13:20 - Windsor - Salver

Grade Two action kicks off the ITV coverage on Sunday. Salver should be a solid chance in the Hampton Novices' Chase for the in-form Gary & Josh Moore yard.

The six-year-old has been progressive over fences this season, beating the reappearing Doyen Quest on his first effort over three miles at Sandown in December.

Lost little in defeat in the Grade One Kauto Star Novices' Chase last time.

13:50 - Windsor - Mirabad

A competitive handicap chase over two miles is next on the agenda this Sunday. Mirabad should be well handicapped for the red-hot Dan Skelton yard.

The seven-year-old comes out on top on RPRs, and is a winner on one of his two starts over fences. Jumped efficiently for the most part at Kempton last time, but was held by the talented Mambonumberfive in the Grade Two Wayward Lad.

Substance to that form, and looks like a solid contender on these terms.

13:50 - Windsor

14:05 - Fakenham - Audacious Annie

Fakenham is also covered on ITV this weekend, and Audacious Annie could be on an eye-catching mark.

The seven-year-old ran well without seeing out the three-mile trip at Kempton last time.

However, the drop back to a more favourable trip should play to her strengths. Represents an in-form yard and is likely to go close.

14:05 - Fakenham

14:15 - Thurles - Jade De Grugy

ITV also covers two races from ITV, including the Grade Two Mares Novice Chase.

This should be a free hit for Jade De Grugy, who is clear on ratings for a Willie Mullins yard that is hitting its stride. Paul Townend is aboard.

Despite losing on her first two starts over fences, she showed plenty of improvement last time out when beaten by The Big Westerner. Nothing of that standard reappearing on Sunday.

14:25 - Windsor - Royal Rambler

Emma Lavelle's yard is bang among the winners recently, and she could have a standout chance in the handicap hurdle over three miles on Sunday.

Royal Rambler has ran some big races in defeat this season, and excelled when stepped up to two miles and seven last time when narrowly touched off by King Of The Lake.

The extra trip will suit his chances, and Gavin Sheehan is booked to take the ride.

14:40 - Fakenham - Gazette Bourgeois

The second race from Fakenham this Sunday comes in the form of a competitive handicap chase over two miles and five.

Gazette Bourgeois could be an interesting angle, having previously won over course and distance.

The Ben Case runner was dominant on that showing, beating Jacks Touch by 21 lengths. This is a step up in opposition, but she is still improving.

14:40 - Fakenham

15:00 - Windsor - Protektorat

The big race of the day from Windsor is the Fleur de Lys Chase. Protektorat gets plenty of weight from his market rivals, and it's hard to dismiss how good the Dan Skelton runner was in this race 12 months ago.

Returned with a credible third off top weight in a handicap at Cheltenham in November. Has had wind surgery since, and looks primed to successfully defend his crown.

15:20 - Thurles - Appreciate It

ITV's final race from Thurles comes in the form of the Grade Two Horse & Jockey Hotel Chase.

Appreciate It should find this a perfect opportunity to get his nose in front. The Willie Mullins runner has won three from 17 starts over fences, and was an eye-catching second behind Affordale Fury over two miles and six at Thurles last time.

That form has since been boosted, and he's the choice of Paul Townend.

15:35 - Windsor - Gold Clermont

ITV's coverage on Sunday rounds off with a handicap chase over a stamina-sapping three miles and four.

Gold Clermont could be on an eye-catching mark for the combination of Olly Murphy and Sean Bowen.

The ten-year-old has run well over long trips, including when fourth in the Scottish Borders National. Stamina is assured.
