2.00 Chepstow
Swift Crusador has had just one start under rules, but he has undoubted potential and, if primed to go first time up, he could make a mockery of an opening mark off 122 for his chasing debut.
Evan Williams’ charge travelled well at Ffos Las in March and, although fortunate to win, he suggested there could be plenty more to come when he tackled a fence.
The six-year-old finished second to the smart De Dollar Man in an Irish point-to-point and the latter is now rated 139, while it bodes well that Williams has chosen to enter him in a competitive handicap for his first chase start rather than a small-field novice..
Any rain will be a plus as all five of his starts have come on testing ground.
Ebitda 3.20 Nottingham
The improving Ebitda has won four of her last five starts over the minimum trip and, kept to the same Class 6 grade, she looks tough to topple under a 6lb penalty.
Scott Dixon’s three-year-old started life in handicaps off a mark of just 46 but has progressed as the season has developed and her latest success at Catterick only last week was a career-best off 67.
Despite being drawn wide in stall 12, the daughter of Compton Place travelled ominously well and put six lengths on her rivals in a matter of strides.
Ebitda has won three times from as many starts when ‘soft’ has featured in the going description and her latest performance suggests there could be plenty left in the tank, particularly with the deep ground at Colwick Park expected to play to her strengths.
Dixon’s filly looks a cut above this opposition and, with three of her victims reopposing, she should go in again, with Jamie Gormley’s 5lb claim reducing a hefty weight.
Espadrille 4.40 Kempton
Espadrille created a favourable impression on her first start at Nottingham last month and can show how much she has learned from that by shedding the maiden tag on her second start.
The daughter of Dubawi was clueless in the early exchanges and still found herself last of a 14-strong field with just over two furlongs to run.
However, Charlie Appleby’s filly picked up well and closed to within eight lengths of winner and stablemate Hadith, who showed just how much a juvenile can improve from their first run to their second.
Hadith has since scored at Listed level and Espadrille, who was sent off an unfancied 20-1 chance that day, would have been much closer than fifth with more knowhow.
Rasima 5.10 Kempton
This is a slightly more competitive maiden than the earlier division and the twice-raced Rasima could offer some value on her return to Kempton.
Roger Varian’s filly was disappointing when third behind the subsequent Rockfel winner Juliet Foxtrot on wet ground at Goodwood on her latest start, but she stuck on under pressure and is worth another chance judged on her debut run.
She had been posted wide on that first start at this track but made eyecatching late headway, suggesting the step up to a mile is a plus.
The first three home set a fair standard and had experience under their belt, while the fourth, Cavatina, has since opened her account.
The reopposing Sharp Reminder finished a place behind Rasmina but looked straighter and has her work cut out to overturn the form, while Fleeting Freedom and Heather Lark look exposed.

Waltz Darling saves his best efforts for Musselburgh. The nine-year-old is three from five over jumps at the track and does well at this time of year, so expect a good effort in the 12.45.
Charlie Appleby is worth following at Kempton as he is operating at a strike-rate in excess of 25 per cent from over 250 runners. The in-form trainer is represented at the venue by Espadrille (4.40) and Alqamar (6.40).
Sean Bowen is a jockey to follow at Chepstow with a strike-rate of 28 per cent at the Welsh track. He can enhance his impressive record with Malapie (3.10) and Alf ‘N’ Dor (3.40).

