Newmarket: David Milnes

Addeybb (3.35 Sandown, nap)

William Haggas has stuck to plan A with his progressive four-year-old, who was a most impressive winner of the Lincoln for many years at Doncaster last month. The son of Pivotal has gone the right way since and will love the ground.

North: Colin Russell

Kyllachy Dragon (3.55 Doncaster, nap)

Was not at his best at Wolverhampton on his all-weather debut when reappearing this month, but this longer trip and softer ground will be ideal and much better can be expected this time.

Lambourn: James Burn

Spoof (4.05 Sandown, nap)

Inaminna (6.25 Chepstow, nap)

Although this opening mark is no gift, this winning Irish pointer, who has shown promise on all three starts since joining Neil Mulholland, is fancied to give a good account back up in distance.Others to followChepstow 4.50 Molineaux, 5.20 Hollywood Ken, 5.50 Dauphine Ereine.Towcester 7.20 Bredon Hill Lad, 7.55 Everlanes.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Humble Gratitude (3.55 Doncaster)

Represents an in-form team and his second start last year worked out well enough to think he's fairly treated for this handicap debut.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Diamond Dougal (4.05 Sandown)

Earned the best figures on the card and a personal best when scoring smoothly at Bath a week ago and can strike again while the iron is still hot.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Vintager (1.50 Sandown)

Looks as though he will improve upped to this 1m trip, and has to be respected in handicap company. Any rain will be a bonus.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Balnaslow (6.40 Punchestown)

The Graham McKeever-trained 11-year-old can follow up his Foxhunters' win at Aintree this month by landing Punchestown's Champion Hunter Chase for the second consecutive year. Patrick Mullins takes the ride.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Harry Fry has had just four runners at Towcester since the start of 2015 and three of them won (+£5.75 to £1 levels stakes). He's 2-2 in bumpers at the track in this period and runs Deadringerforlove in the 1m7½f event at 7.55.
