Horse racing tips March 4: Horses you MUST back at Southwell and Wolverhampton | Racing | Sport

It was way back in 2015 that Chevallier (7.15, nap) last ran in this grade – when in the care of Richard Hannon – and he duly obliged comfortably on the turf at Leicester.

He was rated 74 back then but seven wins later, and now guided by the up-and-coming Archie Watson, he is rated 90.

That gives him a significant advantage at tonight’s weights and with his regular jockey aboard, the all-weather ace Luke Morris, confidence is high for a 10th career win.

It was with Michael Herrington four years ago that Steelriver (6.15, nb) first got to his career-high rating of 95.

He returned to Herrington at the turn of the year when his mark had plummeted to just 60.

It appears that Herrington has already begun to work his magic as the nine-year-old ended a very long losing run when positively bolting up over the course and distance nine days ago. It would be a brave punter who looks for an alternative on this veteran’s return to the Midlands track.

Mootasadir (6.45, treble) is four from four on all-weather surfaces and looks set to defy a 157-day absence by maintaining that sequence this evening.

The form of his Group Three victory at Dundalk, when he was last seen in September, has been nicely franked by those who finished behind and the booking of the brilliant Oisin Murphy for the first time suggests Hugo Palmer’s horse is primed for this return.
