NICHOLLS AND PRIME

- BY GARRY OWEN

TULIN (2.45) looks a tasty pick for Paul Nicholls in the Dorset Blue Vinny Cheese Handicap Hurdle at Wincanton.

The gelding improved again when chinned by the useful Mack The Man in a strong Exeter novice last month.

The four-year-old has a bright future so can bag glory for his top-class connection­s.

EARTH BUSINESS (1.45) should extend Colin Tizzard’s superb run in the novices’ handicap hurdle. The hurdler put in his best shift when second to Alrightjac­k over almost 2m 4f at Fontwell.

The gelding was staying on strongly last month so can down favourite In Rem up in trip.

The Dorset maestro ought to enjoy a double thanks to MY LADY GREY (3.15) in the staying handicap chase.

The grey shaped like her turn was near when chasing home Marilyn Monroe here a fortnight ago.

TEASE AND SEIZE (12.52) stands to bag the juvenile hurdle at Market Rasen for in-form handler Olly Murphy.

The gelding rates a surefire improver after hammering Burristo on his timber debut at Ludlow a month ago.

MISSCARLET­T (2.52) looks dangerous for Philip Kirby in the MansionBet Handicap Hurdle. The seven-year-old relished returning to three miles when easily denying Go Chique here last month.

The mare is on an attractive mark so should strike again for a trainer who has hit form.

MISS MULLIGAN (3.07) is the call in a trappy handicap hurdle at Leicester.

George Scott’s mare ran a blinder at Fakenham last month when second to Terresita.

The four-year-old is still unexposed over timber so can make light of a welter burden.

Gary Moore remains in peak form so it’s worth backing TARA ITI (3.37) in the novices’ handicap hurdle.

The juvenile stands to gain due compensati­on for giving Monarchoft­hegrange most resistance here last month.

CLIPSHAM TIGER (4.0) can pounce for Mick Appleby at Chelmsford, having easily defeated Ring Of Gold over a mile here three weeks ago.

The gelding is just as good over an extra two furlongs so can shrug off a lenient 4lb rise.
