First 4 bets are the best bets from the trainers and the rest are for guys who are having a few bets in the pub today, good luck.

TQ VIEW EACH WAY: 1.15 Cheltenham: GA LAW (E.W.) - Jamie Snowden runs his two star chasers here today and Ga Law may have the better chance in a tough handicap. Back at the distance of the Paddy Power Gold Cup which he won last season, he showed signs of a revival when running well for a long time in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury.

TONY NB: Destroytheevidence 14.40 Doncaster Kim Bailey hasn't been in the greatest of form lately but Destroytheevidence can provide a Grade 2 win against a field where several have similar credentials. Kim's gelding, though, has had plenty of experience and you could imagine him pulling out extra all the way up Doncaster's demanding home straight.

TONY NAP: Famous Bridge 15.15 Doncaster Nicky Richards has had his team in great form all through the winter and Famous Bridge has contributed two nice wins to the tally. The winner of both his starts, over Haydock's demanding three miles, he is up another 4lb for the hat-trick attempt but should manage it.

TQ VIEW BEST BET: 5.30 Kempton: SUSPICION - Ollie Sangster hasn't run many horses this year, but Floating Voter won a race last week and the 3yo Suspicion makes his debut tonight. His start has been delayed by injury, but he reportedly goes nicely and can give the Godolphin duo something to think about.

11:50, Doncaster

Nicky Richards

Nells Son

Dec Odds: 10 (BetFair Exchange)

Nells Son seemed to get bogged down in the heavy ground at Wetherby when an odds-on shot but well behind our other horse Findthetime. I've been waiting for better ground and just hope it's not too good. He's well though and I'm hopeful he can return with a big performance.

12:20, Doncaster

B. F. Brookhouse

Ragosina

Dec Odds: 75 (BetFair Exchange)

On reflection. Ragosina wasn't right when we took her to Newbury. She's back in good form and stayed on well over 2m reverting to the AW at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. The ground should suit and she could well outrun her odds. She'll need to if she's going to collect some black type, which is today's main aim.

12:40, Cheltenham

Ben Pauling

Bowtogreatness

Dec Odds: 32 (BetFair Exchange)

Bowrogreatness needed the run badly at Newbury after eight months off the track. He was too keen and as a result, his jumping wasn't as good as normal. He's much straighter today and I think he'll outrun his odds.

12:55, Doncaster

Henry Oliver

The Big Bite

Dec Odds: 48 (BetFair Exchange)

The Big Bite last ran over hurdles almost five years ago, but we're using this race as a confidence boost after pulling up the last twice over fences. His mark is high enough, but we'd just like to see him complete and come back safely.

13:15, Cheltenham

Jamie Snowden

Ga Law

Dec Odds: 8 (BetFair Exchange)

Ga Law had a long time off the track after his excellent novice chase season but bounced back in great style last winter, winning the Paddy Power Gold Cup over this CD and then would probably have won the Skybet Chase at Doncaster bar falling at the final fence. He has struggled slightly since then but showed in the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury that the spark is still there. He finished 7th to stablemate Datsalrightgino but didn't quite stay. Back to 2m4f on a track he likes and on drying ground, he has to be a factor but it is seriously competitive.

12:55, Doncaster

Fergal O'Brien

Punctuation

Dec Odds: 8 (BetFair Exchange)

Punctuation won a valuable handicap hurdle at Aintree's big meeting in April and then returned to the flat for a decisive win here in October. He ran better than the finishing position suggested at Cheltenham on his jumps comeback and must have a big chance on a track that suits him so well.

12:55, Doncaster

Charlie Longsdon

Alien Storm

Dec Odds: 11.5 (BetFair Exchange)

Alien Storm fell on his comeback this season but ran on well to be 6th at Cheltenham in October. If he improves by a similar amount he can be involved in the finish here.

12:55, Doncaster

Fergal O'Brien

Wolf Prince

Dec Odds: 28 (BetFair Exchange)

Wolf Prince joins Punctuation in this and returns after almost 18 months off the track. He was running well when last seen but will probably be better for the run.

13:15, Cheltenham

Warren Greatrex

Bill Baxter

Dec Odds: 14 (BetFair Exchange)

Bil Baxter finished off a good season in 2022-23 by winning the Topham at Aintree in April but has struggled a shade this time around. Reverting to this shorter trip after fading in the Coral Gold Cup, could be interesting.

13:23, Uttoxeter

Kim Bailey

Killigarth

Dec Odds: 85 (BetFair Exchange)

This is the third run for Killigarth so after today he should be eligible for a handicap mark. This big home-bred is very much a future chaser.

13:30, Doncaster

Ben Pauling

Fiercely Proud

Dec Odds: 6.6 (BetFair Exchange)

Fiercely Proud is in great order. Obviously, the Henderson horse comes here with a huge reputation but Fiercely Proud did everything wrong at Taunton and still got the job done. Can give the favourire a tough race.

13:30, Doncaster

Nicky Richards

The Kalooki Kid

Dec Odds: 28 (BetFair Exchange)

The Kalooki Kid will be one of the outsiders here as the Henderson hotpot is clearly the one to beat. Our boy is a lovely horse who is improving, and like most of the opposition, will be fighting for 2nd place. He couldn't be in better order at home.

