Sir Michael Stoute has a 25 per cent strike-rate at Chelmsford, which rises to 46 per cent when teaming up with Ryan Moore. They combine with the well-bred newcomer Nasee (6.45), who has a Derby entry.

When Paul Nicholls runs horses for the first time since being gelded it’s worth taking note as he has a 22 per cent strike-rate. He sends Risk And Roll to Fontwell (2.10). This French recruit is highly regarded.
