1:50 Race Preview (by Bet365, best odds): Kid Charlemagne is given the nod ahead of Sergheyev and Dereks. The selection, unbeaten in bumpers, was a warm order to maintain his winning streak on his hurdling bow but something was clearly amiss as he weakened quickly before being pulled up. That has to be a concern but he's been given a Cheltenham entry and is worth another chance. Sergheyev is another talented bumper performer with something to prove. He has raced as though something were amiss this term and has left David Pipe since his last outing; the market should prove informative. Arctic Magic should be capable of better, Pickamus and Blackthorn Boy should pick up races but Dereks is of more interest. He takes a marked drop in trip today but that may well suit this keen running sort who has plenty of natural ability. Keep an eye on him but back Kid Charlemagne to take the honours.

 4:55 Race Preview (by Bet365, best odds): Miss Midnight gets the vote in the finale with Honour's Dream and General Smith also considered. The selection certainly deserves to resume winning ways as she has gone close on each of her last 3 starts. She looks as though she is capable of winning off her current mark and with the ground in her favour she looks the most likely winner. General Smith is another consistent type but he is better on a faster surface and on that basis he is worth taking on today. Honour's Dream has been running well but the suspicion is that the handicapper may now have his measure. Caliban is from a shrewd yard and he can go well at a price, but for the winner we will stick with the admirably consistent Miss Midnight.