BANKER
Quick Look (2.50 Nottingham)
Mick Easterby's four-year-old has been running well since a mid-summer break and won very impressively when last seen on the track at Catterick nine days ago. The hold-up performer is effective over five and six furlongs – today's trip isn't a worry – and won with his head in his chest last time out. He's technically 2lb well-in here as he's running under a penalty instead of his 8lb rise gifted to him by the handicapper, and David Allan should be in the winner's enclosure once more.
4/1 Quick Look 2:50 Nottingham EYECATCHER
Bird For Life (7.10 Kempton)
This daughter of Delegator is still unexposed with just seven starts to her name and ran a career best over course and distance last time out when fourth. She was very keen on that occasion under Nicola Currie, but stayed on well close to home and was gaining on the three in front of her all the way to the line. She's been allowed to race off the same mark today and this looks a relatively weak contest.
4/1 Bird For Life 7:10 Kempton (AW) DARK HORSE
Attest (3.55 Nottingham)
You can boil this race down to three runners: Attest, Speciality and England Expects. The latter, likely to go off favourite, has been seen to good effect over this trip recently with two runner-up efforts, but he keeps finding one to beat him, while Speciality is an unknown quantity on his first start for Ralph Beckett. However, Attest looks the play. The 125-rated hurdler looks to have plenty of movement off his Flat mark of 74 and given the form he was in this summer, he can give Adam Elias his first winner as a jockey.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Spiritual Lady (2.15 Nottingham,nap)
Bypassed a straightforward engagement at Newmarket last Friday on account of the fast ground and should find this surface more suitable. Charlie McBride's speedster is well drawn and has moved well on Warren Hill of late.
Others to follow Nottingham 1.05 Rhode Island, 3.55 Lazarus. Kempton 4.40 Espadrille, 5.10 Sharp Reminder, 5.40 Light Relief, 6.10 Lady Of Aran, 6.40 Alqamar, 7.40 Seinfeld.
7/1 Spiritual Lady 2:15 Nottingham Lambourn: James Burn
Mystique (5.40 Kempton, nap)
The daughter of Oasis Dream was well regarded by Charlie Hills in the summer, but was always likely to need time, which she has had, so no surprise to see improvement from her first outing.
Others to follow Chepstow 1.25 Mahlermade, 2.00 Capsy de Mee, 2.35 Pontresina. Kempton 4.40 Dance Me, 5.10 Bubble And Squeak. Nottingham 1.05 Balkhash, 1.40 Oskemen, 3.55 Lady Valdean.
10/1 Mystique 5:40 Kempton (AW) West Country: Andrew King
Daklondike (3.40 Chepstow,nap)
Won in workmanlike style at Wetherby last weekend and makes a quick reappearance. Expected to follow up.
Others to follow Chepstow 2.00 Muffins For Tea, 2.35 Western Honour, 3.10 Waterloo Warrior, 4.15 Chief Sittingbull.
5/4 Daklondike 3:40 Chepstow North: Richard Young
Prestbury Park (6.10 Kempton, nap)
An Irish 2,000 Guineas entry who has shown very useful form on turf and his pedigree suggests he'll be at least as effective now switched to synthetics. Should enjoy the run of the race and player back up in distance.
Others to follow Musselburgh 12.45 Buckled, 1.15 Final Fling, 1.50 Beyond The Clouds, 2.25 Chestnut Ben, 3.00 Wot A Shot, 3.30 No Such Number. Nottingham 12.35 Burn Some Dust, 2.15 Perfect Pasture, 2.50 Quick Look, 3.20 Ebitda, 3.55 Maraakib.
3/1 Prestbury Park 6:10 Kempton (AW) Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason
Waltz Darling (12.45 Musselburgh, nap)
On a lengthy losing run, but half of his six career wins have come at Musselburgh and he looks well handicapped on his first at today's course since 2015.
13/2 Waltz Darling 12:45 Musselburgh Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Green Door (2.15 Nottingham)
Missed the break when sixth in a hot dash at Catterick last month but was far from disgraced and Robert Cowell's sprinter could end his lean spell.
16/1 Green Door 2:15 Nottingham Longshot: Ed Quigley
Eddiemaurice (2.00 Chepstow)
Tough introduction to chasing last time out, but will have no problem with conditions and can't be ruled out.
25/1 Eddiemaurice 2:00 Chepstow Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Ben Rumson (8.55 Dundalk)
Although now 20lb higher than when initiating a course hat-trick in September, the Tom McCourt-trained five-year-old clearly relished the surface and he can extend his winning sequence with champion jockey Colin Keane, who has ridden him to his three victories, again on board.
5/4 Ben Rumson 8:55 Dundalk (AW) Members can read the latest exclusive tipping content such as Pricewise and Paul Kealy from 8pm daily on racingpost.com

Race 6 - 3:40pm THE ALI OLLIS MEMORIAL HANDICAP STEEPLE CHASE (CLASS 4) ALLCHILLEDOUT, trained by Colin Tizzard, was late in the Parade Ring due to the trainer having to saddle two runners and also experiencing difficulty fitting the tongue strap on both runners.

