Blue DAVE THE DOUGHBALL - Did plenty wrong in seasons debut but been winning since and it wouldnt be a shock if he was in contention tonight. Green - RAM TART - Appears to be on a sharply upward curve, winning both starts this season. He handled contrasting ground in those two contests but finished well on top each time. Purple - SOURDOUGH STEVE - Well beaten on recent appearances and hard to fancy today. Yellow - ROGER ROGER JAMMIE DODGER - Not always consistent previously he seems be getting his act together now not to rule out. White - CHELSEA RUN - Won here last year, but has shown little else to impress. Pink - LAMB DONUT - Fell at last two outings but a recent change of jockey make her a possible winner.

Old Mill Hunters Chase

3.10pm

Blue - STELLA - Stoutly-bred ram who has been well-held in last couple of races, likely to need further than this if he is to make any impact today. Green BECKS - Has made a promising start this season, will suit todays race and stronger claims than most. Purple THATCHERS - Signs of ability in previous years but a disappointing start to this season. Yellow CORVUS - Twice successful last year, good chance to resume winning ways here. White BUTCOMBE - Wouldnt have to step up after last times efforts, one to think about today. Pink DOOM BAR - Twice successful over this trip. Good chance to resume winning ways here.

Blue - CASH COW - Good second last time out. Ground conditions an unknown but leading chance with repeat of that effort. Green - GIFT HORSE - Stamina his forte, runner up in last two races and not out of this today. Purple - LOAN SHARK - Won two races last season, but has been let down by attitude in recent times. Yellow - LIONS SHARE - Came a close second earlier in the season but jumping went to pieces last time out. A risky choice. White - UNDER DOG - Sure to be popular after winning its last two starts. Tough and tenacious, he does it from the front but dont expect him to cave in easily when challenged. Pink - PIGGY BANK - Suffered narrow defeat last time and bold showing likely if keeping mistakes down.

Boden Handicap Hurdle

2.35pm

Pearce Seeds Grand National

3.45pm

Blue - PEARL RAM - Tendency to finish weakly means he is a risky one for the win. Green - EWE B 40 - Caught the eye when placed last time out, ground possibly against him since. Purple - LADY BAA BAA - Runner up on both starts, hampered by faller last time out. Shaping to improve on that here. Yellow - WOOL I AM - Fell early in race last time out. Good conditions to suit, dont rule out. White - DURAM DURAM - No encouragement in its three races last season, serious lift in form to happen to get close here. Pink - ROB DA SHANK - Has had a good season, winning twice, moody display last time though and improvements needed to defy current mark.

Blue - SEEDY SID - Soundly beaten on his last two starts, will be a surprise is gets close today. Green - PESTACLIVE - Coaxed home last time out last summer. Held form since and looks one of the more solid options despite tendency to finish weakly. Purple ROUNDUP ROBERT Pedigree nothing special but yard is having a bumper season and sheep back to good form of late. Yellow CORNEY KEV Twice a winner last year and finished a good third last time out after rallying well when the pressure was on. White FERTILE PHIL Highly regarded by his trainer and though he has failed to make as much impact as hoped he remains an interesting prospect. Pink KIWI DOLLY He has built up a fairly impressive losing sequence so far this season. Looks less fanciable than its opposition.
