With plenty of rain forecast for Friday night and Saturday, there will doubtless be plenty of non-runners across Britain, but Newmarket seems set to miss the worst of it and it probably makes sense to begin with the good card there.

In the opening Bentley Cambridge Handicap (2.10), William Haggas's Awe will bid for compensation having been bumped and barged early and denied a run late when well supported for the Silver Bowl at Haydock last month.
