CHARISMATIC MAN let down his supporters as a short-priced favourite last time out but should be given chance to redeem himself in the Betway Handicap at Wolverhampton's evening meeting.

The four-year-old is a full-brother to 2011 French Derby hero Reliable Man, so one would perhaps have expected him to be a good deal better than this class four affair.

Yet after two unsuccessful starts in France for Alain de Royer-Dupre in 2015, Charismatic Man crossed the Channel to join Ralph Beckett and has managed to make much more of an impact in Britain.

While his initial run at Newmarket promised little, he stepped up on that to win a modest 12-furlong handicap at Wolverhampton in November before just being edged into second at Lingfield at the end of December.

Stepped up to two miles and racing off an 8lb higher mark, Charismatic Man was just caught in the dying strides, going down by a head.

A lack of stamina did not appear to be the problem on that occasion, so sticking to two miles here makes sense.

Another 4lb rise is not ideal but Charismatic Man appears to be a horse who is still on the upgrade and relatively unexposed for this sort of grade. Patrick O'Donnell rides today's nap selection.

CAPTAIN SWIFT has a liking for Dunstall Park and can get his head in front again in the Betway App Classified Claiming Stakes under Graham Lee.

He had to settle for second when last seen but had previously hit the target at this track, where he seems to really thrive on the Tapeta surface, and sticks at just short of a mile and six again.

WHAT USAIN can snap a losing streak that stretches back to June 2015 by winning the closing sunbets.co.uk Handicap with Luke Morris on board at Southwell.

A three-times winner for Geoff Oldroyd, What Usain subsequently moved to the care of David O'Meara but made no impression in five starts before moving on again to Michael Appleby's yard.

What Usain showed a glimpse of promise on his debut for new connections in December and his second place earlier this month suggests he can get back on the winning trail.

DON BERSY created a minor surprise when winning at Sandown and he can keep up the good work in the opening Cameron Smart Rainbow Race Juvenile Hurdle at Warwick.

Second on his only hurdles outing in France, Tom Symonds' charge tipped up on his British bow at Warwick in December before bouncing back in Esher at the start of the month.

Coeur De Lion was sent off the 1-3 favourite for that race but had no answers as Don Bersy stayed on all the way to the line to fend off his challenge by a length and a half.

Connections are eager to take a low-key route with this Califet gelding, with Cheltenham likely to be bypassed in favour of a trip to Haydock, possibly on the way to Aintree.

Wherever he ends up, Don Bersy is the one to be with as Aidan Coleman tackles today's ride.

AL REESHA obviously has a fair way to go before justifying her entry for the Grade One Mares' Hurdle at Cheltenham.

Yet the fact she is even considered of that calibre is a clue in itself for the following 188bet.co.uk EBF Mares' "National Hunt" Novices' Hurdle.

A bumper winner at Ayr last February, Al Reesha was then off the track until making her hurdles bow at Fakenham in October.

She looked a nice prospect when winning by two-and-a-quarter lengths and while the top level is a huge leap away, victory here with Harry Skelton at the helm can put her in the frame for some decent novice events.

DOLATULO'S jockey slipped up at Carlisle but compensation awaits in the 188BET Willoughby De Broke Open Hunters' Chase.

His rider mistook the winning post and eased down a stride or two early in Cumbria – and while you cannot say for certain if he would have caught the winner, he was finishing with a real rattle and was just a length and a quarter away in second.

WINGS ATTRACT can prove the most determined in the Wendling Handicap Chase at Fakenham.

The eight-year-old had to settle for second at Doncaster last time but looked a bit unlucky as he was twice impeded by a loose horse and was only actually caught in the dying strides.

That marked a big step up on his recent form and bodes well for his chances under Tom Cannon here.
