Newbury Placepot picks: Paul Kealy has three bankers to include in Friday's perm

The ground looks set to be quite testing at Newbury, so with running a career-best last time on heavy, he looks a solid selection for Placepot purposes in the opener (1.45).

is the one who could be well ahead of his mark though, so he goes in as well.

Only seven go in the next (2.20), but I wouldn't be surprised if In The Air's French form makes him the pick. He was third to a subsequent easy winner on his debut, while the third from his victory at Auteuil in November has also won since.

In the next (2.55) Glorious Lady is hard to weigh up as she's running off a 7lb lower mark than when winning at Warwick last week and is 15lb well in. However, she seemed to be the only one who got home over 3m in the ground.

Preferred are , who is better than her latest run, and , who usually runs her race.

Leg four (3.30) should be a match between and Peking Rose and we only need one, and that gives scope for the trickiest race on the card (4.05).

is my outside play back up in trip, but he's joined by , who is of interest back over hurdles, and , who ran well here last month.

is banked on in the last (4.35) as he has no problem with conditions, is well handicapped at his best and ran well enough last time.
