Newmarket: David Milnes

Enable (2.05 Kempton, nap)

John Gosden's Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe and two-time Classic winner is well forward for her belated return to action and is fancied to make the most of the 8lb she receives from Crystal Ocean. The daughter of Nathaniel is fit from some smart work on the Al Bahathri of late.

North: Colin Russell

True Romance (8.15 Wolverhampton, nap)

Didn't appear to enjoy the blinkers when well beaten at Hamilton last time and can be forgiven that run. He was successful on his only previous course run and, as he is on a career-low mark and with no blinkers, is fancied to bounce back.

Lambourn: James Burn

Never Surrender (3.35 Haydock, nap)

Four-year-old can be a little in and out, but won at Epsom last month before a solid effort at the Ebor meeting. That outing offered encouragement another try at 1m6f was worth a go and there could be mileage in his mark.

Others to follow
Ascot 2.45 Chessman, 3.20 Simply Breathless, 4.30 Fille De Reve, 5.05 Mountain Peak.
Haydock 2.25 Zonderland, 4.15 Harry Angel.

West Country: Andrew King

Margub (5.35 Kempton, nap)

On a hat-trick after successive wins at Chelmsford, still looks progressive and this race should be run to suit.

Others to follow
Haydock 3.35 Cliffs Of Dover.
Stratford 2.55 Golden Birthday, 4.05 Beau Du Brizais.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Moonraker (5.05 Ascot)

Course and distance winner on debut for Mick Appleby in May. Latest win suggests he's operating close to his best and will be hard to beat if replicating that form.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Existential (3.20 Ascot)

Romped home in a standout time at Nottingham three weeks ago and may have been let in lightly on her handicap bow.

Longshot: David Revers

Squats (2.45 Ascot)

Won well at Newbury when last seen and has won from a mark of 95 in the past so is only 2lb higher here. He often saves his best for this track too, so is of interest at an each-way price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

First Response (4.45 Navan)

Runner-up over a slightly longer trip at Gowran Park on his second start last month, the Ger Lyons-trained gelding appeals in today's mile maiden following the recent win of Prepare For Battle who was third in the Gowran event.


The Raceform Interactive nugget

The sire Sir Prancealot is a very healthy 6-16 (38 per cent, +£21) with his three-year-old's and older offspring running at Thirsk. His only runner there today is the very in-form Knighted in the 4.55.
