Waitinonasunnyday 16.15 Fontwell 1 Pt Win @ 6\4 (bog)

Upwardly-mobile chaser who only just held on at Leicester 47 days ago but stands out on profile in a weak affair and looks well capable of securing the hat-trick. 

Espirit De Lumiere 19.40 Dundalk 1 Pt Win @ 4\1 (bog)

Blinkered for 1st time, excellent neck second of 9 to Lyrical Attraction in handicap (14/1) at this course (10.7f) 10 days ago, caught further back than ideal. Leading claims.

Fair gelding. One win from 28 Flat runs. Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner handicap at this course (5f, 7/2) 7 days ago, plenty in hand. Escapes a penalty and should prove hard to beat. 

Psychedelic Funk 17.40 Tipperary 1 Pt Win @ 11\10 (bog)

Smart gelding. C&D winner. One win from 2 runs last year. 3 lengths seventh of 9 to Imaging in Gladness Stakes (8/1) at Naas (7f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Trainer going well. The one to beat.

Alhakmah 17.55 Salisbury 1 Pt Win @ 6\4 (bog)

Classic Escape 17.55 Downpatrick 1 Pt Win @ 5\4 (bog)

Career best when winning 16-runner handicap hurdle at Ballinrobe (21.5f, good, 7/1) 3 days ago. Carries penalty. Has to be taken seriously.

Bahlwan 14.30 Musselburgh 1 Pt Win @ 9\4 (bog)

Had a few of these behind when justifying market support in 13-runner event over C&D 11 days ago, forging clear. 6 lb rise unlikely to prevent another bold showing. 

Peregrine Run 19.10 Killarney 1 Pt Win @ Evs (bog)

Smart chaser. C&D winner. Ten wins from 30 NH runs. Latest win in chase at Wexford in October. Fell in handicap chase (14/1) at Aintree (21.1f, good to soft) 38 days ago. Obvious claims.
