We have a busy day's racing on Sunday with action from Ascot and Doncaster, live on Sky Sports Racing...
3.05 Ascot - Munsif and Senator contest competitive juvenile hurdle
A competitive Sodexo Live! Juvenile Handicap Hurdle where Munsif tops a field of 13 at Ascot.
Charles Byrnes' charge has failed to score in four outings over hurdles but shaped well on several occasions and providing there is not too much rain he could go close now tackling handicap company.
- Job done! Constitution Hill makes it a perfect two from two on the Flat
- Sir Gino dies after 'severe deep-seated infections'
Senator saw off the reopposing Macshadow Des Crai in a maiden hurdle at Market Rasen and both make their handicap debuts off fair marks.
Innamorato and Cayman Dancer look best of the rest.
5.15 Doncaster - Fine Interview, Korker and Dark Thirty clash
An excellent renewal of this classy William Hill Each Way Extra Handicap sees 20 runners go to post over six furlongs.
Dark Thirty makes his debut for the Quinn team having claimed this race last year when in the care of Richard Hannon. He is 4lb higher but must have each-way claims if ready to roll on this seasonal return.
Korker tops the weights for Karl Burke and Pierre-Louis Jamin and must have strong claims on the pick of his form. Rated much higher in the past, he often runs well in defeat but is worth a second look in a contest have might be run to suit.
The Hamad Al Jehani-trained Fine Interview is a dual course and distance winner and he would be dangerous if the ground softens.
4.05 Doncaster - Lightly-raced Port Of London headlines
Progressive Port Of London will be fancied to go well in a strong William Hill NRMB On The Grand National Handicap.
John and Thady Gosden's four-year-old made it two wins from four all-weather starts when winning at Lingfield in December. That was his first start after a gelding operation, and he rates the one to beat as he tackles the turf.
Atherstone Warrior tops a long list of alternatives. The Gary and Josh Moore-trained four-year-old enjoyed a fruitful campaign last season and his fine third in the November Handicap here would give him obvious claims as he drops back to a mile and a quarter.
Others to consider include UK debutant Ashnak, while Ian Williams' Harvey might have some improvement in him.
Best of the rest
4.50 Ascot - Copperhead contests Veterans Chase.
5.25 Ascot - Hot race with Brave Knight and Afadil involved.
