Handicappers' nap

Wiseguy (3.35 Ayr)

Has failed to build on the promise of his reappearance win at Newbury but is potentially a fair bit better than his current mark and shapes as if this marathon trip could suit.

Eyecatcher

Bunting (2.15 Ayr)

The Willie Mullins-trained five-year-old ran well for a long way over 2m5f at the Cheltenham Festival, despite being trapped wide and taking a keen hold. A return to 2m is very much in his favour.

The Punt nap

Archivist (5.50 Nottingham)

Chased home a subsequent Listed winner when giving 5lb to that rival at this track and trip on his last outing and is favourably weighted to make a successful stable debut for William Haggas.

Speed figures

Rashabar (2.35 Newbury)

Surprise winner of the Coventry but backed that up with two seconds in Group 1 company, including when clocking an excellent speed figure in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere.

Rogue Allegiance (2.35 Newbury)
