Inside Line: Francina can shine for Jamie Snowden at Fakenham

Francina is fancied to prevail in the Greene King Ice Breaker Fillies’ Junior “National Hunt” Hurdle at Fakenham for the in-form trainer Jamie Snowden.

A sibling of four winners, including the useful Favorite Moon, she shaped with plenty of promise when second at Hereford on last month’s racecourse bow.

Templier is also fancied on the same card. He may now be a 10-year-old but he finished last season in fine form, securing a March double at Sedgefield and Ffos Las before a final outing at Market Rasen may have just come too soon.

Although he has tended to need a run or two to get going in the past, Sarah Humphrey may be keener to hit the ground running this term in the Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk Handicap Chase just in case Father Time does start to catch up with him.

Mount Olympus is an interesting recruit to the National Hunt sphere in the Bet & Watch At Planetsportbet.com Maiden Hurdle at Hereford.

Alan King’s five-year-old scored three times on the level this term, obliging at Kempton, Leicester and Goodwood, and looks the type to do well at this game.

Jigginstown King showed a great attitude when completing a hat-trick at Stratford last month and is taken to keep the winning run going in the Jackson Property Novices’ Handicap Chase.

Aldsworth was well backed on his first outing for Robbie Llewellyn and was still in front and going well when coming a cropper at the second-last.

The five-year-old had hinted at ability when with the aforementioned King and compensation hopefully awaits in the Bet £10 Get £10 At Planetsportbet Handicap Hurdle.

Dubai Melody may have caught a tartar when chasing home Love Dynasty first time out at Newmarket and is unlikely to meet anything of that calibre in Wolverhampton’s Bet £10 Get £40 At BetMGM Fillies’ Novice Stakes.

James Doyle rides for Charlie Appleby, as he does in the preceding BetUK. Home Of The Acca-Fenwa Maiden Stakes aboard Nature Watch. Unraced at two and already gelded, presumably he has ability for the Godolphin outfit to think it worth persevering with him..

Cervaro Della Sala is worth a look in the £2,000,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Maiden Stakes.

The Paul and Oliver Cole-trained youngster has been no worse than third in her three starts to date – all on the all-weather over six furlongs – without getting her head in front.

Her cause has not been helped by her keen-going nature and with that in mind this drop to the minimum trip could work the oracle.
