The Punt nap

More Thunder (2.35 Newbury)

Ran with huge credit in the Group 1 Prix de la Foret in October, staying on strongly having had to be dropped in at the back from a poor draw. Recent evidence suggests he could have even more to offer over a mile for William Haggas and he has scope to improve past some of his rivals.

Handicappers' nap

Forty Years On (2.50 Newmarket)

This strong-travelling filly progressed well last year, looking unfortunate not to beat Thursday's York winner Maybe Not on her final start. Just 2lb higher for this reappearance and has plenty of upside.

Eyecatcher

Novello Lad (6.38 Doncaster)

Came home well at Beverley over 5f on his return and Paul Midgley’s course-and-distance winner should appreciate the step back up in trip.

Speed figures

Lost Signal (5.40 Newbury)

Clocked a good speed figure when runner-up at Newmarket last time. Ran into a smart rival that day and should find this easier stepping down in class.

Newmarket nap

Forty Years On (2.50 Newmarket) 

Held in some regard by George Scott and is fit from recent work on the Cambridge Road Polytrack.

Dark horse

Jonquil (2.35 Newbury)

Impressive winner on British reappearance at Ascot two weeks ago and a worthy contender after a couple of good efforts in Group 1s last season.
