The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

APPLE AWAY kept on improving throughout last season over hurdles and ended the campaign by landing the Sefton at Aintree. Lucinda Russell's mare wasn't disgraced when third in a hot graduation chase at Haydock on her first crack at fences and she has been found a decent opportunity here. Makin'yourmindup shaped as though he would improve from his chasing debut, when fourth at Exeter. He is the most likely to serve it up to the selection because Alaphilippe's jumping let him down at Cheltenham and he has something to prove on his third attempt in this sphere.

An interesting opener as it features smart prospects MAKIN'YOURMINDUP and Apple Away. Both are likely to benefit from their recent first experience of chasing, with the former narrowly preferred for Paul Nicholls.

Apple Away has a good chance at today's weights but MAKIN'YOURMINDUP made a better start to his chasing career.

13:35 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

LORD OF KERAK's fitness would have been tested due to the lack of obstacles on his return at Aintree and he understandably got tired in the closing stages. The drop back in trip is in his favour and a recent wind operation, along with first-time cheekpieces, could help him gain a first success over fences. Happy And Fine ran with encouragement when third at Wetherby on his chasing bow and is capable of taking a step forward, while Kepagge appears best of the remainder.

A dual winner over hurdles last term, HAPPY AND FINE produced a promising first effort in this sphere when third at Wetherby 39 days ago, coping well with the demands of a well-run race against experienced rivals. Open to improvement, he can build on that effort with victory here. Lord of Kerak should be sharper for his Aintree reappearance and rates next best, ahead of Kepagge.

All five runners have something going for them but HAPPY AND FINE was a very creditable third on his chasing debut and appeals most.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

ROYAL MER has risen 5lb for his recent success at Ffos Las and the manner of that performance suggested a step up in trip may yield more improvement from David Pipe's gelding. Justshortofabubble fell at the second-last when leading at Ludlow on his latest start and is expected to be competitive off the same mark, while Val Dancer may benefit from the application of first-time cheekpieces.

ROYAL MER impressed with his attitude as he shed the maiden tag on his first start over fences on these shores at Ffos Las 3 weeks ago, pulling clear with another in-form sort, and he's fancied to make a bold bid again. Justshortofabubble looked set to play a big part in the finish when falling 2 out at Ludlow latest and he's a big threat. Val Dancer can do best of the others.

Justshortofabubble is respected but preference is for ROYAL MER, who did well to master an in-form rival at Ffos Las last month.

Although BENNY SILVER was unable to justify favouritism when third on his chasing bow at Hereford, that was still a respectable effort. The five-year-old is open to plenty of improvement in this sphere but may not even need it to come out on top. Johnny Mac opened his account on stable debut at Hereford a fortnight ago and is unlikely to be far away off only 5lb higher, with Extraordinary Man completing the shortlist.

BENNY SILVER has displayed improved form equipped with a tongue tie/switched to handicaps, not least when third on his chase debut over further at Hereford 3 weeks ago. This drop in trip should hold no fears and he earns the vote with progress likely in this sphere. Recent Hereford scorer Johnny Mac and Howyouplaythegame head up the dangers.

Seemingly revitalised by a stable switch, JOHNNY MAC (nap) appeared to have quite a bit left in the tank when winning at Hereford.

15:05 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

THE EDGAR WALLACE appreciated the return to more forceful tactics when gaining a second success over fences on his reappearance. Although a 7lb rise in the ratings will make life tougher for Kim Bailey's eight-year-old, he appears capable of more and shades the verdict over fellow last-time-out winner Mylesfromwicklow, who is 6lb higher for that Huntingdon defeat of the same rival The Edgar Wallace beat at Wetherby. Ubetya makes most appeal of the remainder.

THE EDGAR WALLACE was clearly well served by a second wind op/refitted tongue tie as he made a winning reappearance at Wetherby 6 weeks ago and in the hope he can hold it together this term, all looks set fair for another bold showing. Mylesfromwicklow had some strong hurdles form to his name and impressed when making a winning chase debut at Huntingdon 18 days ago, so he rates the chief threat.

It might be worth chancing UBETYA, who didn't run badly last month, is suited by slow ground and is well handicapped.

15:35 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

BRULURE NOIRE appeared to score with plenty left in the locker when accounting for No Quarter Asked on his seasonal bow at Ffos Las last month and the six-year-old could make light work of a 5lb rise in the handicap. Clonakilty has undergone a wind procedure since his fourth-placed chase debut at Huntingdon and he may emerge as the chief threat, ahead of Artemis Kimbo, who should appreciate a return to this distance.

BRULURE NOIRE scored with any amount in hand on return from 7 months off at Ffos Las 31 days ago and, with conditions firmly in his favour, he's fancied to defy a 5 lb higher mark. A recent wind op may have benefited Clonakilty and he looks the danger.

A couple of these still have potential but BRULURE NOIRE is the one with least to prove, having won on heavy ground last month.
