Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason
Verdana Blue(2.25 Ayr, nap)
Unsuited by the easy going when below form in the Champion Hurdle, but has some excellent good ground form to her name this season and her jockey's 7lb claim looks another plus.
Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Crosspark (3.35 Ayr)
Displayed admirable resolution to land a truly-run Eider Chase at Newcastle seven weeks ago and will be staying on when others have thrown in the towel.
Longshot: David Revers
Takingrisks (3.35 Ayr)
Nicky Richards's chaser is improving all the time and has looked like being suited by a staying trip. He could surprise many at a decent each-way price.
Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Magical (4.35 Naas)
Although she produced her best performances last season over 1m4f, winning a Group 1 at Ascot and finishing second to Enable in the Breeders' Cup Turf, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly has won at Group level over shorter trips and she can start her campaign with victory in the Alleged Stakes.
The Raceform Interactive nugget
Ralph Beckett likes to have runners in the 2.10 at Newbury, with three of the five he's sent to the Group 3 winning, and another claiming third. Consequently, Dancing Vega is sure to have been primed for her seasonal return.
