Newmarket: David Milnes

Navajo Star (5.55 Chelmsford, nap)

Goes well for jockey David Egan, including when winning over 2m here last time and fancied to follow up off a 4lb higher mark. Robyn Brisland's filly has come out of that win in good shape.

Others to follow
Beverley: 3.10 Arabian Jazz, 5.25 Hot Off The Press.
Chelmsford: 6.30 Sir Commander, 7.05 Raucous, 7.35 Double Up, 8.05 Via Serendipity, 8.35 Ode To Autumn, 9,05 Bint Dandy.

Lambourn: James Burn

Polly's Pursuit (4.45 Kempton, nap)

Six-year-old has yet to fire this term, but a mark of 112 is workable and she will love the decent ground.

Others to follow
Beverley: 2.00 Shumookhi, 5.25 Wind Storm.
Chelmsford: 5.55 Oregon Gift, 6.30 Fakhoor, 7.35 Ice Age.
Kempton: 5.15 Wallace Spirit, 5.45 Cajun Fiddle, 6.20 Kings Ryde, 7.25 Royal Irish Hussar.
Warwick: 1.40 Mystical Clouds, 2.45 Lettheriverrundry, 3.20 Sister Sibyl, 3.55 Beneagles, 4.25 Morney Wing, 5.00 Morning Vicar, 5.35 Emitom.

North: Colin Russell

Alfa McGuire (2.35 Beverley, nap)

Dual course-and-distance winner last season who has the scope to make up into a decent handicapper this season and is fancied to go well on his handicap debut.

Others to follow
Beverley: 1.30 Raffle King, 2.00 Immokalee, 3.10 How Bizarre, 3.45 Rita's Man, 4.20 Al Hawraa, 4.55 Aclimatise, 5.25 I Was Only Joking.
Chelmsford: 5.55 Luv U Whatever, 7.05 Related, 8.05 Love Dreams.
Perth: 1.50 Cornerstone Lad, 2.20 Mixboy, 2.55 Main Fact, 3.30 Bollin Ace, 4.05 Pain Au Chocolat, 4.35 Sun Cloud, 5.10 Henry's Joy.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Awake At Midnight (2.45 Warwick, nap)

Placed on all four starts over hurdles but has suggested that this step up in trip would suit. On a fair mark and a bold showing will be expected with the Philip Hobbs stable hitting form after a difficult winter.

Others to follow
Kempton: 4.45 Celestial Path, 5.15 Delannoy, 6.20 Who's My Jockey, 7.25 Black Mischief, 7.55 Port Melon.
Perth: 4.05 Tiquer.
Warwick: 2.10 Roll The Dough, 3.20 Tommy Silver, 4.25 Kilmurvy, 5.00 Umndeni, 5.35 Oakley.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Awake At Midnight (2.45 Warwick, nap)

Placed on all four starts over hurdles to date, he looks fairly treated and is open to improvement over a longer trip.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Lancelot Du Lac (7.35 Chelmsford)

Sprinter is two from two over the minimum trip at this track and can maintain his unblemished record at this course over an extra furlong.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Tycoon Prince (4.15 Punchestown)

Been disappointing lately, but is still unexposed and should appreciate the drop into handicap company off 142. Trip, track and ground will suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Bacardys (5.30 Punchestown)

A Grade 1 winner over 2m4f as a novice at this meeting, the Willie Mullins-trained seven-year-old was staying on and looking set for a first-three placing in the Stayers’ Hurdle at Cheltenham when he fell at the last. That was his first run over hurdles since this meeting last year and he can prove the value in the richest event on the card.


The Raceform Interactive nugget

Bollin Ted is 421114 at Beverley (+£6.38 to £1 stakes), which compares to a 77953658 record elsewhere. Tim Easterby's gelding runs in the 1m2f handicap at 3.45.
