Paul Kealy provides his Tote Placepot perm at Newmarket

The opening leg of the Newmarket Placepot is tricky as there are only seven runners and all have a chance.

That said, topweight could have a class edge and he actually ran a creditable race, despite finishing only seventh of eight, in a Group 3 at Royal Ascot (handicapper put him up 5lb).

is the obvious one to put him in with given his excellent handicap fourth at Ascot.

I wouldn't mind betting there will be a few non-runners in leg two given so many of them want fast ground. The ground might be a worry for, but he returned in great nick when fourth at Ayr last month.

Coventry Stakes third Saeiqa is going to be a warm order in leg three (1.15), but you have to wonder why he's running in novice company here rather than the July Stakes on day one.

Godolphin have been responsible for 40 per cent of the first three in this over the last ten years and often run a good one, so I'll take a chance and oppose the jolly with Naval Crown and .

Leg four (1.50) is tough, but I do like turf mark, while ran a cracker at Redcar last time and gets the other vote.

It really is hard to kick out in leg five (2.25) so she is banked on, and I'll take three in the last with my main fancies and joined by Paul Nicholls's , whose chance has increased with the rain that has fallen.
