ITS Teescomponents can continue her ascent through the chasing ranks at Newcastle.

Keith Reveley’s mare notched up an utterly convincing success over course and distance in January and is clearly a talented beast at this level.

Although an 8lb rise will not make life any easier, Its Teescomponents has conditions loaded in her favour for the nationalrail.com At Chester-Le-Street For Cheap Fares Novices’ Handicap Chase.

Mac Aeda can make a successful jumps debut in the Newcastle ‘‘National Hunt’’ Novices’ Hurdle.

Newcastle have called a precautionary check for 8am ahead of their afternoon meeting.

Clerk of the course James Armstrong is not anticipating any major problems but feels it best to check the track as another frost was possible.

‘‘We did have quite sharp frost last night and we have had a frost pretty much every night bar Friday into Saturday,’’ he said. ‘‘We have been raceable by late morning or early afternoon every day though, so it is precautionary.’’ Malcolm Jefferson’s strapping son of Kayf Tara has already looked the real deal in two Market Rasen bumpers and should be a natural over timber.

This looks a nice opportunity in which to make immediate gains.

Hard Ball enjoyed no sort of luck at Wolverhampton last time but he can make amends at Southwell.

Mick Quinn’s four-year-old is obviously no world beater, but at least showed over course and distance last December he is up to winning at a humble grade.

He was also in with a fighting chance of landing a second career success at Dunstall Park last month when Francis Norton was spotted making encouraging progress a furlong and a half from home.

Things went pear-shaped, however, as Hard Ball hit insurmountable traffic problems and came home third behind Pipers Piping, who has since followed up at Lingfield.

Given his return to the track off the same handicap mark, few would back against him setting the record straight in this desperate race.

The fact Norton is again at the helm can also be considered a huge positive in the Hospitality At Southwell Racecourse Handicap.

Dunaskin has been a bit of legend for various connections over the years and would be a popular winner of the Play Golf Before Racing At Southwell Selling Stakes.

Brian Ellison’s 10-year-old easily claimed his 10th career victory here in February and has been found another eminently winnable opportunity.