The riders were interviewed and shown recordings of the incident. The Stewards considered that the interference had improved WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE)’s placing as WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE) had drifted right-handed, carrying TOSSAPENNY (IRE) off its intended line, costing that gelding ground and momentum after which TOSSAPENNY (IRE) made progress in the last few strides to be beaten only a nose. The Stewards revised the placings as follows: Second TOSSAPENNY (IRE), Third WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE). The interference was found to be accidental in that WEST TO THE BRIDGE (IRE) swerved sharply right-handed despite the rider’s best efforts.

David Nolan, the rider of BLACKLOOKS (IRE), was unseated just inside the ½ furlong marker. Nolan was unable to be interviewed as he was being assessed by the doctor.

Floodlights at Southwell moved a step closer after committee members of Newark and Sherwood District Council voted in favour of the move.
The plan is for the whole 10-furlong circuit and the five-furlong track to be lit up by 54 pylons.
Floodlit racing already takes place at Kempton, Chelmsford, Wolverhampton and Newcastle.
Southwell is owned by Arena Racing Company and the plan is to apply for extra fixtures to begin racing under floodlights by 2019.
Executive director at Southwell Mark Clayton said: " ARC is very pleased planning permission has been granted to construct floodlights at Southwell Racecourse.
"Subject to future fixture allocation, the current intention is for construction to begin in 2018 in time for racing under floodlights to start at Southwell in 2019."
Southwell has staged all-weather racing since 1989 but from a peak of 80 fixtures a year, it is now down to 54 meetings in 2017 due to the addition of new all-weather tracks.

Newmarket: David Milnes
Middle Kingdom (7.15 Chelmsford, nap)

Nicky Henderson has a very good record with his runners at Newbury, which improves significantly when Barry Geraghty is booked to ride. They combine once more with Countister (2.10).
Venetia Williams has a 26 per cent strike-rate at Market Rasen and she sends one horse to the Lincolnshire track. Kap Jazz (2.35) should come on from a recent return at Carlisle.
It’s worth taking note when Mitchell Bastyan rides Still Believing (2.55). They have been successful on the two occasions the conditional rider has partnered the nine-year-old and bid to make it three from three at Ludlow.

in today's sporting life........... Harry Cobden is understandably delighted after being asked by Colin Tizzard to replace Paddy Brennan on Cue Card. Tizzard has chosen to go with a fresh pair of hands on the 11-year-old after he fell for the second time in his last three races in the Charlie Hall Chase at Wetherby on Saturday. The 19-year-old, who rides principally for Tizzard and Paul Nicholls, schooled Cue Card on Wednesday morning. He said: "I schooled him this morning and he felt A1. I'm very much looking forward to riding him. It is a great opportunity for a young jockey to pick up a ride like that and the target is the Betfair Chase. "I ride out for Colin every Wednesday and I know all the horses well. I've not really got any commitments in Graded races so it will be nice riding a horse like that as these opportunities don't come around too often." Cue Card's next race is due to be the Betfair Chase at Haydock on November 25, a race he has won three times in the past, twice with Brennan on board. Tizzard said the decision was nothing personal but that he felt he owed it to the horse to try something different. "I spoke to Paddy on Monday and said I thought the horse deserved to have a change of rider as he has fallen twice out of the last three times. He said it was fair enough," said Tizzard. "It's not a big issue changing jockey as we do it all the time, but it might be on Cue Card because of his profile. It is a different set of hands on board so we will see what happens." The trainer added: "Harry might be available for two or three races, whereas a lot of the top jockeys are already on the best horses. "I like the idea of having a younger man on him. I've known Harry all my life and he has got plenty of experience. He has ridden a lot of winners for us and he is a good young rider. "I consulted Jean (Bishop, Cue Card's owner) about it and she is a very loyal person, but she thought the horse deserved a new rider. "He (Cobden) will be scrutinised, no doubt, but getting on Cue Card when you are 19 years old, he should be chuffed." .

Pro punter and National Hunt specialist Murt Khan is looking for a little romance at Ludlow as he highlights three wagers on Thursday. 2.55 Ludlow preview Click here for racecard and free video form MONBEG CHARMER looked to have a decent technique over fences on his last start but he jumped markedly right at most of them. To the horse's credit he was still travelling fairly well turning in but his errant jumping took it's toll not far into the home straight. There is also a chance the horse may have needed it. So with a run under his belt and back on a right handed course there is reason to think he will put in a bold show. Connections have applied a tongue tie today and it could be a case of catch me if you can. 3.30 LUDLOW Click here for racecard and free video form CHILLI ROMANCE ran a big race on his seasonal debut, for me he was ridden too aggressively in what was a strong run race. His tank emptied just before the last obstacle on rain softened ground. He has some fair form in novice races last year. Now with a run under his belt with decent ground under foot he should go close. 1.40 NEWBURY Click here for racecard and free video form CROSSPARK has a decent record fresh and these look to be his optimum conditions today. This should be a proper run race and I expect Richard Johnson to ride him with patience, if so this race could easily fall into his lap.

