Racing tips: National service for best in West

Uttoxeter is one of several venues on a busy day for racing tomorrow

Big River was also entered in the Midlands National, but Lucinda Russell has opted to run in the Betfred Supports Jack Berry House Novices’ Handicap Chase instead and the hint should be taken.

At Kempton, Cresswell Legend can make his mark in the Matchbook Racing Is Commission Free Silver Plate Handicap Hurdle.

Patricks Park missed out at Cheltenham but the Matchbook Silver Bowl Handicap Chase looks an excellent opportunity.

Copain De Classe had a school around Fontwell last time as his sole rival ditched his rider early on, but he can build on that performance in the Matchbook VIP Chase.

There are a handful of decent events on offer at Wolverhampton with Abe Lincoln an eyecatching runner in the opening Betway Casino Handicap.

Breathless Times did the business over six furlongs at Dunstall Park in January and he can make it a course-and-distance double in the Betway Sprint Novice Stakes.
