Henry Callan looks to ride another field to sleep on a well-handicapped Silver Gunn at Windsor, and a long-priced each-way speculative on Port Louis at Wolverhampton.

Way behind, so selections online but the dial will have to follow later. An 18th Birthday last night and the small matter of an early kick off in the Championship Play-Offs this morning, what with about 50 races to sift through, I'm well behind schedule.

A quieter punting day with Chester left as a watch, but two bets in cooler waters. Great Blasket gets a rare drop into Class 5 at Windsor off his lowest UK mark; Singoura returns to her favoured turf at Redcar after a much-improved reappearance. Plus three at Chester — Roman Dragon, Caturra Lights and Monarch's Gold — that just missed

Day one of Chester's Boodles May Festival, with three plays in one race plus the customary Kempton bet. Huscal and Midnight Strike both each-way at Chester — the latter a 125/1 Irish import worth a minimum stake. Bennyworth runs at Kempton off bottom weight. O'Brien angle on Amelia Earhart discussed.

A weekend on the sidelines for the Guineas, back in the betting today with four plays. Two of Jack Channon's in-form maidens at Windsor and Kempton — Decade Of Time and Sargent Dennis — plus Daniel Tudhope's pair at Beverley in Come On Over and Gorey Gold. Henry Callan at Bath looked but left.

A Lingfield specialist who is unbeaten in four over course and distance — UPEPO returns over the same trip with Myla Coppins' 7lb claim dropping him to an effective mark of 53, the lowest he has ever competed off in a winning race. One bet only. Even Tho's 16-length Bumper rout reviewed first.

One from the tracker at Punchestown — EVEN THO for Willie Mullins, taken on at the price the second-string jockey booking has created. The mare beat Araminta by 4½ lengths last time and is half-sister to The Enabler. Plus a recap on Sunday's first 5pt Max Bet of the year, Seed Ya Later at Musselburgh.

A focused Sunday — one max bet at Musselburgh. Seed Ya Later in the 16:15, on Jack Channon's standout 2TO maiden angle and a rare yard booking up in Scotland. Tilani and Persuasion noted on a watching brief.
