Avenue going in the right direction

Newmarket: David Milnes

Near Kettering (3.00 Pontefract, nap)

Failed to get involved after racing in the middle of the course at Newmarket last time but has worked well since and is fancied to bounce back.

Others to follow
Pontefract 2.30 Avenue Des Champs, 3.30 Tashweeq, 4.30 Sharja Bridge.

Lambourn: James Burn

Tuscany (4.30 Pontefract, nap)

The step up to a mile and a stiff track will suit this well-regarded gelding.

Others to follow
Uttoxeter 2.45 City Dreamer, 4.15 Forever Field.

North: Colin Russell

Johnny Cavagin(4.00 Pontefract, nap)

Not at his best last time but goes well on the track, is suited by give in the ground and the race should be run to suit.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Avenue Des Champs(2.30 Pontefract, nap)

Looked as good as ever when winning at Yarmouth after over a year off. Matched his peak RPR of 71 and should build on it.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Tashweeq (3.30 Pontefract)

Disappointing favourite at Newmarket recently but John Gosden’s colt is capable of better and can prove the point here.

Longshot: Dave Revers

Lord Franklin(3.00 Pontefract)

He is 4lb below his last winning mark, will appreciate any rain and Josh Quinn takes off 7lb.
