Finding winners at the start of the Flat turf season is notoriously difficult and it usually pays to focus on horses who have been in decent nick on the all-weather or over jumps. At least these particular contenders arrive fully fit and ready to roll, whereas specialist grass performers will be returning from long absences. Bearing this formula in mind, it could pay to side with Brian Ellison's Hue in the Become An Annual Badge Holder Today Handicap at Redcar on Monday. The seven-year-old is no great shakes on the level but improved markedly in the hurdling sphere this winter and could prove a cut above his rivals in what looks a fairly weak race. One of Warwick's more intriguing events sees Rebellious Spirit in action again as he chases a four-timer. Trained by Sean Curran, this tough and reliable gelding has enjoyed a purple patch on the sand of late, winning twice at Wolverhampton and once at Kempton in the space of around a fortnight. His liking for turf is not as immediately evident but nothing will arrive for the warwickracecourse.co.uk Handicap in such a positive frame of mind. Only the bravest of the brave will make the trek to Yarmouth for what can only be described as one of the poorest race meetings to be staged in a long time. All that can be said with any certainty is that the toteplacepot Maiden Stakes will go the way of Southwark Newsboy, as Christine Dunnett's gelding is the only horse to have declared! For those who want a speculative punt, Starcross Maid could be the one in the totesportcasino.com Handicap. Colin Tizzard's The Jazz Musician has a string of seconds next to his name but the Missing Wales "National Hunt'' Maiden Hurdle could see him break his duck at Chepstow. Whistling Straits showed a likeable attitude to get off the mark under rules at the first attempt last month and can repeat the dose at Fakenham. He is clearly a useful animal, having previously done well in point-to-points, and should find conditions to his liking in the Hood, Vores And Allwood Novices' Hunters' Chase. Jim Best continues to impress with limited resources and should be celebrating another success courtesy of Lady Pilot, who runs at Huntingdon. This six-year-old mare got her act together over this course and distance 12 days ago and does not appear to have been hit too hard by the handicapper in the interim. Extracting any value at Plumpton is a tricky task but My Monna ought to kick-start the afternoon by taking the Plumpton Racecourse 10th Anniversary Juvenile Novices' Hurdle. Over in the Emerald Isle, the Powers Whiskey Irish Grand National takes centre stage on a cracking Fairyhouse card. This three-mile-five-furlong test always presents a poser for punters and things are no different this year, with Beef Or Salmon keeping a number of horses out of the handicap. Tony Martin's Royal County Star has understandably proved very popular but he could struggle to see off a fighting-fit Cailin Alainn, who is able to run off 10st 10lb. Taking on seasoned handicappers presents a difficult task for Charles Byrnes' mare but she is a dual Grade One winner and looked back to her best at Thurles earlier in the month.
