BANKER

Dramatically(1.50 Naas)

Daliyah brings the best form into the race but is beginning to look exposed and frustrating, while Betsey Trotter takes a big step down in class after finishing eighth in a Group 3 last time out. However, the race revolves around the three Aidan O'Brien-trained runners and Dramatically looks the one to be on given the likely improvement. Sent off a fancied 4-1 shot on debut, he was always out the back after a slow start but got the hang of racing late on. Donnacha will ride him more prominently here and the son of War Front should score.

EYECATCHER

Gumball(1.40 Chepstow)

This is one of the best early-season juvenile hurdles you'll see and four of these have realistic chances of running at some the big festivals later in the year. Malaya is likely to take a big chunk out of the market and therefore it could be wise to play Gumball, a recent Stratford scorer. Winning by 31 lengths on that occasion, the French import jumped with precision and accuracy and quickened up impressively when Richard Johnson let the handbrake off. Expect him to make all.

EACH-WAY PLAY

Stellarta (4.55 Goodwood)

In what is a very tight handicap, Stellarta, a course-and-distance specialist, can run into the money at good each-way odds. He has form figures of 33445 at the course and showed that he was returning to somewhere near his best with a staying-on effort at Kempton last time out. David Probert, who has been on board for five of his seven career wins, takes over from Tom Marquand and his draw in four is a positive.
