Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Tetraites Style(3.10 Sedgefield, nap)

Shaped like an improved performer when chasing home a revitalised winner on his debut for his current yard earlier this month and can give weight away in this lesser race.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Musical Slave (4.45 Ludlow)

Looked well ahead of his mark when romping home in a decent time at Market Rasen a week ago and despite a penalty can complete a quick double.

Longshot: Sam Hardy

The Gatechecker (5.00 Cork)

Potentially well handicapped on chase form. Has ground and distance in his favour and useful jockey Darragh O'Keeffe claims a handy 7lb.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Etincelle Lioterie (5.30 Cork)

Runner-up to Daylight Katie on her most recent start last month, the Joseph O'Brien-trained five-year-old can prove the pick in the mares' bumper. The daughter of Saddler Maker gets the vote to score under Lisa O'Neill.>>There are no tips from Newmarket today
