Newmarket: Anthony Burke

Young Rascal (2.20 Newbury, nap)

Looked near his best when making a winning return from a short break here last month and fancied to follow up.

Others to follow
Newbury 1.10 Alemagna, 1.40 Burj, 2.50 Azano, 3.20 Muchly, 3.55 Ceratonia, 4.30 Dukhan, 5.05 Perla Blanca.
Doncaster 1.45 Garrus, 2.55 Cosmelli, 3.25 Sir Robert Cheval, 4.05 Turgenev, 4.35 Ripp Orf, 5.10 Roland Rocks.
Kempton 5.45 Fivetwoeight, 6.15 Intricate, 6.45 Kennocha, 7.15 Guroor, 7.45 Awalii, 8.15 Polybius, 8.45 We Know.

Lambourn: Nick Deacon

Breath Of Air (1.45 Doncaster, nap)

Has always been highly regarded and improved from his debut effort to win readily at Newbury last month. Recent work suggests he is ready for the step up to Listed company expected to reward the decision to come here rather than return to his local course for a tougher-looking Group 3.

Others to follow
Newbury 1.40 K Club, 2.50 Chairmanoftheboard, 3.55 Glance.
Doncaster 2.15 Happy Power, 4.05 Phoenix Of Spain.
Cheltenham 2.00 Laurium, 2.35 Redicean.
Kempton 5.45 Hit The Beat, 8.15 Louis De Palma, 8.45 Past Master.

North: Richard Young

Duke Of Firenze (3.25 Doncaster, nap)

Has dropped to a handy mark and shaped as though coming to hand in a race that favoured prominent racers at Catterick last week. This track should suit better.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 3.10 Duke Of Navan.
Doncaster 1.45 Kodyanna, 2.15 Constant, 2.55 Bolder Bob, 3.25 , 4.05 Great Scot, 4.35 Hayadh, 5.10 Tough Remedy.
Kempton 5.45 Magic Pulse, 7.45 Mont Kinabalu, 8.15 Only Spoofing.
Kelso 1.50 Goldencard, 2.25 Bafana Blue, 3.00 I Just Know, 3.35 Iolani, 4.10 Sudski Star, 4.40 One Night In Milan, 5.15 Wyfield Rose.
Newbury 2.20 Communique, 2.50 Victory Command, 3.55 Iconic Choice, 4.30 Aquarium.

West Country: Andrew King

Movewiththetimes (4.55 Cheltenham, nap)

Has gone close without winning over fences but he should be good enough in this company.

Others to follow
Cheltenham 2.00 Doing Fine, 2.35 Esprit De Somoza, 3.10 Modus, 3.45 Wait For Me, 4.20 Ultragold, 5.30 Master Debonair.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Dinons (4.20 Cheltenham, nap)

Has to concede weight to his rivals, but has won all four of his completed hurdle starts easily and sets a good standard.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Capton (4.30 Newbury)

Hit a new peak on the clock when hinting at a return to form at Newmarket recently and this course-and-distance winner can break his duck for the year.


Longshot: Dave Revers

West Approach (2.00 Cheltenham)

Promised much as a novice last term but failed to deliver, albeit in tough company, and is well handicapped on hurdles form.

Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Perfect Tapatino 4.50 Leopardstown

Can complete a hat-trick having looked good value for his win here last week.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Doing Fine has a 13F2244 record following at least 113 days off. He makes each-way appeal in the 2.00 at Cheltenham following an 189-day absence.
