Clonmel, 13:24 - Back Fenway Park @ 7/24.50

Seven-year-old gelding Fenway Park hasn't been seen to best effect in recent runs, but he drops in trip on his return to hurdling which could allow him to fare better. He has put in a number of good performances over timber in the past, and this assignment could allow him to reignite the spark that has been missing lately.

Representing Andrew McNamara, Fenway Park shouldn't be discounted under 7lb claiming Anna McGuinness in this extended two mile claimer, capable of putting in an improved effort. His sole win came in a maiden hurdle for his former trainer Gavin Cromwell, when he justified odds of 4/71.57 to beat a field which included now 128-rated chaser Lightkeeper.

Worthy of consideration in this different challenge, Fenway Park makes appeal at a price of 7/24.50, and shouldn't be discounted as he bids for a second career success.

Clonmel, 15:44 - Back Toofareastiswest E/W @ 66/167.00

Top weight Toofareastiswest is another performer on the Clonmel card needing to find plenty of improvement following a string of disappointing efforts and non-completions. The ten-year-old is eased in class, however, running in a 0-100 handicap here over hurdles, following a tailed off effort over fences at Thurles. 

From a mark of 100, he's 8lb lower than his previous chase win, and, although needing to prove he can perform over hurdles from this mark, is stepped up considerably in trip, which should suit having proven himself over 3m1f in the past.

In the hands of 7lb claiming John Aherne, Toofareastiswest is one to consider each-way. It may be too early to give up on him, in only his sixth hurdling start, and, in calmer waters, could be able to hold his own for Arthur O'Grady.

Wetherby, 16:10 - Back Block Rockin Beats E/W @ 11/112.00

The step up to 2m7f worked well for Block Rockin Beats at Lingfield in December, where he was a well backed 7/24.50 winner having been available at much bigger odds prior. He was unable to build on that promising success from a 6lb higher mark at Newbury, but the race didn't pan out favourably for him and it's a run worth forgiving. 

In this competitive contest, the Oliver Signy-trained runner makes appeal under Gavin Sheehan as he bids for a third career win in his tenth start. He remains unexposed from a rating of 115, capable of showing further progression and improvement, and could be worth keeping onside. 

Earlier in his career, Block Rockin Beats had shown great potential following a point win for Terence O'Brien, beating Fortune De Mer on British debut for his current yard, before being beaten half-a-length by that same rival in a Listed Cheltenham bumper.

It represents a good formline and, although the seven-year-old has taken his time to return to that kind of form, he has shown he still retains plenty of ability with his victory earlier this term and can resume his progression here.

Ludlow, 16:27 - Back Give Her Hollie E/W @ 12/113.00

Cian Collins-trained Give Her Hollie put in an excellent effort in fourth to Boston Bobby at Down Royal in her penultimate start, outrunning odds of 66/167.00 to make the frame in that competitive 20-runner contest. She is only 5lb higher rated here, and, despite being pulled up in her subsequent run when last seen at Fairyhouse, could prove worth sticking with under 7lb claimer Finn Brickley.

Still lightly raced and unexposed in only her tenth start, there could be more to come from this daughter of Casamento. The six-year-old displayed ability in her penultimate start and, if able to match that level or show further progression, should be able to make her presence felt in her first start in England.

Wetherby, 16:45 - Back Queenofthejukebox @ 11/43.75

Making her second appearance following wind surgery, Queenofthejukebox is one to note under champion jockey Sean Bowen for Noel Williams.

The six-year-old mare returned from a 50-day break with a seventh-placed finish at Kempton earlier this month, but should be able to improve on that effort and could be worth keeping onside. She is yet to get off the mark over obstacles, but won two from four bumpers and also finished fifth to Kingston Queen in a Listed Market Rasen event last winter.

The grey has shown to possess ability and she's entitled to show further improvement in her fourth start, having had a wind operation. She should prove better than a mark of 102 suggests, and, on handicap debut, makes plenty of appeal.

Chelmsford, 17:30 - Back City Of God @ 4/15.00

Equipped with first-time cheekpieces, Karl Burke-trained City Of God gets the nod in the mile seller at Chelmsford.

The son of Kodiac, who fetched 135,000gns as a yearling, makes only his eighth career start in this contest, and should improve on his return to action at Wolverhampton on the back of a 237-day break and gelding operation. He's entitled to come on for his latest run and take a step forward from it, capable of shaping better here, still unexposed with the scope for further improvement.

The four-year-old has shown a decent level of form previously, including when beating now 88-rated War Hawk in a Southwell maiden, as well as finishing second to Dividend, who has recently won twice in Meydan handicaps, including from a rating of 103, when in receipt of 6lb by the talented winner last February.

There should be more to come from City Of God, and, if the addition of headgear has a positive effect, he can make his presence felt in this field.

Chelmsford, 19:30 - Back Mr Cool E/W @ 9/110.00

Charlie Johnston-trained Mr Cool remains over 7f as he bids to improve on a recent fourth at Lingfield in which he was far from disgraced behind Monsieur Kodi. He has been dropped 1lb for that effort, now on a mark of 72, 5lb below his last win.

Making appeal at the weights under Callum Shepherd, Mr Cool can put in a competitive effort in his first appearance at this venue. He's still unexposed over the distance but brings good form over 6f into the race, and has run well from a much higher mark in recent months including when second to Coul Angel on his reappearance at Kempton in the autumn when rated 80.

A likeable performer, Mr Cool can reward the faith if at his best and warrants each-way consideration, holding solid claims from his current rating.
