Sky Sports Racing: Exciting Action Unfolds at Chepstow and Yarmouth

Beyond Aintree, a thrilling day of racing awaits on Sky Sports Racing, featuring two jump and flat meetings. At Chepstow, the unbeaten Authodidacte seeks to extend her winning streak to three for her current connections in the Tiptop Clean Convenience Handicap Hurdle. This six-year-old, trained by Venetia Williams, has previously secured dual wins on the flat in France and has adapted remarkably to hurdles, winning convincingly at Leicester and Uttoxeter. Returning from a break, she is set to make her second handicap start and remains a popular choice despite some setbacks in her recent form. 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 mentions include Doctors Hill and The Kemble Brewery, who reverts to hurdles after a fall over fences in November. At Yarmouth, the talented three-year-old Del Maro leads a field of five in the tigerbet.co.uk National Extra Places Paid Novice Stakes. Trained by Charlie Appleby, this son of Camelot has shown promising performances last season, including a third-place finish behind Derby favourite Pierre Bonnard in the Zetland Stakes at Newmarket, which positions him well for a maiden win under William Buick. Knowledge, having made a winning debut at Southwell, poses a significant threat as he moves up to 10 furlongs under James Doyle. Additionally, Florentine Law, a half-brother to three winners, including Marquisat, appeals on his debut, alongside The King's Point Of Law and Juddmonte's Sintra, completing the field. In the Book The Bistro In Sherwood Restaurant Maiden Stakes at Southwell, King Of Thebes emerges as an exciting prospect. Purchased for 1.5m guineas as a yearling and gelded ahead of his debut, he 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, the second-string for Charlie Appleby and Toby Moore, has improved from his debut and, following his performance at Doncaster last month, is expected to give a good account.
