Newbury Placepot picks: Paul Kealy provides his perm for the televised card

It might be best to check the early market moves before deciding on Placepot picks for the first leg (1.15) at Newbury, but this column doesn't get that luxury.

Mutaany is easily the best of the two who have run, but that's not saying much, and this will likely go to a newcomer, the pick of which could be and , who are both related to decent speedy juveniles.

The next (1.50) is a lot tighter on the figures than the odds suggest but three of the five ran poorly last time, which explains the market. is the one with the best recent form, and with 1m2f perhaps on the short side for Grocer Jack, he is worth banking on.

and are my two for the staying handicap (2.21), while I'll add a couple to Man Of Promise in the Group 3 sprint.

is perfectly capable at this level and is starting to shape as though he might be a sprinter, even if he hasn't tried as short as 6f yet.

I was seriously tempted to bank on Maria Branwell(3.30) in the next, but there are 20 runners and just three places, so Miami Girl, representing the Hannon yard which has such a good record in this, goes in too.

I will bank in the last (4.05), though, as Julia Augusta looked potentially smart when maintaining her unbeaten record at Thirsk last month.
