FLORAMOSS finished third in a bumper which has worked out well and might be worth chancing in the At The Races Sky 415 Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Hexham.

That race was won by Irish Roe, who went on to dead-heat in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham afterwards.

Floramoss was some 13 lengths adrift, which does not suggest she is a certainty by any means – but in a race of this level, it is just about the best form on offer. John Dawson tide's today's nap selection.

MY LITTLE CRACKER should improve for his first outing of the season in the Attheraces Virgin 535 Novices' Handicap Chase.

Twice a winner last season for trainer Iain Jardine, he has dropped back down to a winnable mark. He cut little ice on his comeback but, with more give in the ground, he will be more at home. Brian Harding has the ride.

THEDRINKYMEISTER ended last season in great heart and, with Kim Bailey's horses generally running well, he should go close under David Bass in the Follow @attheraces On Twitter Handicap Chase.

TOWERING is not one of Nicky Henderson's stable stars but he has been placed to good effect and that looks the case again in the Advent Handicap Hurdle at Leicester.

Owned by Middleham Park Racing, he has a win at Cheltenham to his name – which always takes some doing – and he can compete in this lower level off just a 2lb higher mark.

Last seen finishing third to The Tourard Man in a decent heat at Warwick, a reproduction of that with Jeremiah McGrath on board should be just about good enough.

CONSTANTINO should run well in the opening Sun Bets Bet £10 Get £20 Free Handicap at Lingfield if the lack of a recent run does not find him out.

Richard Fahey's three-year-old has not run since June but he has some strong form in the book in the context of this race.

He beat Weekend Offender as a juvenile, who now has a rating of 89, while first time out this year he was not disgraced in a hot handicap at York won by Castle Harbour before going on to run well at Haydock.

Last sighted at Doncaster, it looked like something could have gone wrong as he was difficult to keep straight and has not run since.

Still a colt, he should be ready to run coming out of Musley Bank and a mark of 80 may underestimate him. Jack Garritty is today's pilot.

When John Ryan books jockey Adam Kirby it is usually worth taking note and that is the case with MERCY ME in the first division of the Betway Handicap.

A winner under Kirby in October, he struggled off a mark of 70 just 12 days later. Given a break since, the fact he is fresher may work in his favour this time.

SENTINEL looks interesting in the opening 32Red On The App Store Maiden Stakes at Kempton, where Stevie Donohoe takes the reins.

Charlie Fellowes sent him to Doncaster for his debut and he was quietly fancied for what looked a hot event.

As he is from the family of Soviet Song, more could have been expected of him than the 10th place he eventually registered.

He shaped better at Kempton last time out when showing a bit of promise, although he looked far from a certain future winner.

It is slightly surprising he is not stepping up in trip but, with those two runs under his belt, he could spring a little surprise.
