The five-timer-seeking Atlantic Gamble reverts to turf from the all-weather in Newbury's opener (1.50), but that is unlikely to knock him out of his stride, and it will be a surprise if the forecast favourite doesn't at least make the first three for Placepot punters.

The following novice (2.25) looks as open as races of this sort can be. Hawksbill shaped well on his debut and is the pick of those to have raced, while we'll add Hot Frank as William Buick has a good record for James Ferguson, and Karl Burke's newcomer Showstorm.

Ecology sets the standard in the third (3.00), while Brightwalton is likely to step up on his debut fourth at this track for Richard Hannon.

Yet another maiden follows, but this time there is a clear pick in Miss Show Down. One of the newcomers might well be up to beating her as the standard is not high, but it's hard to see three doing so.

In the fifth (4.10) preference is for Principality, whose first two runs suggest he's a lot better than his Curragh effort last time, and Two Shoes, who picked up really well to score on debut having not known what to do when first asked.

Mrs Twig is my clear pick for the last (4.45), with Elegancia, who ran well when a close fourth at Newmarket last time, the second suggestion.
