15:30 Newbury - 'Horse in Focus' looks the value
Cases can be made for a number of these, but the most persuasive is for Timeform 'Horse In Focus' I Still Have Faith who is still getting better despite being a six-year-old and shaped much better than the bare result for a second start in a row at Newmarket last month.
The Stuart Williams-trained gelding hasn't been with the yard for long, but has run a number of good races in defeat without his handicap mark taking too much of a hit.
He needs a good test at this trip to be seen to his best, but ground conditions look ideal and the Timeform pace prediction of 'strong' suggests that today could be the day.

17:40 Worcester - Clermont a Grand bet to follow up
Grand Clermont won with such ease on his second outing for David Pipe at Uttoxeter that he looks capable of defying a 10 lb rise in the weights.
A Timeform 'Horse In Focus' on the back of that run, the 10-year-old is fancied to continue his progress; he was fairly prolific in France, including recording back-to-back wins in March, and is clearly on good terms with himself at present.
The recent rain will suit, and, likely to get a good tow into the race from Presentandcounting and Disco Davis, he can see off fellow HIF Stumps Or Slips who comes into the race in equally good form.

20:17 Worcester - Emerald a gem of a selection
Timeform 'Horse In Focus' Emerald Time should build on his recent eye-catching Aintree run and is taken to open his account in what hardly looks a deep race for the grade.
Though bred to be good on the Flat, the Time Test gelding didn't make it to that sphere, but showed promise in two bumpers and three educational hurdling starts prior to his handicap debut at Aintree last month.
He showed something to work with from off the pace there (from a 1 lb higher mark) and, with a tongue-tie fitted for the first time, he's fancied to break his duck.