Nigel Twiston-Davies is eyeing up more BetVictor Gold Cup glory after the weights for the Cheltenham handicap were revealed on Wednesday. The Gloucestershire trainer has won the race three times before, with Tipping Tim in 1992, Imperial Commander in 2008 and Little Josh in 2010, and he has a live chance this year with recent course winner Foxtail Hill, who has been allotted 11 stone. "Foxtail Hill will head to Cheltenham for the BetVictor Gold Cup, all being well," Twiston-Davies said. "It was a very good performance at the last meeting and he has come out of that race 100 per cent fine. "He surprised us a little bit with what he did over two miles as we have always thought two and a half miles is his best trip. "I hope he has a good chance next week. It tends to suit horses who were novices the season before, but he has already won a couple of big handicaps at Cheltenham and looks high enough in the weights. "Ballybolley (11st 3lb) is going to Aintree on Saturday for a handicap chase. If he ran really well there, he could go to Cheltenham too but I would say that is unlikely." Ante-post favourite Kylemore Lough (8/1 with Sky Bet) has been allotted 11st 7lb in the weights for the feature race. Kylemore Lough, winner of the G1 Ryanair Gold Cup at Fairyhouse in March, 2016, is set to have his first start for Harry Fry in the prestigious G3 handicap chase, having previously been trained by Kerry Lee. The weights are headed by G1 Racing Post Arkle Challenge Trophy runner-up Cloudy Dream (Malcolm Jefferson) and multiple G2 scorer Top Gamble (Kerry Lee) on 11st 12lb. Politologue (20/1) also has 11st 12lb after picking up a 5lb penalty for Tuesday's G2 188Bet Haldon Gold Cup triumph at Exeter, although he is likely to head straight to Sandown Park for the G1 Tingle Creek Chase on December 9. Politologue's trainer Paul Nicholls has nine entries to choose from as he chases a third BetVictor Gold Cup in six years. A strong team for the Somerset handler also includes impressive Chepstow and Stratford victor Romain De Senam (10st 12lb) and Aintree G1 scorer San Benedeto (11st 8lb), who was second to Politologue on his comeback. Nicholls has had a change of heart regarding Romain De Senam and is now targeting the BetVictor Gold Cup. The Ditcheat handler initially ruled out a crack at the valuable handicap, believing it would be too much to ask of the five-year-old. However, after shooting up the ratings for two quick wins in October, the plan has now changed. He is due to carry 10st 12lb and could be joined by several stablemates. "I will go to Cheltenham with him now," said Nicholls. "I originally thought we would go to Kempton then the December Gold Cup at Cheltenham. On the way he has won his last two starts, we have got to go there now and the intention is to run in it. "They might want to run Le Prezien (11st 3lb) in it, but I don't know. Sametegal (10st 11lb) could go there as well. He ran nicely at Wetherby the other day but just came up against one." The Irish challenge is headed by Tully East (Alan Fleming, 11st 1lb) who was a smooth winner of Listed Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase over the course and distance at The Festival in March. Also among the seven Irish-trained entries are Ballycasey (Willie Mullins, 11st 11lb), a G1 winner over fences, plus G2 Gowran Park Champion Chase scorer A Toi Phil (11st 11lb) and G1 Punchestown chase third Ball D'Arc (11st 5lb), who are both trained by Gordon Elliott. Other notables include Go Conquer (Jonjo O'Neill, 11st 4lb), who is up 9lb for an impressive success at Ascot last weekend, 2016 Close Brothers Novices' Handicap Chase victor Ballyalton (Ian Williams, 10st 10lb) and Gold Present (Nicky Henderson, 10st 9lb), who was runner-up to Tully East in that contest this year.

