RAAJIL (7.00 Wolverhampton, nap)

He showed promise on debut and stepped up to score nicely on his first all-weather start at Southwell last month. This trip suits and there’s a lot more to come.

STRATAGEM (3.30 Hereford, nb)

He has been more than holding his own in decent handicaps and should be much too strong dropping to Hunter Chase level for galloping dentist jockey/owner David Maxwell.

BLACK POPPY (1.00 Hereford, treble)

He was a solid second in stronger company than this at Kempton on Boxing Day. He has enough zip for this trip goes handicapping from what looks a fair opening mark.
