Pundit Rory Paddock avoids the live ITV Racing this Saturday and pinpoints five runners he feels could do far better than the bookies might have you believe, Read his full race previews right here. 15:08 BATH
A drop in class could make all the difference for former course and distance winner Sisters In The Sky. He's below his last winning mark and at a course he loves. It's hard not to like him.
Fellow course and distance victor Derkened Edge has been a model of consistency of late and looks set to make the frame once more.
At bigger odds, Beaumadier could pick up a place.

Despite the burden of top-weight and the uncertainty over this longer trip Power Of Twins might sneak into the money. He's shown glimpses of hope in a handful of his runs so far and this level of opposition looks worse than he's competed against previously. Far from a certainty but an interesting contender for what is a powerful yard.
A repeat of Warm Glow's recent third placed effort would be enough to see him go close.

17:00 SANDOWN
Handicap debutant Star Of Dubai shook off her maiden tag when claiming her first success last month. She seems to have been given quite a lenient rating, one she can capitalise on in what looks a relatively weak contest. With the yard in form she can add to their recent success.
Despite not tasting success as of yet Relph Beckett's Renewal also has a major chance.

Imperial Guard might not be the most prolific having won only once in his thirteen race career however he's been knocking on the door in all three starts this season. The trainer hasn't been in the best of form but as we approach the summer months surely that baron spell can be turned around and hopefully it'll be done so in the lucky last at York. Will need further improvement to finish on top but can make the frame once again.
At a price former course victor It Just Takes Time is more than capable of outrunning their odds.

A chance is taken on the Charles Hills trained Vaynor who returned from nearly a year on the sidelines to put in a modest performance at Windsor last time out. Undoubtedly should come on for that run and will strip fitter for that effort. A huge positive that he's stepped up in trip, back to a distance he'll much prefer and with the interesting booking of jockey Rossa Ryan also catching the eye he might be one that's overlooked by many.
William Haggas' Russian Crescendo and the Ryan Moore ridden Road To Wembley look the most obvious threats to the selection.