The sponsor's 7/1 favourite is Defi Du Seuil (Philip Hobbs, 11st 6lb), who is unbeaten in seven starts over hurdles, four of which have come at Cheltenham. The four-year-old captured the JCB Triumph Hurdle victory at The Festival in 2017 and also landed G2 contests at The November Meeting and on Festival Trials Day in January, plus gaining success at The International in December. Also prominent in the ante-post market are Divin Bere (10st 11lb, 8/1) and Call Me Lord (10st 6lb, 12/1), two of six entries for champion trainer Nicky Henderson, while Elgin (Alan King, 10st 8lb, 12/1) put up a game performance to take a Listed handicap hurdle under 11st 11lb at Ascot on November 4. There nine Irish-trained contenders including Campeador (Gordon Elliott, 12/1), an impressive scorer on his comeback at Punchestown last month. Elgin's trainer Alan King may instead wait for a valuable race at Ascot after he picked up a small cut when winning at the weekend. However, the Barbury Castle handler hopes to be represented by William H Bonney. "Elgin did a canter this morning and we will see about the Greatwood. I will know more at the weekend. It is 50-50 at the moment," said King. "He got a couple of stitches after the weekend. I might just wait for what was The Ladbroke (Wessex Youth Trust Handicap Hurdle) before Christmas (December 23) back at Ascot with him. "The one I want to run in it (Greatwood) is Willam H Bonney. We've always said we would go straight there with him. "I've been very happy with him and he is working away grandly. That's the plan - to head straight there with him." Another on course for the race is Ben Pauling's A Hare Breath, who fourth last year, after which he went chasing. "The Greatwood is very much the plan for A Hare Breath. He is in good form and has been doing plenty of work and he should be ready for the day," said the trainer.

As far as plans go the victory of Itshard To No in the Le Beau Bai & Mountainous Chase at Chepstow could not have worked out any better for trainer Kerry Lee. After stepping in to sponsor a two-mile race named in honour of the yard's two former Welsh Grand National heroes at the eleventh hour, the Presteigne handler could not hide her delight as she saw the prize head back her way after the eight-year-old got up in the closing strides by a neck. Lee said: "I'm absolutely thrilled to win this race. It was a last minute call to sponsor the race. Keith (Ottesen, clerk of the course) rang me yesterday. I like a trip to Chepstow and I couldn't call it the Kerry Lee Chase, so we came up with the Le Beau Bai and Mountainous Chase in tribute to them. "This horse won't ever win a Welsh Grand National as two-mile chases are his game. "That was the most fantastic ride by Richard (Johnson). He rode the horse with huge confidence and that's exactly why he is champion jockey." Paddy The Oscar may be fast approaching his 15th birthday, but the Grace Harris-trained veteran showed he still has plenty of life left in him by gaining a first success in almost two years when taking the Ali Oils Memorial Handicap Chase by two lengths. Harris said of the 10/1 winner: "It was brilliant and he is such a legend. It was a slog in that ground and he has done it well, especially as he is rising 15 years old. I thought the younger legs might catch him. "He just keeps going and this season he seems to look so well. We will keep going as he loves his job and gets looked after like a king." Evan Williams took the wraps of two potentially smart recruits after teaming up with Adam Wedge to claim a double at the Monmouthshire track. The brace was initiated by the five-length victory of The Last Day (15/8) in the two-mile maiden hurdle. Williams said: "He's a big, raw baby and he was having a good look around. It's nice that he has won a bumper and a maiden hurdle now. He could come back here under a penalty." The double was completed by Chooseyourweapon (9/1), who snatched an unlikely looking victory when swooping late in the second maiden hurdle of the day. Williams added: "He is a lovely type of horse. He was green at all his hurdles but the penny dropped and he stayed on well." PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY Steely Addition can expect to be hit with a serious hike in the weights after demolishing his rivals by 10 lengths in the extended two-mile-seven-furlong handicap hurdle. However, the Philip Hobbs-trained five-year-old is clearly on a steep upward curve. RIDE OF THE DAY Richard Johnson emphasised just why he is the best in the business when galvanising Itshard To No to glory in the dying strides under a power-packed ride. QUOTE OF THE DAY Owners Angela and William Rucker are known for taking a patient approach with horses and trainer Evan Williams believes it will be a while yet before seeing the best of The Last Day. Williams said: "I think it is fair to say that Mr and Mrs Rucker and I won't be seeing the best of him until he is about 10 or 11 running around Aintree. We don't want him to peak to soon!"

