Newmarket: Anthony Burke

King Kevin (3.00 Newcastle, nap)

Did well to overcome a slow start to get up and win at Wolverhampton last time. The assessor has not over reacted to that win and the subsequent rise in weights still allows him to make a bold bid to land the hat trick here.

Others to Follow
Newcastle 1.15 Master Singer, 1.50 Warm Oasis, 2.25 Western Way, 3.35 Without Parole, 4.05 Swift Approval.
Wolverhampton 5.45 Argon, 6.45 Mossy's Lodge, 7.15 Coronation Day, 8.15 Influent.

Lambourn: James Burn

Countister (12.30 Doncaster, nap)

Well regarded by champion trainer Nicky Henderson, she ran with credit on her British debut at Newbury last month and looks a huge player if stepping forward from that.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 12.10 Apple's Shakira, 3.05 My Tent Or Yours.
Doncaster 1.40 Percy Street, 2.10 Keeper Hill, 2.45 We Have A Dream, 3.20 Kilcrea Vale.

Newcastle 1.15 Mountain Bell, 1.50 Star Story, 4.05 Reckless Endeavour.
Wolverhampton 7.15 Seeking Magic, 8.15 Dutch Uncle, 9.15 Perfect Lady.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Movewiththetimes (12.45 Cheltenham, nap)

Developed into a useful hurdler last season and he is beginning to look every bit as good over fences after two solid efforts at this venue. Reckoned to have been found an inviting opportunity to open his account.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 1.55 Starchitect, 2.30 Kilbricken Storm, 3.05 Old Guard, 3.40 Lamanver Odyssey.
Doncaster 1.40 Flying Tiger, 2.10 Braqueur d'Or, 2.45 Act Of Valour.

North: Colin Russell

Helmsley Lad (12.00 Doncaster, nap)

Bumper winner who has been below par on both starts this season. Has dropped down to a decent mark and with the drop back in trip expected to suit, is fancied to bounce back.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 1.55 Guitar Pete.
Doncaster 12.30 Tayzar, 1.05 Cooking Fat, 1.40 Irish Roe, 2.10 Ballycrystal, 3.20 What Happens Now.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Rons Dream (3.40 Cheltenham, nap)

Successful in a heavy-ground Listed race at Warwick last season, she looks fairly handicapped and her jockey's 5lb claim is a real plus.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Starchitect (1.55 Cheltenham)

Found just one too good here a month ago but David Pipe's six-year-old can gain deserved compensation.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Rons Dream (3.40 Cheltenham)

Has some good form at Cheltenham, will enjoy soft conditions, and can't be ruled out back in handicap company.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Brelade (12.05 Fairyhouse)

Despite a disappointing effort last time, the Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old has finished second to two exciting novices, Footpad and Petit Mouchoir, and with nothing of that calibre against him today he can get off the mark over fences in today’s opener.
