Eyecatcher

Ran with huge promise to finish third in a valuable Chester maiden on his debut and could give likely favourite Ghara something to think about.

Handicappers' nap

Hurstwood (5.22 Ripon)

Won three times last year, including over course and distance off a 3lb higher mark. Hinted at a return to form at Catterick last time and can build on that from a good draw.

Newmarket nap

Damascus Steel (3.00 Yarmouth)

Bounced off the fast ground at Windsor when making all on Monday and fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty for the in-form Ed Dunlop.

The Punt nap

Kolisi (6.40 Market Rasen)

Won after wind surgery and a break last season and can repeat the feat here with the form of his Newton Abbot run working out exceptionally well.

Dark horse

Proud Fairy (3.42 Lingfield)

Caught the eye when a staying-on winner over 7f at Chelmsford before finishing a close third over today's course and distance last season. Tried turf last time but the soft ground didn't suit and she returns to the all-weather with her yard in good form.
