16:30 Newcastle – MIDNIGHT LION (2/1) MIDNIGHT LION looks primed to resume winning ways here and might still be underestimated by the market despite his current price.

14:25 Taunton – Arthur & Peggy White Memorial Handicap Chase In a race where the market seems to have latched onto the right horses at the top, STORMY FLIGHT stands out as an interesting proposition that might still be underestimated at current odds.

13:55 Taunton – ADMIRALTY HOUSE (Value Play) This looks like a fiercely competitive handicap hurdle, but ADMIRALTY HOUSE catches the eye as a standout value proposition at current odds.

13:25 Taunton – Novices’ Hurdle (4) This looks a competitive novice hurdle, but the market might be underestimating the prospects of GO WEST (5/2). While NOT SO WOOLLY and JURANCON dominate the betting, GO WEST has shown significant improvement since his hurdling debut, winning comfortably at Fakenham.
