Handicappers' nap

Artic Mann (3.00 Musselburgh)

The form of his much improved easy Kelso win reads well and he looks up to defying a hike in the weights.

Ace tipster

Goobinator (2.25 Musselburgh)

Seemed to find 2m3f on heavy ground too much of a test when a beaten favourite at Haydock last time and could bounce back returning to a shorter trip. This sharper track might also suit.
Graeme Rodway

Newmarket nap

Liverpool Knight (4.10 Lingfield)

John Gosden's three year-old shaped as if this longer trip would suit when a staying on sixth on his debut at Wolverhampton this month and has since moved well on Warren Hill.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Arij (3.40 Lingfield)

Reeled in close home when favourite at Chelmsford last week, but can gain compensation before his revised mark kicks in.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Tommy's Oscar (2.25 Musselburgh)

Has really hit the ground running, looking useful when readily defying a penalty at Newcastle five weeks ago, and his opening mark looks workable with further improvement likely.

Dark horse

Eagle De Guye (1.55 Musselburgh)

Showed some promise in two chase runs last month and this sharper track looks ideal. Should go well here off a 2lb lower mark with a first-time tongue-tie fitted.
