Bobby Kennard, an unlucky loser at Wolverhampton a week ago, can make amends at the same course in the Bet Direct On ITV Page 367 Handicap over two miles this afternoon.

Jamie Osborne has his yard in good form and the progressive three-year-old did particularly well to finish as close as he did to Raise A Melody over course and distance on that occasion.

Raise A Melody got first run on my selection that day but Bobby Kennard, who got messed about in running, made up a tremendous amount of ground in the last quarter mile to get within a length of that rival.

His rider will no doubt have him a bit closer to the pace this time and he's taken to beat River Of Fire and Bold Ewar.

Nick Littmoden, last winter's champion all-weather trainer, looks to have chances of further success at this course with George Stubbs in the betdirect.co.uk handicap over a mile.

This will be his first run for the Newmarket trainer but he is at the top of his game, having run Bathwick Bruce to a neck over the same trip at Lingfield last time.

There will be no problems with this slower surface.

Following sprinters in form is usually a good idea and Sundried Tomato makes plenty of appeal in the Watch American Racing On Sky 418 Handicap over six furlongs.

Peter Hiatt's three-year-old is at the top of his game and he ran at his best when taking a competitive five-furlong handicap on bad ground at Doncaster last time.

He's equally as effective on Fibresand and he's preferred to Bella Chica, who is having his first run for Ian Semple, and John Balding's Winning Pleasure.

Humouresque created a very favourable impression on his debut at Leicester and will take all the beating in division one of the TV Betting On attheraces Median Auction Maiden.

This well- bred sort is likely to be all the better for this outing and can boost his trainer's excellent strike rate at this course.

At Folkestone, Ivanoph makes plenty of appeal in the Daily Mail Handicap Chase over two miles.

Although he's unraced this term he's from an in-form stable and his front-running style will make him very hard to peg back .

He's the sort to improve this term and the booking of Ruby Walsh is always a significant one. He's taken to beat Flinders Chase.

Nicholls can also be on the mark with Bunratty Castle, a winner at Stratford on his reappearance, in the Daily Mail Novices' Chase over two miles and five furlongs.
