SECRETFACT had no luck at Windsor last week but can put that right with a triumphant return to his happy hunting ground at Bath

Malcolm Saunders' sprinter could not get a clear run at a crucial stage of a five-furlong dash but was still only beaten three and a half lengths when sixth to Stepper Point.

All things considered that was a decent effort as it was his first run since September when he won two races at the Somerset track.

He can strike there for a third time in the myracing.com Free Horse Racing Tips Handicap.

Mornington is fancied to register a second career success in the myracing,com Free Bets And Tips Handicap after losing his maiden tag at Brighton two weeks ago.

The Marcus Tregoning-trained four-year-old has been a slow developer but it looks like he is getting his act together and he can only keep on improving as he has just had the four starts.

Richard Hannon (pictured) had another option in the myracing.com Novice Median Auction Stakes but has plumped for newcomer Ghepardo, who might give likely favourite Rock Of Estonia something to think about, while Compton Prince is worth a look in the sprint that opens the card.

Lime And Lemon looks set to strike for Clive Cox in the Collect Totepool Winnings At Betfred Shops Handicap at Windsor.

The four-year-old filly showed her turn might be near when staying on into fifth place in a 19-runner handicap at Doncaster a month ago. This slightly longer trip can eke out a little improvement.

Harlequin Storm has run well enough in three maiden contests this year to suggest he can make his mark and he is worth a chance in the Totepool Racecourse Apple Pay Betting Handicap.

Billy Roberts showed a willing attitude when springing a 25-1 surprise at Pontefract recently and can show that success was no fluke by taking the Beverley Annual Badgeholders Handicap.

The handicapper has put Richard Guest's four-year-old up 4lb for that effort but it may not be enough to stop the Multiplex gelding from going in again.

A Little Magic is the one to beat in the feature Smarter Bets With Matchbook Handicap Chase at Kempton, one of two meetings over jumps in the UK as the summer campaign gets under way.

The six-year-old, trained by Jonjo O'Neill, has looked a progressive sort with three victories in the last season at Huntingdon, Catterick and Market Rasen. There is no reason why he cannot keep on improving.

O'Neill can also strike at the Sunbury track with For Instance in the Better Odds With Matchbook 'National Hunt' Novices' Hurdle.

The seven-year-old showed he had benefited from a five-month break when scoring at Wetherby recently. There is surely more to come from him, too.

There is also National Hunt racing at Warwick where Dan Skelton will be looking to start the new campaign as well as he ended the last.

The Alcester trainer enjoyed his winning-most season and can kick the new one off with Ashoka in the Watch Racing UK On Sky Channel 432 Handicap Hurdle.

The five-year-old grey has been in the form of his life with two victories in quick succession at Stratford and Exeter and has every chance of completing the hat-trick.

Minding, one of the stars of last year, can make a winning return in the Group Two Camelot Irish EBF Mooresbridge Stakes at Naas.

Aidan O'Brien's filly is versatile and can take this before looking at major prizes in the summer.
