13:55 Thu 11 April 2024 RACE BY RACE SOUTHWELL SPECIALS @planetsportbet HANDICAP (5) Distance 4f 214y Prize £3,716 Age 3yo Surface Artificial Runners 8 Going Standard BE HERE NOW overcame a troubled passage to collar a next-time-out winner at Newcastle last month so a 4 lb rise doesn’t look enough to prevent him following up. Kempton maiden winner Mutasawi may give him most to do ahead of Split The Profit, who went close over C&D on his penultimate start.
13:45 Thu 11 April 2024 CLOSE BROTHERS MANIFESTO NOVICES’ CHASE (Grade 1) (1) Distance 2m 3f 200y Prize £67,524 Race State Declaration Going Soft (Heavy in places), National: Heavy (Soft in places) A mouth-watering curtain-raiser to the 2024 Grand National Festival which sees GREY DAWNING and Ginny’s Destiny lock horns for a third time over fences and, with the state of play currently tied at one-all, Dan Skelton’s 7-y-o is strongly fancied to tilt the scales in his favour with the heavy rain forecasted only enhancing his claims. Irish-raider Il Etait Temps can fill out third provided he keeps jumping errors to a minimum.
20:30 Wed 10 April 2024 BET @ racingtv.com HANDICAP (6) Distance 1m 3f 219y Prize £3,140 Age 4yo+ Surface Artificial Runners 13 Going Standard / Slow DEVIZES is on an eye-catching mark and surely would’ve finished closer than fifth granted more luck in running over C&D last month, so gets the verdict over Fravanco, who was beaten only by one on a roll here last time. Nivelle’s Magic also shaped well when finishing one place ahead of the selection last time and is another to merit respect.
