We have racing from both codes this Thursday with Bangor-on-Dee and ParisLongchamp hosting competitive action, live on Sky Sports Racing...

6.40 Bangor-on-Dee - Some Scope, Big City Roller and Erne River clash

Some Scope has enjoyed a mixed season, winning the Rowland Meyrick at Wetherby over Christmas before struggling to land a blow on his subsequent three starts. Richard Hobson's seven-year-old is just one pound higher than that previous success, and a return to form cannot be ruled out in the Good Luck Wrexham A.F.C Handicap Chase with Freddie Mitchell claiming three-pounds.

Erne River ran a creditable third in a hot Aintree handicap on his last start and a similar effort should see him involved here.

7.10 Bangor-on-Dee - Fandabidozi and Dance And Glance feature

The Gary Hanmer-trained Fandabidozi doubled his tally over hurdles when landing a course and distance event earlier this month, and a five-pound penalty might not stop him following up in the Bangor-On-Dee Congratulates Champion Jockey Sean Bowen Handicap Hurdle.

Dance And Glance showed a likeable attitude when seeing off Fasol at Taunton last month and, providing a sound surface, he can go close on this handicap debut.

4.13 ParisLongchamp - Zalari and Epson Blue Cen seek Listed prize

The Prix du Pont Neuf looks a cracking Listed affair where the in-form Francis Henri Graffard saddles Zalari. A son of Kodiac, he stepped forward from his debut to win impressively at Chantilly and deserves a crack at this company.

Epson Blue Cen is another who heads up in class after winning nicely on his first start for trainer Henri-Francois Devin. He showed a good level of form as a two-year-old and will be hoping to gain some black type.

Andre Fabre's maiden winner Tolebi rates best of the rest.
