Sky Sports Racing Highlights: Exciting Action Unfolds at Chepstow and Yarmouth

Beyond Aintree, a thrilling day of racing awaits on Sky Sports Racing, featuring two captivating meetings. Authodidacte, unbeaten under current connections, seeks to extend his winning streak to three in the Tiptop Clean Convenience Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. Trained by Venetia Williams, this six-year-old has demonstrated impressive form, winning on both his hurdle starts at Leicester and Uttoxeter, following dual victories on the flat in France. Returning from a break, Authodidacte will be a popular choice despite his latest form having been somewhat diminished. Lacrima, making his debut under Nick Scholfield, is an intriguing contender, having won his last three starts over fences, making him worth watching in the betting. Other notable entries include Doctors Hill, while The Kemble Brewery reverts to hurdles after a fall over fences in November. Del Maro, a useful three-year-old, heads a field of five in the tigerbet.co.uk National Extra Places Paid Novice Stakes at Yarmouth. Trained by Charlie Appleby, this Camelot son has shown promising form, including a third-place finish behind Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket, making him a strong contender to break his duck under William Buick. Knowledge, having made a winning start to his career at Southwell, poses the main threat as he moves up to 10 furlongs under James Doyle. Florentine Law, a half-brother to three winners, including Marquisat, is another appealing debutant. The field is completed by The King's Point Of Law and Juddmonte's Sintra. 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, Charlie Appleby's charge has been gelded ahead of his debut run and, as a half-brother to the useful Morgan Le Faye, hopes are high 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 the second-string for Charlie Appleby and Toby Moore, having shown improvement from his debut to finish second to High Storm at Doncaster last month, and with that rival now rated 85, he is expected to give a good account.
