14:30, Doncaster - New Order weighted to turn form round

Last month's Great Yorkshire Chase at Doncaster was run at a strong gallop which played right into the hands of Dartmoor Pirate who came from well off the pace, leading before the last and then staying on to win by just under four lengths from New Order.

However, back at Doncaster over the extra quarter-mile of the Grimthorpe Handicap Chase, there's a good chance those placings will be reversed. Unlike the winner, New Order raced much closer to the pace which counted against him in the end, and he shaped better than the result, earning the 'Horse In Focus' flag as a consequence. He was left in front five out, probably sooner than ideal, and then kept on when Dartmoor Pirate headed him.

While the winner was put up 5 lb for that win, New Order has been left on the same mark which entitles him to turn the tables. He also has the 'Horses For Courses' flag as well as the 'Jockey Uplift' flag, with Sam Twiston-Davies in the saddle for the first time.

14:35, Lingfield - Richie's Rocket destined for better things

Ralph Beckett's Richie's Rocket makes most appeal in Lingfield's Spring Cup, a listed contest for three-year-olds over seven furlongs. He had just two starts at the back end of last year and looks very much on the way to better things. After making a promising debut in a novice at Newmarket when keeping on to take third close home in a race won by the useful Yazin, he was then one of several from that race to win next time out.

Richie's Rocket confirmed that promise in no uncertain terms when landing very short odds in a maiden over today's course and distance, turning it into even more of a one-sided race than the market suggested.

Making all the running, he settled things decisively over two furlongs out and ended up winning easing down by nine lengths from One of The Boys. That was a useful effort, earning Richie's Rocket the 'Horse In Focus' flag and he heads the Timeform weight-adjusted ratings here with the promise of better to come.

15:45, Newbury - Issam going the right way

Herefordshire trainer Tom Symonds is having a good season and, having won the Rendlesham Hurdle at Haydock a fortnight ago with Lud'or, he can win another good prize this month with progressive eight-year-old Issam in the Greatwood Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury.

A winner three times over hurdles after joining his current yard from France, Issam is now also a three-time winner from just six starts over fences. He made a successful reappearance at Wetherby and then had two runs at Ascot, running a good third on the first occasion but then being unsuited by the way the race developed when stepped up to three miles last month.

However, Issam created an excellent impression back down in trip at Kempton on his latest start. Travelling fluently under a patient ride, Issam was produced to lead before the last and readily quickened clear to win easing down by six and a half lengths from Madara, now the ante-post favourite for the Plate at the Cheltenham Festival. Issam is 7 lb higher in the weights but can defy that rise to win again.