The rider stated that his instructions were to jump out last as OSCAR’S SONG (IRE) can prove keen and he wanted to get the mare to settle and relax. He added that he asked for an effort approaching the fourth last as the mare needs to be produced as late as possible and has a tendency not to get home in her races. He further stated that he started to give the mare a squeeze coming to the second last, hoping for a nice jump at the last, and felt that if he had gone for OSCAR’S SONG (IRE) earlier the mare would not have seen the race out. The trainer’s representative confirmed that the ride accorded with instructions given. Their explanations were noted.

Davy Russell has gone to hospital for precautionary x-rays on his left foot following a fall at Thurles.
Russell, currently leading the Irish jumps jockeys' title race with 65 winners, took a nasty tumble from Ronava at the third fence in the Littleton Handicap Chase.
He was stood down for the rest of the day, missing his last two rides.

in today's sporting life............. Shantou Rock can claim his second victory over fences in the Integral Novices' Chase at Warwick, says Anita Chambers. Waarif is worth following as he makes just his second British start in the sunbets.co.uk Handicap at Newcastle. Formerly trained by Kevin Prendergast in Ireland, Waarif notched up one all-weather win in three maiden starts last year before being absent from action for well over a year. The son of Arcano was snapped up for just 23,000 guineas at the end of last season and was subsequently gelded when he joined David O'Meara's team. He then took a fair chunk of time to get back to the track, eventually reappearing at Newcastle last month when he turned in a fair performance to finish second on the back of a 15-month absence. Waarif missed an intended run at Chelmsford at the end of October, but clearly whatever troubled him that day was not too serious as he is back in action here. The handicapper put him up 1lb for his return effort and Waarif looks capable of making his mark off that sort of rating. Economic Crisis was beaten six lengths at Catterick on her latest start, but she deserves a bit more credit for that run than first appears. Alan Berry's charge hardly helped herself when she unshipped her rider in the preliminaries and perhaps the excitement of that mishap just told a bit as she got a bit left behind before making up ground in the finish. Economic Crisis will be joining the 100 club in the 32Red.com Fillies' Handicap and while her return of 11 wins in 99 starts is hardly breathtaking, she certainly is capable of decent efforts on her day. Shantou Rock can claim his second victory over fences in the Integral Novices' Chase at Warwick. Dan Skelton's charge won three times and was second three times from eight starts over hurdles. He fell on his final start of last season at Exeter, but showed no scars from that tumble when winning as he liked on his chasing bow at Newton Abbot last month. While he was clearly a very useful hurdler, he looks like making up into an even better horse over the larger obstacles and a second victory will earn him a tilt at some lofty targets. Just A Thought takes an eyecatching hike in distance for the Hy-Kleen Of Warwick Novices' Hurdle. Second in a three-mile point-to-point back in April 2016, Rebecca Curtis' mare was a dual bumper winner last season before rounding off with third place in a Listed heat at Sandown in March. She was second on her hurdles bow over nearly two and a half miles at Chepstow last month, but it is perhaps telling Just A Thought is now pitched in over three miles and two furlongs. Two Swallows gets the nod in the TBA/EBF Mares' Beginners' Chase at Fontwell. The seven-year-old was last seen winning over hurdles at Cheltenham in the spring and while a couple of her opponents achieved more over timber, this is a different discipline and Two Swallows could relish it most. Sporting Life suggestions: DUNDALK: 5.30 Time Stands Still, 6.00 War Hero, 6.30 Insignia Of Rank, 7.00 Red Avenger, 7.30 Time For Mabel, 8.00 Peace Officer, 8.30 Indian Landing, 9.00 Rosenborg Rider. FONTWELL: 1.30 Moon Trip, 2.00 Two Swallows, 2.30 Kentford Heiress 3.00 Diese Des Bieffes, 3.30 Give Him Time, 4.00 The Go Tou Man.

