Leicester 14:10 - Until Winning
Until Winning justified strong market support when running away with a Ludlow handicap last time and he should be able to follow up here. Until Winning was well suited by the drop back to two miles at Ludlow and he remains unexposed over the minimum distance. He's been hiked up in the weights, but he really was impressive last time and a good-value claimer helps to ease the burden.
Leicester 14:40 - The Ould Lad
The Ould Lad failed to complete the hat-trick when finishing runner-up over 26 furlongs at Cheltenham in December, but he shaped well over a trip beyond his optimum and can bounce back here. The Ould Lad travelled strongly at Cheltenham, looking the most likely winner for much of the way, but the stiff test of stamina caught him out late on, and he'll be well suited by returning to just shy of three miles. He looks to be on a fair mark and could have a bit more to offer over fences, so makes plenty of appeal.
Kelso 15:00 - Glingerburn
It might be worth siding with the novice Glingerburn to get the better of his more experienced rivals in the Timeform Morebattle Hurdle. The well-bred Glingerburn has returned from an absence in excellent heart, winning a novices' hurdle at Doncaster on reappearance before defying a penalty in a stronger race back at the same course. It was impressive how quickly the front duo pulled clear at Doncaster last time, and Glingerburn should continue to progress, this step up in trip likely to see him to even better effect.
