Newmarket: David Milnes

Crowned Eagle (2.20 York, nap)

Ran out a game winner of the Rosebery Handicap when last seen at Kempton in March and should enjoy this galloping track. Marco Botti's four-year-old has since worked well on Racecourse Side.

Others to follow
York: 3.30 Tasleet, 4.05 Lubinka, 4.35 Cavatina, 5.35 Zeelander.
Yarmouth: 2.10 Emblazoned, 2.45 Luna Magic, 3.20 Calm Charm, 3.55 Genuine Approval, 4.25 Salt Whistle Bay, 4.55 Marilyn, 5.25 Ubla, 6.00 Summerseat Mist.
Bath: 6.25 Crystal Deauvile, 6.55 Falcon's View

Lambourn: James Burn

Dreamboat Annie (6.25 Bath, nap)

Mark Usher has his team in fine order and this filly was fancied at Windsor last week only to stumble and unseat her rider. Compensation awaits this course-and-distance winner.

Others to follow
Bath: 5.20 Jakeboy, 6.55 Flintrock, 7.25 Lady Valdean, 7.55 Attain, 8.25 Choral Music.
Newton Abbot: 3.10 Royal Irish Hussar, 4.15 Bay Fortuna, 5.15 Top Of The Charts.

West Country: Andrew King

King Calvin (2.00 Newton Abbot, nap)

Bumped into a potentially smart sort when runner up last time and fancied to go one better, despite his penalty.

Others to follow

North: Colin Russell

Orion's Bow (2.55 York, nap)

Won five times in 2016, but generally below his best last year. Ran an encouraging race when third at Pontefract on his return after getting no sort of run and as that form was solid he is fancied to go well in this competitive event.

Others to follow
Bath: 5.20 Mighty Zip, 6.25 Knockout Blow, 6.55 Francophilia, 8.25 Christmas Night.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Orion's Bow (2.55 York)

Struggled for form last season, but has slipped to an attractive mark as a result and there was promise in last month's return to action.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Tasleet (3.30 York)

Landed this 12 months ago and William Haggas's speedy five-year-old may follow up and upset the favourite.

Longshot: David Revers

Sir Dancealot (3.30 York)

Good reappearance behind Brando in a Group 3 at Newmarket. Should come on plenty for that and this course winner could have the race run to suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Daybreak Boy (7.15 Punchestown)

A good Flat handicapper last summer, Henry de Bromhead's five-year-old has run well in three starts over hurdles and looks to have been provided with a good opportunity to get his head in front over hurdles here.


Raceform Interactive nugget

With 5 winners from his last 7 runners in the Musidora, including the last three runnings, all with Frankie Dettori riding, John Gosden has to be the man to follow in that contest. He has Highgarden this time round.
