Handicappers' nap

Mickey Buckman (2.11 Huntingdon)

Sets a good standard and should be hard to beat if none the worse for last month's Lingfield fall. Steve Mason

Newmarket nap

Lord Halifax(7.00 Chelmsford)

Should be suited to this more galloping track after his odds-on reversal at Lingfield last time. Charlie Fellowes' flashy type has since moved well on Warren Hill. David Milnes

West Country nap

Shall We Go Now (1.41 Huntingdon)

Has to shoulder a penalty for Taunton success but considered up to the task. Andrew King

Eyecatcher

Mythical Magic (4.15 Meydan)

Runner-up in this before winning the Group 2 Zabeel Mile last year and did well considering he raced closer to the pace than the winner.

Ace tipster

Front View (3.25 Thurles)

Has been defeated only by Envoi Allen and Blue Sari when standing up and can strike at Grade 3 level in a winnable contest. Robbie Wilders

Speed figures

Lady Bergamot (7.00 Chelmsford)

Punched above her weight two starts ago and, although below par last time, can show her true colours. Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Time To Reason (5.30 Chelmsford)

Is 6lb lower than when winning this race last year and has run really well in his last two outings at Wolverhampton. David Bellingham

Dark horse

Caspian Prince (4.50 Meydan)

Front-running type who likes it here. If getting an easy lead could be hard to peg back with in-form jockey Ben Curtis booked for the ride. Sam Hardy

Irish angle

Politesse (4.55 Thurles)

The Lorna Fowler-trained six-year-old can prove the pick in the mares' bumper following good placed efforts on her two previous starts. Tony O’Hehir

Must-have stat of the day

Henry Oliver is 6/13 at Sedgefield since the start of 2015, improving to 4/7 with his hurdlers (+£4.45 to £1 stakes.) He saddles Corri Lindo at 5.03.
