Roll Along has been off for a while since making a satisfactory debut over fences at Plumpton, but looks the one to be on in the Brian Smith Septuagenarian Novices Chase at Southwell.

Carl Llewellyn has always thought the world of his eight-year-old, but the wheels fell off somewhat in the second half of last season.

He has always looked a potential chaser though and jumped cleverly on his debut, suggesting he could take higher rank over the bigger obstacles.

The extended three-mile trip should be right up his street and he may yet develop into a Cheltenham Festival contender.

All-weather action comes from Kempton, where Waqaarr is taken to get off the mark in the Digibet Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

Trained by Lady Herries, who saddled a winner over timber on Thursday, this son of Tobougg has shown more than enough in four starts to date to suggest he has at least an average race in him.

Not far beaten in handicap company here earlier in the month, the four-year-old should appreciate the relative drop in class.

Also worth a cheeky punt at the Sunbury venue is the progressive Mogok Ruby, a winner over this course and distance two weeks ago.

Having previously shown more than a hint of recent promise, that smooth success did not come as a surprise and neither would another in the Digibet Sports Betting Handicap.

Shrewd Investor could be the one in the John Smith's No Nonsense Novices' Chase at Kelso.

Harry Hogarth's charge is clearly smart, having won four of his seven starts to date, and jumped well when making a good impression at Newcastle in December.
