Sting the layers with wager on Scorpion Star

Credit: Edward Whitaker

Newmarket: David Milnes

Arbalet (2.00 Redcar, nap)

The grey has been unlucky to run into two smart types on both starts and should enjoy the step up to 7f. Hugo Palmer's youngster has since worked well on the watered gallop.

Other to follow
Redcar 5.00 Flourishing.

Lambourn: James Burn

Whoshotwho (2.50 Newton Abbot, nap)

Won his bumper at Southwell and showed enough over 2m on his debut at Uttoxeter to suggest he can double his tally over hurdles. Should be suited by the step up in trip.

Others to follow
Newton Abbot 3.50 Phoenix Dawn, 4.20 A Tail Of Intrigue.
Redcar 2.00 Barbarianatthegate.
Stratford 4.40 Charlie Papa Lima, 5.10 Nicely Done.

North: Colin Russell

Roys Dream (3.30 Redcar, nap)

Running well for new yard this season and, with the step up to 7f expected to suit, has a sound chance of getting off the mark for the year.

Others to follow
Redcar 2.00 Falmouth Light, 2.30 Tight Lines, 3.00 Kensington Palace, 4.00 Mysterial, 4.30 Singeur, 5.00 Lil Sophella, 530 Ingleby Hollow.
Stratford 4.10 Miami Present, 5.10 Secret Escape.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Bagad Bihoue (3.20 Newton Abbot, nap)

Fair hurdler who is becoming a better chaser after making it three wins from three in that sphere over course and distance last time. He jumps for fun and this is a good opportunity to complete the four-timer.

Others to follow
Newton Abbot 2.20 Weld Arab, 2.50 Horse Force One, 4.20 Calin Du Brizais, 4.50 Bistouri D'Honore.
Stratford 3.40 Miss Mobot.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Skilled (4.10 Stratford, nap)

Good effort to finish just three and a half lengths behind Bestwork on his chase debut at Uttoxeter last time. Earned an RPR of 111 that day and the winner gave the form a boost by scoring again five days later off a 7lb higher mark. A repeat of that could be enough.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Flourishing (5.00 Redcar)

Romped home in a Chester maiden this month and the time suggests Sir Michael Stoute's lightly raced filly begins life in handicaps on a favourable mark.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Scorpion Star (4.50 Newton Abbot)

Potentially well treated, should enjoy trip and ground and could spring a surprise.

Ireland: Richard Forristal

Super Bowl (2.05 Tipperary)

Disappointed when odds-on over a longer trip at Downpatrick last time and deserves another chance back over 2m here.
