First up today is the Jeremy Scott-trained Pyleigh Lass (14.35), who makes her handicap debut off a fair-looking mark at Wincanton this afternoon. Pyleigh Lass showed promise in a pair of bumpers last season and put in a much better effort over hurdles when second to Holywell in a maiden at Chepstow last month. The step up in trip should suit and she is still unexposed.

Next up is Tarquinius (15:10), who resumed winning ways when easily landing a similar event at Lingfield in February by 13 lengths from Guydus. The handicapper has subsequently put him up 13 lb for that success, which of course makes life tougher, but he should be suited by longer trip at Wincanton today and remains well treated on some of his past form.

Last but by no means least we come to Douze Points (19:50), who makes his first start for John Butler at Wolverhampton this evening. Whilst Douze Points' recent efforts have not been too encouraging, his new trainer often does well with horses of a similar profile and he would not have to be anywhere near his best to be competitive off a mark off a career-low BHA rating of 48, given that he ran well off a much higher marks at times last year.

Back Pyleigh Lass @ 2.98 in the 14:35 at Wincanton
Back Tarquinius @ 2.86 in the 15:10 at Wincanton
Back Douze Points @ 4.2 in the 19:50 at Wolverhampton
