Handicappers' nap

Beverley Bullet (5.05 Newcastle)

Balance of form strongly suggests better on turf, but is running off a lower mark in a much easier race here and worth chancing at the likely odds.

Newmarket nap

Enable (3.40 Ascot)

Looks to be in the form of her life judging by what she's shown on the Al Bahathri of late and fancied to get a good tow into the race from stall 11.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Maxi Boy (4.15 Ascot)

Has a long stride but takes a while to find it and made a big move last time, up in trip, between the fourth and fifth furlongs before flattening out. The ability is there, it's just a case of trying to get him to put it all together.

Irish Angle

Suaimhneach (2.30 Gowran Park)

Shaped as though there was more to come when scoring at Leopardstown over 7f on her handicap debut earlier this month. Neither the extra furlong nor a 7lb rise is likely to inconvenience Jim Bolger's filly.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Camacho Chief (2.40 York)

There's plenty of rain forecast at York and that will be perfect for this four-year-old, who is just about the most progressive horse in the line-up. He will get the trip fine on this track and shapes as though he could be a lot better than his handicap mark.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Blame It On Sally (8.15 Salisbury)

Left his poor juvenile form well behind when upped in trip on his recent reappearance at Epsom and the clock suggests he may still be ahead of the handicapper.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Get Knotted (2.05 York)

Won the last three renewals of this race, hasn't run badly on two of his three starts this year, and this has presumably been the main aim all along. Is 5lb lower than 12 months ago so claims are there for all to see.

Dark horse

Shady McCoy (4.50 Ascot)

Looks like he's coming back into form and has a decent record at this course. Any rain, which is forecast to hit the track, would be a bonus.
David Revers

Must-have stat of the day

The form figures for Mark Johnston's Love Dreams in Class 3 handicaps read 51121, with the fifth coming after a 355-day absence. He bids to continue that fine run in the 2.05 at York.
