A Sizing Network to strike back in handicap company

Newmarket: David Milnes

Sheikha Reika (2.30 Nottingham, nap)

Just run out of it by a decent type in Stream Song over a mile at Newmarket last time and faces nothing in that league this time. Roger Varian's juvenile blew out nicely for this on the Al Bahathri on Monday.

Lambourn: James Burn

Mutarakez (3.35 Nottingham, nap)

This five-year-old is down to an attractive mark and while not at his best on his last two outings, he showed up well earlier in the summer, is fresh from a mini-break and will enjoy any cut in the ground.

North: Colin Russell

Delusionofgrandeur (3.45 Wetherby, nap)

Wasn't at his best on final start last season but had shown progressive form over fences prior to that and fancied to go well on seasonal debut.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Galactic (3.05 Nottingham)

On a fair mark on best form to date and at a slight tactical disadvantage on latest two runs. Promises to stay the mile and worth chancing in what looks a fairly ordinary race.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Melinoe (4.05 Nottingham)

Has found one just too good twice recently and Sir Mark Prescott's filly richly deserves to get her head back in front.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Forge Meadow (2.35 Punchestown)

Entitled to have needed her recent outing (when well beaten) but can get competitive with trip and ground to suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

A Sizing Network (4.45 Punchestown)

The Jessica Harrington-trained seven-year-old ended a run of placed efforts over fences at Clonmel on his most recent start when scoring over three miles. A front-runner with loads of experience, he reverts to handicap company here and gets the vote to follow up what was an overdue victory last time.
