Carlisle 17:00 

 

Pelmanism
Progressive on AW earlier in year, winning 3 times over 6f, and best efforts on turf when runner-up at Hamilton last 2 starts. No reason why he won't be on the premises once more.

Approved Force
Not most genuine, but fair hurdler/chaser on his day and has made frame all completed starts over fences. Soon lost interest on second start back last month, so cheekpieces back on.

Montoya's Son

Unpredictable over hurdles, but quickly improved for the switch to fences when finding only one too good in handicap at Hexham last month. Off the mark at Carlisle 12 days later. Strong claims.

Kempton Park 17:05 

 

Cinderkamp
Significant improvement to win final 2 starts as a juvenile, rounding off campaign with resounding C&D success. Resumes off a much higher mark, but no denying his progressive profile.

Brighton 14:20
Rocker
Won at Lingfield last May, but only sixth in repeat bid in corresponding race last time, although failed to get run of things, and had previously been in good form. Blinkers back on now.

Redcar 15:50
Ezra Church
Got off mark in 6f Southwell maiden in February. Bettered that form when second to Vito Volterra at Newcastle (7f) last week and obvious claims off same mark with cheekpieces tried now.

14:30 Haydock
Special Boy
¤110,000 yearling with superb pedigree and counts Ezalli and Gentle On My Mind among his relatives to have made successful debuts.

17:50 Ascot
Florestans Match
Well backed on all runs as a juvenile but proved expensive to follow. Finaly got off the mark last time, winning by four lengh and eased right down, steps up in class here but i think we still have to see the best of her.

15:30 Chester
Fathom Five
Prominent racer whose last 2 wins have come over 5f at Epsom. Ended 2010 in good form, joined yard that are dab hand with sprinters and won first time out last year.
 

Tuesday May 3 2011

Exeter 20:20
Bahira
Fairly useful form in bumpers, her third place at Taunton flanked by wins at Catterick and Sedgefield, the latter in ready fashion. Donald McCain rarely sends runners this far without good reason and it will be a surprise if his filly can't add to recent wins at Catterick and Sedgefield.

Zafaraan
Half-sister to 7f winner Falakee, her dam out of a sister to Shirley Heights. Zafaraan  appeared to find 7f too sharp at Salisbury in October and given connections shes likely to do much better this time around. (Peter Chapple-Hyam won with 2 returning 3-y-os in April and Zafaraan has the right sort of profile to provide him with another here)
