Magical Effect(6.35 Musselburgh, nap)

In fine form and followed up a good run over 6f at Ripon by finishing an unlucky third over this trip at Catterick last time. He is fancied to gain compensation.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Hawridge Flyer(4.45 Haydock, nap)

Fair form in three starts in maidens and made the most of an inviting opportunity to open his account after a gelding operation last month. More is expected now he is upped in distance on his handicap debut and he is fancied to take the beating off a workable opening mark.

Others to follow
Ascot 4.25 Niblawi, 5.00 Storm Ahead.
Kempton 9.20 Allee Bleue.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Rasheeq(3.35 Haydock, nap)

Well treated on his peak efforts this year, he takes a significant drop in grade and can return to winning ways.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

African Friend(5.30 Ascot)

Made a tardy start when a beaten favourite over the minimum trip at Thirsk last month and Henry Candy's lightly-raced sprinter can recoup losses over this extra furlong.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Big Baz(5.00 Ascot)

Hasn't won for two years, but shaped with more promise last time and has claims off a mark of 96. Any rain will help his chance.

Ireland: Richard Forristal

Casadel Sol(7.25 Kilbeggan)

This nicely-bred sort showed marked improvement on his third start to be placed at Downpatrick and, if he progresses again, he should go close.
