Sky Sports Racing's Afternoon Lineup: Exciting Action from Chepstow and Yarmouth

Beyond Aintree, a packed schedule awaits on Sky Sports Racing, featuring two jump and flat meetings to savor. Unbeaten Authodidacte seeks to maintain a perfect record for her current connections in the Tiptop Clean Convenience Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. Having won dual flat races in France and excelled in hurdles at Leicester and Uttoxeter, the Venetia Williams-trained six-year-old returns from a break for her second handicap start. Despite some setbacks in her latest form, she remains a popular choice. Lacrima, making his debut under Nick Scholfield, is an intriguing contender with an unpredictable form, having won his last three starts over fences. Other notable entries include Doctors Hill and The Kemble Brewery, which reverts to hurdles after a November fall. At Yarmouth, Del Maro, a useful three-year-old, leads a field of five in the tigerbet.co.uk National Extra Places Paid Novice Stakes. Trained by Charlie Appleby, Del Maro has shown promise, including a third-place finish behind Derby favorite Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket, and is poised to break his duck under William Buick. Knowledge, having won his debut at Southwell, poses a significant threat as he moves up to 10 furlongs under James Doyle. Florentine Law, a half-brother to three winners, including Marquisat, also shows appeal on his debut. The King's Point Of Law and Juddmonte's Sintra complete the lineup. King Of Thebes is an exciting prospect in the Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Maiden Stakes at Southwell. Purchased for 1.5m guineas as a yearling and gelded ahead of his debut, Charlie Appleby's charge is a half-brother to the useful Morgan Le Faye, raising hopes for a winning start. Roger Varian's Al Azd, rated 83 after five starts, has shown inconsistency but has finished runner-up in his past three outings and steps up a furlong with blinkers. Sailor Song appears to be Charlie Appleby's second-string and, having improved from his debut to chase home High Storm at Doncaster, should give a strong account.
