Unbeaten Authodidacte bids to make a perfect three from three for current connections in the Tiptop Clean Convenience Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow.

She returns from a break on her second handicap start and will be popular despite the form of her latest start having suffered a few knocks.
Lacrima is a fascinating contender on debut for Nick Scholfield. His form is hard to gauge, winning his last three starts over fences and he is worth a watch in the betting.
Others to note include Doctors Hill, while The Kemble Brewery reverts to hurdles having fallen over fences here in November.
2.37 Yarmouth - Classy Del Maro takes on unexposed rivals

Florentine Law is a half-brother to three winners including Marquisat and is another who appeals on debut. The King's Point Of Law and Juddmonte's Sintra complete the field.
5.45 Southwell - Well-bred King Of Thebes debuts for Godolphin
King Of Thebes rates an exciting prospect in the Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Maiden Stakes at Southwell.
Charlie Appleby's charge cost a whopping 1.5m guineas as a yearling and has been gelded ahead of this debut run. He is a half-brother to the useful Morgan Le Faye, and hopes will be high that he can make a winning start.
Roger Varian's Al Azd, rated 83 after five starts, has not always looked the most straightforward. He has finished runner-up on his past three outings and steps up a furlong with the blinkers booked again.
Sailor Song looks the second-string for Charlie Appleby and Toby Moore. He stepped forward from his debut to chase home High Storm at Doncaster last month and with that rival now rated 85, he should give a good account.