Cap Soleil and Claimantakinforgan earned Cheltenham Festival quotes following impressive wins at Newbury on Thursday. Cap Soleil (evens favourite) maintained her unbeaten record with a stylish display in the CSP Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Newbury - and was cut to for the Trull House Stud Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Cheltenham. Trainer Fergal O'Brien, who is enjoying a golden spell at present, opted to take on some nice types first time out over obstacles with the four-year-old after she won two Listed bumpers last season. Dame Rose, winner of the Grade Two mares' bumper at Aintree, set off at a frenetic pace under Danny Cook but she was carrying a penalty having already struck over hurdles at Hexham in October. By the second-last Cap Soleil and Countister had taken over, but it was the former's jockey Paddy Brennan who barely moved a muscle en route to a seven-length triumph. "I felt a bit of pressure as you want to get that first run out of the way, but she was fantastic," O'Brien said of the even-money favourite. "Her main asset is that she is so laid-back. She doesn't know she's a racehorse, which is what you need. "A big plus is having Paddy ride her as he's put a lot of work into her. I think there's a mares' Listed race back here next month and she might be better on softer ground, which we should get. You'd like to think she'll end up at Cheltenham in March." Newbury Racecourse ✔@newburyracing It's been a difficult week for Paddy Brennan but things look brighter as Cap Soleil maintains her unbeaten record @fobracing 2:19 PM - Nov 9, 2017 2 2 Replies 9 9 Retweets 39 39 likes Twitter Ads info and privacy Claimantakinforgan (30/100 favourite), third in the Champion Bumper in March, made a winning debut over obstacles for Nicky Henderson in the Agetur UK Novices' Hurdle. Henderson told Racing UK: "He's always looked a smart horse in the making and this was a nice place to start. Like a lot of ours, he's just had a little blow. He'd get two and a half miles but he's quick. I think he'll stay at two next time and hopefully he can do that again somewhere before going up in class. He's at Cheltenham. Claimantakinforgan (right) is about to hit the front Claimantakinforgan (right) is about to hit the front David Pipe's string have hit form and Dell'Arca (7/1) showed the benefit of a recent run when bolting up in the Pertemps Network Handicap Hurdle. Jockey Tom Scudamore said: "He's been a wonderful servant for the yard - he won the Greatwood five years ago. To produce what could be a career-best five years after his biggest win is testament to him." Philip Hobbs left Newbury with a treble as the triumph of Strong Pursuit (4/1) in the beginners' chase was backed up by Poppy Kay justifying 5/2 favouritism in the conditional jockeys' handicap hurdle. Strong Pursuit was ridden by Richard Johnson, who also teamed up with the Minehead handler to take the concluding bumper with Tidal Flow (8/1).

Connections of Mount Mews are likely to make a late call regarding his participation in the Unibet Greatwood Hurdle at Cheltenham next weekend. A smart novice last season for Malcolm Jefferson, he rounded off his campaign finishing second to Pingshou in Grade One company at Aintree. Mount Mews reappeared last weekend in the Scottish Champion Hurdle Trial at Ayr under a big weight but the heavy ground caught him out and he could only finish third. Jefferson's daughter and assistant, Ruth, said: "We were really pleased, he gave nearly 2st to the winner and over 2st to the second. "There were a couple of not-so-good jumps that probably cost him more than the weight. "It was heavy ground, too. I know he'd won in heavy at Kelso last season but that was a level-weights race, giving all that away in heavy ground is hard. "It was a nice performance and it was his prep for other races. He was fit enough to do himself justice but he'll come on for the run. "He'll get an entry for the Fighting Fifth and he might get confirmed for the Greatwood, we'll decide on Monday." One horse set to line up at Cheltenham later this month is John Quinn's Project Bluebook and the North Yorkshire trainer hopes there is more to come. Project Bluebook (10st 6lb) was purchased by J P McManus after capturing a couple of two-mile hurdles at Musselburgh in January, and justified the leading owner's decision with two promising efforts in the spring. The son of Sinndar finished fourth behind Flying Tiger (Nick Williams, 10st 4lb) in the Fred Winter Juvenile Handicap Hurdle at The Festival in March before ending last campaign with a half-length success over Dandy Mag in the Grade 2 four-year-old hurdle at Fairyhouse's Easter Festival. Project Bluebook returned to Ireland for the Galway Hurdle in July, finishing a respectable sixth behind another McManus runner, Tigris River (Joseph O'Brien, 10st 13lb), and was last seen out on the Flat when second in a two-mile handicap at Chepstow on August 17. Quinn said: "Project Bluebook is absolutely fine. I have been very happy with him since Chepstow and the plan is to run in the Unibet Greatwood Handicap Hurdle. "He ran a good race in the Galway Hurdle. It is a tough race, especially for four-year-olds, but we were pleased with his performance. "When four-year-olds are out of their novice year, it is definitely harder for them, but he progressed last season and I hope there is more to come from him. "He is very versatile ground-wise. Not many horses want it too testing and a bit of nice jumping ground next week - good to soft or soft - would be ideal."

