2.15 Bangor-on-Dee - Exciting Planters Punch returns

The exciting Planters Punch returns for the Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk EBF Junior "National Hunt" Hurdle at Bangor, having been off the track since winning at Hereford in early November.

Nicky Henderson's four-year-old is very lightly raced but the aforementioned win was enough to show he possesses a serious level of ability, given he downed Aqua Bleu who has since come out to win three times. The last of those victories saw Aqua Bleu dispatch Merci Mam, earning him a rating of 126.

In opposition, the consistent Molly's Lad enters calculations for Fergal O'Brien having placed in three of his last four starts. The Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero combination saddle Masterfield and Crack Ops, while Mistral St Georges was bang in contention on hurdling debut before falling two out at Newbury. He remains an unknown quantity for Georgina Nicholls.

7.30 Wolverhampton - Kolkata Knight and Simplify head field

The Daily Profit Boosts At betmgm.co.uk Handicap sees two previous winners Kolkata Knight and Simplify lock horns at Dunstall Park.

Tom Dascombe's freshly-gelded runner Kolkata Knight comes here after winning at Haydock last September - his second success from five starts. He showed a decent level of juvenile form last year, including when he was in behind the likes of Gstaad at Royal Ascot. If he has wintered well he should naturally improve from two to three following his operation.
