockey: Callum Shepherd
Placed in Pattern company and netting black type on more than one occasion in her juvenile season, the only filly in the day’s feature can take full advantage getting the 5lb sex allowance from her five opponents. Her second of two pieces of work on the woodchip under Shepherd at West Ilsley this week suggests she is ready for this switch to the Polytrack.

Doncaster Best Bet
Race 4: ROCKY’S TREASURE (1)
Trainer: Kim Bailey – Jockey: David Bass
The day’s feature has cut up in favour of the top weight who is unbeaten over hurdles and fences here. I think it’s best to forget his defeat at Warwick last time and concentrate on the way he pulverised his foes in a Grade 2 on his previous outing on the Town Moor. Furthermore the quicker ground will not inconvenience him.

Kelso Best Bet
Race 4: ROUGE VIF (4)
Trainer: Harry Whittington – Jockey: Gavin Sheehan
A deserved jump up the class ladder for ROUGE VIF who exceeded his trainer’s expectations when following up a fine second at Kempton on Boxing Day with a clear cut triumph at Newcastle. A bruised foot ruled him out of a Cheltenham trial at Kempton a week ago but it was a superficial setback and Whittington describes the 5yo as being “in fantastic form”.

Navan Best Bet
Race 2: CARAVATION (1)
Trainer: J. P. Dempsey – Jockey: L. P. Dempsey
Ultra consistent 6yo who was turned over when odds on in a better race at Fairyhouse last time makes abundant appeal as this shouldn’t take much winning. Similar front running tactics can work better for the mare as she drops back to two miles from two and a quarter.
—
Chelmsford Best Bet
Race 6: ARLECCHINO’S ARC (3)
Trainer: Mark Usher – Jockey: David Probert
The consistent ARLECCHINO’S ARC will get few better opportunities as his trainer experiments with the distance factor by bringing him back to the 2000 metres distance under an eyecatching jockey booking. A closer who needs the luck that racing real estate can bring at the finish, he can gain a deserved first win of the year.
