Newmarket: David Milnes

Wilson (2.45 Brighton, nap)
Had to be withdrawn when rearing over at the start at Chelmsford last time but sailed through a stalls test before racing at Newmarket on Saturday. Luca Cumani's youngster is fancied to bounce out and make all.

Lambourn: Nick Deacon

Just In Time (1.50 Leicester, nap)
Improved since being gelded in the winter and is out to make it three from four after an emphatic win at Kempton last time. He is fancied to overcome the step up in grade and a 8lb rise in the handicap.

3.15 Warsaan, 3.45 Sherzy Boy.
Leicester: 2.55 Face Like Thunder, 3.55 Blakeney Point.

North: Colin Russell

Alexandrakollontai (8.30 Newcastle, nap)
Tough mare who hasn't been running up to her best on soft ground recently, but has dropped in the ratings and is fancied to return to form now back on Tapeta.

Others to follow
Brighton:
2.10 Shelneverwalkalone, 4.20 African Showgirl.
Catterick: 1.30 Fool For You, 2.00 Poppy Walton, 2.35 Ventura Knight, 3.05 In Focus, 3.35 Short Work, 4.10 Clenymistra, 4.40 Fire Leopard, 5.10 Lady Joanna Vassa.

West Country: Andrew King

Mohsen (3.25 Leicester, nap)
Should probably have got his head in front before now but has been found an opportunity to rectify the situation.

Other to follow
Leicester:
3.55 Dance The Dream.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Showdance Kid (5.30 Leicester)
Weighted to have a great chance on his best form and fair claims on the basis of his last two runs. May yet have more to offer on a soft surface.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Diamond Pursuit (3.15 Brighton)
A course winner in April, Jo Hughes's juvenile earned a personal best on the clock when second at Bath eight days ago and can go one better.

Longshot: Neil McCabe

Gamesome (7.30 Newcastle)
Makes belated all-weather debut off a career low mark. The six-year-old had little luck in running last time out and could go well if the race is run at a strong pace.

Ireland: David Jennings

Stormey (3.30 Galway)
Such an unlucky loser last time at Ballinrobe when badly baulked on the home turn and only up 3lb for that defeat. Likes Galway and looks a class above his rivals.
