A Piece Of Cake, who should be all the better for a recent outing, looks the one to be on in the skybet.com Rowland Meyrick Handicap Chase over three miles and one furlong at Wetherby today.

Mary Reveley has enjoyed a good season so far and her ten-year-old shaped as though badly in need of the outing when fifth at Kelso on his seasonal reappearance earlier this month.

With that run under his belt and on these better terms, the gelding is expected to finish ahead of Hugo de Grez, who finished about 20 lengths in front of him that day.

A Piece Of Cake turned in his best effort yet when winning the Borders National at Kelso in April and his sound jumping and abundant stamina will stand him in very good stead this time.

Mrs Reveley's I Got Rhythm has each-way claims in the Sky Bet In Running All On Premiership Games Handicap Hurdle over two miles but preference is for Middlethorpe. Mick Easterby's six-year-old, a dual winner over this trip in the early months of the year, shaped as though he'd be all the better for a recent spin after a short break and he'll appreciate any further rain.

Sue Smith's Kelly Pride has been running creditably of late and is the fancy in the skybetvegas.com Novices Handicap Hurdle over three miles.

The Welsh National is the focal point of Chepstow's card but Claymore looks well worth an interest in the Ray Horton Memorial Handicap Chase over 2 half miles.

Oliver Sherwood's seven-year-old is a progressive sort with a good strike-rate and he ran well, despite a couple of jumping errors, when second to Redemption over this trip at Newbury last time.

A reproduction of that effort should see him go close. Thisthatandtother is the class act on Kempton's card but, with only three inferior rivals in opposition in the two-mile novices chase he's unlikely to be a decent price.

So a better betting proposition could be Hand Inn Hand in the Jobs TV 683 Handicap Chase over three miles.

Henry Daly's chaser, who still has room for improvement in his fencing, was a casualty last time in a most competitive handicap at Cheltenham due to being brought down.

He's over this trip for the first time but showed more than enough in a strong hurdle race over 2 miles at Aintree to suggest his stamina should hold out.

At Southwell Countrywide Flyer looks worth a decent wager in the betdirect.co.uk Nursery over his optimum trip of a mile.

David Barron has his team in good form and his juvenile turned in his best effort yet, despite edging to his left again, when beating Queenstown last month, with the pair well clear of the remainder.

Wainwright will be suited by the return to six furlongs after a creditable effort over the minimum trip at this course in handicap company and gets the vote in an ordinary-looking Bet Direct No Q On 08000 936693 Maiden.
