ORCHARDSTOWN CROSS (4.30) can bear fruit for Jeremy Scott in the Indulge Novices Chase at Newbury.
Second to at Warwick on his fencing bow, the gelding relished three miles when bolting up at Taunton.
That is unlikely to be the limit of this eight-year-old’s ability and he can follow up under talented 5lb claimer Rex Dingle.
(1.45) looks regal in the Physicool Conditional Jockeys Hurdle.

BY GARRY OWEN Chris Gordon’s gelding was staying on nicely behind the classy at Plumpton in January and should come on plenty over 2m 4f.
(2.20) can land a typically trappy Newbury novice hurdle for Philip Hobbs. Fairly useful in France, the four-yearold should be even better in the UK after his excellent second to on debut at Ludlow.
(2.50) is a value

Twiston-Davies’ (3.55) is the safest option in the Rickety Bridge Handicap Hurdle.

(3.45) can give Donald McCain a welcome winner in the mares hurdle.
The six-year-old ran a blinder when second to the progressive
at Newcastle and can go one better off an unchanged mark.
(3.05) can keep up his revival in the feature sprint at Lingfield. A dual course and distance winner, John Ryan’s gelding can defy a 6lb penalty for slamming at Wolverhampton four days ago.
