Sky Sports Racing Highlights: Afternoon Action from Chepstow and Yarmouth

Beyond Aintree, Sky Sports Racing offers an exciting afternoon with two jump and flat meetings. Authodidacte, unbeaten for current connections, aims for a third win in the Tiptop Clean Convenience Handicap Hurdle at Chepstow. The Venetia Williams-trained six-year-old has won twice on the flat in France and has adapted well to hurdles, winning at Leicester and Uttoxeter. Returning from a break, Authodidacte is a popular choice despite some knocks to the form of her latest start. Lacrima makes a fascinating debut for Nick Scholfield, with form that's hard to gauge after winning three starts over fences. Other notable contenders include Doctors Hill and The Kemble Brewery, which reverts to hurdles after a fall in November. At Yarmouth, Del Maro leads a field of five in the tigerbet.co.uk National Extra Places Paid Novice Stakes. Trained by Charlie Appleby, this useful three-year-old ran solid races last season and is set to break his duck under William Buick. Knowledge, who won his career start at Southwell, poses a threat under James Doyle, while Florentine Law appeals on debut as a half-brother to three winners. 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, he is a half-brother to the useful Morgan Le Faye. Roger Varian's Al Azd, rated 83 after five starts, steps up a furlong with blinkers, while Sailor Song looks like the second-string for Charlie Appleby and Toby Moore, having improved from his debut to finish runner-up at Doncaster.
