Highly regarded colt Eraad looks one to watch at Lingfield

Newmarket: David Milnes

Elysees Palace (5.45 Newcastle, nap)

Won his maiden when sent over to Dundalk last month and could be potent off a mark of 71 in his first handicap. Sir Mark Prescott's improver has since moved well on the Al Bahathri.

Eraad (2.50 Lingfield, nap)

Lingfield 2.20 Appenzeller, 3.20 Prince Ahwahnee, 3.50 Assanilka.

Chepstow 2.00 Astute Boy, 2.30 Coeur Blimey, 5.00 Our Folly.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Royal Brave (2.40 Musselburgh)

Good record over this course and distance and ground probably against him when up against Group horses last time. This is more his level and he's off a nice mark judged on last year's form.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Tallow (3.30 Chepstow)

Faded at the business end on her recent Newbury return but with improvement anticipated a bolder show is expected.

Longshot: Neil McCabe

Thegirlfrommilan (5.30 Cheltenham)

Good form in Irish point-to-points but then lost his way when trained by Rebecca Curtis. However, he bounced back with a runaway point-to-point win last month for a trainer who is three from six with rules runners in past few seasons.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Azua Emery (5.55 Cork)

The Gordon Elliott-trained filly gets the vote to follow up her maiden win at Fairyhouse last month in today's novice event. She won quite comfortably last time and can score under Jack Kennedy.