14:40, Doncaster

Kim Bailey

Destroytheevidence

Today's TQ View Each

Way

Dec Odds: 5.4 (BetFair Exchange)

Destroytheevidence has had a really good season so far, winning three and last time he was an excellent 2nd in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham. This has been his aim for a while and he must have a great chance of going close.

13:50, Cheltenham

Jamie Snowden

Datsalrightgino

Dec Odds: 6.4 (BetFair Exchange)

Datsalrightgino had a good novice season's chasing and after a nice warm-up in the Old Roan at Aintree, he proved himself a proper staying chaser when winning the Coral Gold Cup at Newbury early last month. He's up 11lb for that and this Grade 2 level weights contest has been the target ever since. He's unexposed over this sort of trip and should run well but needs to show he is up to this calibre of race.

14:25, Cheltenham

Gary Moore

Editeur Du Gite

Dec Odds: 8.8 (BetFair Exchange)

We were thrilled when Editeur Du Gite bounced back to his formidable self at Kempton over Christmas, completing the Desert Orchid Chase double. Last year he followed it by beating Edwardstone and Energumene in this race which as now has been passed on from Ascot to Cheltenham. Those two aren't here this time, instead it's Jonbon whose reputation we are aiming at. Marvellous if he does it; no problem if he's second - he owes us nothing!

15:15, Doncaster

Nicky Richards

Famous Bridge

Today's TQ View

Dec Odds: 9.8 (BetFair Exchange)

Famous Bridge has done everything we've asked of him this season and is in great order at home too. I'm slightly worried about the ground but he is very progressive and we're hopeful he can complete the hat-trick in a tough handicap.

15:35, Cheltenham

Gary Moore

Botox Has

Dec Odds: 8.6 (BetFair Exchange)

Botox Has beat Drashel Dasher at Wetherby for a first Graded win in November, but was only 6th in the Long Walk at Ascot behind three of these, Paisley Park (2nd), Drashel Dasher (3rd) and Champ (4th). Those three have been around at this level for some time and our boy has just joined the club this season. Don't be shocked if he gets in amongst them this time.

15:43, Uttoxeter

Charlie Longsdon

Well Dick

Dec Odds: 5.7 (BetFair Exchange)

Will Dick stayed on strongly to win a novice over three miles on this course last season. He stretches out even further for this handicap debut and carries a big weight. He handles soft ground so has to be fancied to go close. Hopeful.

15:43, Uttoxeter

Henry Oliver

Mister Bo

Dec Odds: 32 (BetFair Exchange)

Mister Bo joined from Henry De Bromhread in the autumn. He didn't get home in either of his starts for us, pulling up each time, and we'll be looking for him to last much longer now.

15:43, Uttoxeter

Kim Bailey

Phantom Getaway

Dec Odds: 9.2 (BetFair Exchange)

Phantom Getaway has shown plenty at home but as yet not this season on the racecourse. A hurdle and point-to-point winner, he seems well at home and we're hoping for a turn-around of this season's form.

15:50, Doncaster

Fergal O'Brien

Young Buster

Dec Odds: 5.8 (BetFair Exchange)

Young Buster has won twice at Kelso this season, completing the hat-trick having won at Warwick in May. He's a full 21lb higher now, but he knows how to win and must rate as an each-way chance.

16:10, Cheltenham

Fergal O'Brien

Moon D'Orange

Dec Odds: 60 (BetFair Exchange)

Moon D'Orange has joined us from John McConnell in Ireland. He has been in the frame in his last three but where that puts him in this Grade 2, we'll find out today.

16:45, Newcastle

Micky Hammond

Mayjority

Dec Odds: 6 (BetFair Exchange)

Before joining us in December, Mayjority hadn't finished in the first six in any of his five races. We've brought him to this track twice and he finished 3rd at 80/1 staying well, then 4th at 12/1 when his rider may have been expecting too drastic a response after the previous time. Billy Geraghty will be positive on him today. He had his apprenticeship with us and also rode from here as a conditional over jumps, so I think he knows what works for us. Hopeful.

17:30, Kempton Park

Ollie Sangster

Suspicion

Suspicion is quite a nice horse who would have been on the track much earlier but he had a setback and missed the summer. He'll probably be green and the outside draw is never ideal the first time, but I think he should have an each-way chance.

17:45, Newcastle

Dylan Cunha

Havana Smoke

Dec Odds: 7.4 (BetFair Exchange)

Havana Smoke has been unlucky the last twice and could have won both if thongs had gone his way. He's very well at home and I'll be disappointed if he doesn't win this time. It's unusual to say this, but Luke could do with a winner back here after his spell in Japan. Havana Smoke will get all his attention!

19:30, Kempton Park

Ian Williams

Oneforthegutter

Dec Odds: 7 (BetFair Exchange)

Oneforthegutter started 2023 on a mark of 90. Ten races later, which featured a win at Ascot's Shergar Cup, and on his last run in late December in a good handicap at Southwell, he ended on the same figure. He begins the new campaign with a good chance, up only 3lb for the Southwell win, at the ideal 1m4f trip and with leading jockey David Probert in the saddle.

20:00, Kempton Park

Roger Teal

Profitar Rules

Dec Odds: 9.8 (BetFair Exchange)

Profitar Rules made a promising start to life with us when 4th at Wolverhampton two weeks ago. Only low in the handicap, he showed enough that day to suggest a win in a low-grade affair like tonight's may not be beyond him.

Thanks for the AW pointers, I'll have a look.
