Expect Finian's to put up an Oscar-winning performance at Ascot

Newmarket: David Milnes

Piazon (1.35 Southwell, nap)

John Butler's runner has been done few favours by the draw at this track on his last two starts and should have no problems from stall one this time.

Others to follow
Southwell 1.00 Bo Selecta.
Wolverhampton 5.45 Mr Gent, 6.15 Dillie Dallie, 6.45 Brigand, 7.15 Doctor Sardonicus, 8.45 Broughtons Story.

Lambourn: James Burn

Claimantakinforgan (1.55 Ascot, nap)

Nicky Henderson has his team in great nick and does well in this race, so expect a decent show from this commentators' nightmare, who had some solid bumper form last season and is regarded as a bright prospect in the novice hurdling division.

Others to follow
Ascot 12.45 Settie Hill, 1.20 Divine Spear, 3.40 Portrush Ted.
Southwell 12.25 Wannabe Like You.
Uttoxeter 12.35 Bob Mahler, 1.10 Ceann Sibheal, 3.30 Don Des Fosses.
Wolverhampton 6.15 Golden Image, 6.45 Epic Fantasy.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Finian's Oscar (2.30 Ascot, nap)

Looked every bit as good over fences as he was over hurdles on his first two starts but found the drop back to two miles against him at Sandown last time. Fancied to take all the beating back up in distance.

Others to follow
Ascot 1.55 Slate House, 3.40 Bullionaire.
Uttoxeter 12.00 Western Sunrise, 1.10 Hadfield, 2.20 Big Picture.

North: Colin Russell

Lough Derg Jewel(2.15 Ayr, nap)

Jumped particularly well when making a winning chase debut over course and distance last time and, although he has more to do at these weights, is fancied to follow up for his in-form yard.

Others to follow
Ascot 3.05 Our Kylie.
Ayr 11.55 Cool Mix, 12.30 Ceegem, 1.05 Lochnell, 1.40 Uncle Alastair, 2.50 Echo Express, 3.25 Derriana Spirit.
Southwell 11.50 Zaeem, 12.25 Dose, 1.35 Razin' Hell, 2.10 Samtu, 2.45 Pantomine, 3.20 Brotherly Company.
Uttoxeter 1.45 Freddies Portrait.
Wolverhampton 5.45 Laubali, 6.15 Whererainbowsend, 6.45 Oneroa, 7.15 Bowson Fred, 7.45 Jorvik Prince, 8.15 Cool Music, 8.45 Champagne Pink.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Charmant (2.50 Ayr)

Posted career-best RPR of 122 after scoring by five lengths on return to action at Sedgefield last time. That level sets the standard and a repeat may be enough.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Lough Derg Jewel (2.15 Ayr)

Jumped with aplomb on his chasing debut over course and distance last month and Donald McCain's promising six-year-old can strike again.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Kilmurvy (2.55 Uttoxeter)

Would have needed his recent spin over hurdles after 18 months off, and with trip, track and ground to suit he can run well.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Cascavelle(6.30 Dundalk)

A Galway maiden winner over this seven-furlong trip, the Robbie McNamara-trained three-year-old ran out a four-length winner on his polytrack debut over a mile last month. Although now 13lb higher, the son of Shamardal can follow up under Shane Foley.
