Thursday racing tips from Sandown, Newcastle, Leicester and Chelmsford

Planet Sport's tipsters are big fans of several of the runners at Sandown on an action-packed day of racing on Thursday, February 16.

Let's start with some details of our selections for Thursday's races, there's a full list of tips from each course at the bottom of the page.

13:50 (Sandown) Corrigeen Rock

It is too early to give up on Lucinda Russell's Corrigeen Rock, who is back down at Sandown for the third time this season for the "Ubique" Handicap Chase.

Only six, he fell on his chasing debut at Perth but made no mistake at Kelso in October before winning at Sandown in December.

Sent off favourite for a decent race at the Esher venue last month, he was no match for Xcitations but he too has had a wind operation since then suggesting there may have been a valid excuse.

14:45 (Sandown) You Wear It Well

You Wear It Well can be the latest to advertise the strong form of the Challow Hurdle when she runs in the Weatherbys-sponsored Jane Seymour Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Sandown.

Jamie Snowden's mare outran market expectations when second to the hugely impressive Hermes Allen at Newbury over Christmas, with the winner heading to Cheltenham as one of Britain's leading novice hopes.

That Grade One could hardly have worked out any better. The fourth, Passing Well, also trained by Snowden, won next time, the fifth Marble Sands took the Sidney Banks and sixth Kilbeg King has bolted up by 13 lengths.

Even Crambo, pulled up when out with the washing, came out and won at Bangor on Friday.

The Challow was a gruelling event run on soft ground, but Snowden has given her plenty of time to get over it and she has already proven her ability to handle a quicker surface when winning at Worcester.

She faces a stern test against Gordon Elliott's Deeply Superficial, and while her fourth in the Grade Two Navan Novice Hurdle is also strong form, she does have questions to answer on her first run since a wind operation and with a tongue tie on.

15:35 (Sandown) Immortal

Another one on the comeback trail is Gary Moore's Givega who was too bad to be true in the Grade Two Leamington at Warwick. But he will have to be every bit as good as he looked in his first two runs to beat Immortal.

The Nicky Henderson-trained five-year-old has only had one run when he chased home another Moore inmate, Authorised Speed.

He travelled very well on his racecourse debut only to get bogged down in soft ground late on.

He is yet another reappearing after having his wind tinkered with but Henderson rates him highly and he can make the most of the 12lb he receives off Givega.

13:35 (Newcastle) Richmond Lake

Richmond Lake should win again in the quinnbet.com Novices' Limited Handicap Chase at Newcastle.

Donald McCain's seven-year-old opened his account over fences at Wetherby and although he is conceding 8lb to Ben Haslam's Arthur's Quay, who is on a four-timer, Richmond Lake has more potential given he was a three-length second to Jonbon in a Grade Two novice hurdle this time last year.

14:35 (Leicester) Ben Buie

It will be very quick ground at Leicester but one who will not mind that is Martin Keighley's Ben Buie in the TCS Recruitment Handicap Chase.

The nine-year-old has won three of his last four and loves to hear his hooves rattle.

18:00 (Chelmsford) Jupiter Express

Former champion Oisin Murphy returns to action at Chelmsford following a lengthy ban.

His one and only ride is for Mick Appleby on Jupiter Express in the Winning Connections Networking Handicap and there is every chance he will be back on a winner.