Smad Place is likely to skip the Ladbrokes Trophy at Newbury in favour of the Christy 1965 Chase at Ascot on November 25. Alan King's popular veteran bounced back to winning ways in the Old Roan Chase at Aintree on his seasonal return. As a former winner of what was the Hennessy in 2015, the Newbury feature on December 2 was in his sights, but with almost top weight, King favours the shorter race at Ascot the previous weekend. "Smad Place will almost certainly miss the Ladbrokes Trophy," said King. "He will be top weight and has 11st 11lb as it is, so I think he will go to Ascot the week before for the two-mile-five Grade Two. "I think that will suit him better and the owners are not keen on the Ladbrokes Trophy. I don't think I can ask him to hump top weight around."

Newmarket: David Milnes
Pouvoir Magique (7.15 Newcastle, nap)
Looks the type to excel on Tapeta and expected to collect first time on the all-weather after a couple of modest efforts on turf. John Gosden’s colt has worked well on Long Hill of late.
Others to follow Newcastle 5.45 Destinata, 6.15 Charleston Belle, 6.45 Cashla Bay, 9.15 Lady of the Lamp.
7/2 Pouvoir Magique 7:15 Newcastle (AW) Lambourn: James Burn
Legend Lady (2.30 Fontwell, nap)
Lightly raced with only five starts on her CV with perhaps more to come. She boasts some useful form and is held in high regard by Oliver Sherwood, who does well with his runners at this track.
Others to follow Fontwell 2.00 Miss Crick, 3.00 Diese Des Bieffes, 4.00 The Go Tou Man. Warwick 12.50 Fields Of Fortune, 1.50 Full Irish, 2.20 Zen Master, 2.50 Lunar Flow, 3.50 Taras Day.
4/1 Legend Lady 2:30 Fontwell West Country: Andrew King
Lady Of Lamanver (2.30 Fontwell, nap)
Returns from a long layoff but has run well fresh in the past and expected to put up a bold show.
Others to follow Fontwell 1.30 Lady Of Longstone, 2.00 Tacenda, 3.30 Barney From Tyanee, 4.00 Inaminna. Warwick 12.50 Padleyourowncanoe, 1.20 Bill And Barn, 2.50 Billy Two Tongues, 3.50 Miss Tynte.
7/4 Lady Of Lamanver 2:30 Fontwell North: Richard Young
Frank The Slink (3.40 Hexham, nap)
Has not won for some time but the 11-year-old is on a good mark and ran well over this course and distance in the spring. Should be better for his last run after a break, ground conditions look ideal and he is fancied to go well with a tongue-tie fitted.
Others to follow Hexham 12.40 Bulkov, 1.10 Black Art, 1.40 Niceandeasy, 2.10 Teddy Tee, 2.40 Sky Full Of Stars, 3.10 On A Promise. Newcastle 5.45 Harbour Vision, 6.15 Port Soif, 6.45 Nuns Walk, 7.15 Waarif, 7.45 Mr Potter, 8.15 Naupaka, 8.45 My Girl Maisie, 9.15 Quick Look.
12/1 Frank The Slink 3:40 Hexham Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason
Oxwich Bay (2.20 Warwick, nap)
Bumper winner who has shaped well on both starts over hurdles to date and looks well treated off 115 on his handicap debut.
11/8 Oxwich Bay 2:20 Warwick Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Arrowzone (7.45 Newcastle)
Took advantage of a declining handicap mark to end his lean spell at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and is still well treated on his best form.
11/8 Arrowzone 7:45 Newcastle (AW) Longshot: Ed Quigley
Riverside City (3.20 Warwick)
Lost his way recently but is starting to look attractively handicapped off a mark of 111 so cannot be left out of calculations.
9/1 Riverside City 3:20 Warwick Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Massa Lubrense (8.00 Dundalk)
John Geoghegan’s homebred has been placed on two of his four starts, most recently when runner-up over 6f at Leopardstown. That was only his second start of the year and, with improvement on the cards, he gets the vote to land the 7f maiden.
10/3 Massa Lubrense 8:00 Dundalk (AW) Members can read the latest exclusive tipping content such as Pricewise and Paul Kealy from 8pm daily on racingpost.com
