Ptarmigan Ridge is worth following in the 5.15 at Doncaster. His jockey George Wood has a 27 per cent strike-rate when riding for trainer James Fanshawe at the track.

Henry Candy and Harry Bentley operate at a 38 per cent strike-rate when they team up at Goodwood. They combine with Hidden Affair in the 5.00. His third behind 2,000 Guineas hopeful Raid looks good form and the step up to seven furlongs can see further improvement.
