Today on Sky Sports Racing: Planters Punch returns at Bangor with Wolverhampton also live on Tuesday

There's plenty to enjoy on Your Site Racing on Tuesday, with Bangor hosting jumps action before Wolverhampton's Flat card.

The exciting Planters Punch returns for the Weatherbys nhstallions.co.uk EBF Junior "National Hunt" Hurdle at Bangor, having been off the track since winning at Hereford in early November.

Nicky Henderson's four-year-old is very lightly raced but the aforementioned win was enough to show he possesses a serious level of ability, given he downed Aqua Bleu who has since come out to win three times. The last of those victories saw Aqua Bleu dispatch Merci Mam, earning him a rating of 126.

In opposition, the consistent Molly's Lad enters calculations for Fergal O'Brien having placed in three of his last four starts. The Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero combination saddle Masterfield and Crack Ops, while Mistral St Georges was bang in contention on hurdling debut before falling two out at Newbury. He remains an unknown quantity for Georgina Nicholls.

The BetMGM Supports Safer Gambling Fillies' Restricted Novice Stakes sees the exciting Marco Botti-trained Lizzana take on 10 rivals.

Botti's Saxon Warrior filly stormed clear to win at Kempton the last day and arrives here still inexperienced but with a lot more to come. The impressive turn of foot she showed was enough to make you sit up and look and a replication of that would give her rivals little chance.

Ammoony chased home Touleen and Zanthos on debut, the latter of whom went on to to win the Group Two Rockfel Stakes - which is top-level form.

Debutant Sayidah Aleen represents Jack Channon, who enjoyed a superb Saturday when taking out the Spring Mile and Lincoln double at Doncaster. Also making her first start is Ticker Tape, who represents John and Thady Gosden's Clarehaven stable.

The Daily Profit Boosts At betmgm.co.uk Handicap sees two previous winners Kolkata Knight and Simplify lock horns at Dunstall Park.

Tom Dascombe's freshly-gelded runner Kolkata Knight comes here after winning at Haydock last September - his second success from five starts. He showed a decent level of juvenile form last year, including when he was in behind the likes of Gstaad at Royal Ascot. If he has wintered well he should naturally improve from two to three following his operation.

Simplify ran four times as a juvenile, winning on her final start at Thirsk in September. Andrew Balding is a top-level trainer and this horse will surely develop into having a better rating than she currently has.

James Tate's Dark Angel Star finished strongly when a runner-up at Chelmsford in October and could go close on reappearance.
