Captain should have enough staying power

Newmarket: David Milnes

Valcartier (2.40 Windsor, nap)

The son of Redoute’s Choice has been absent since scoring emphatically on his return at Nottingham in April but has worked well on the Al Bahathri of late. John Gosden’s colt should be suited by the ease in the ground.

Others to follow
Windsor 2.10 Nobly Born, 3.10 Mark Of Excellence, 3.40 Chelsea Lad, 5.20 Red Rannagh.

Lambourn: James Burn

Dark Emerald (3.40 Windsor, nap)

Shaped encouragingly last time when not beaten far over a trip short of his best and this represents a drop in grade.

Others to follow
Cartmel 3.55 Polkarenix.
Uttoxeter 3.00 Whoshotwho, 3.30 Fact Of The Matter, 4.05 Attest.
Windsor 2.10 Dark Power, 4.15 Ice Age.

North: Colin Russell

Major Jumbo (4.45 Windsor, nap)

Progressive sort who has run well all year. Returns after a break and fancied to give another good account with a smart claimer on board.

Others to follow
Cartmel 2.20 Lavella Wells, 2.50 Irish Roe, 3.20 Charlie Wingnut, 3.55 Boss Des Mottes, 4.25 Lofgren, 5.00 What A Game, 5.35 Fiosrach.
Uttoxeter 2.00 Running In Heels, 2.30 West Class, 5.10 Gran Maestro.
Windsor 2.40 Kitten’s Johnstown, 3.40 Georgian Bay, 4.15 New Bidder, 5.20 Navajo War Dance.

West Country: Andrew King

The Wicket Chicken (2.50 Cartmel, nap)

Comes into the race on a quick hat-trick and expected to take another step up the ladder.

Others to follow
Cartmel 4.25 Ashcott Boy, 5.35 Collodi.
Uttoxeter 2.00 Magnus Romeo, 3.30 Southfield Vic, 4.05 Rossetti, 4.35 Purple ‘N Gold.
Windsor 3.40 Storm Ahead, 5.20 Clovelly Bay.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Captain Power (2.15 Curragh)

All four wins have come over 6f but stayed on strongly over 7f at Naas last time to take second and register an RPR of 90. Capable of figures as high as 95 last year and well up to winning if back in that sort of form.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Silverkode (2.15 Curragh)

Convincing winner over the minimum trip here last month and Joe Murphy’s lightly raced three-year-old may prove just as effective over this longer trip on his handicap bow.

Longshot: Neil McCabe

Rain Goddess (4.20 Curragh)

Went close at Ascot last time and, although she needs to improve to trouble market leaders, the ground and step up in trip should suit.

Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Clemmie(3.45 Curragh)

An eyecatching third on her debut over course and distance last month, Churchill’s sister was far from disgraced when seventh at Royal Ascot and makes plenty of appeal in this Group 3.
