Handicappers' nap

Dell' Arca (2.30 Newbury)

Not quite the force of old but placed over course and distance off a higher mark in February and escapes a penalty for his recent Aintree win. Won this race in 2017.
Steve Mason

Ace tipster

Barton Knoll (3.05 Newbury)

Shaped well in this race last year off a higher mark and yard going better now. Worth chancing at big odds.
Keith Melrose

Newmarket nap

Solid Stone (6.45 Chelmsford,nap)

Sir Michael Stoute's topweight is a previous course-and-distance winner and has come out of a subsequent second at Ascot in good shape.
David Milnes

Speed figures

Miaella (7.15 Chelmsford)

Has been a revelation since reverting to sprinting and this rapidly improving mare can stretch her successful sequence to four.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Dolphin Square (2.30 Newbury)

Four from eight over hurdles and the last two defeats were creditable efforts in useful handicaps over course and distance. Has solid form claims and may improve a bit further yet.
Ben Hutton

Dark horse

Court Master (3.05 Newbury)

Progressive chaser who was narrowly denied in a career-best effort last time out and can go well again in ideal conditions.
