There is a £100,000 guarantee for the Placepot on Saturday at Newbury and I’m keen to take on the likely favourite Dubai Honour in the opening Geoffrey Freer (1.25). Gamrai has a big chance on his debut for George Scott and can be included alongside the consistent Tabletalk.

The 5f handicap (1.55) is an open race. Major Neigh Sayer has been running well for most of the season and is a big player, while Glamorous Breeze is next best.

The 7f handicap (2.35) is a good opportunity for a banker provided all eight run and Scoville fits the bill, while the feature Hungerford Stakes (3.10) is where Coppull can show his class.

Gambling Man finished fourth at this course on his debut and has a strong chance in the 7f novice (3.42), but there appears to be some market confidence behind newcomer Mosheer.

The 1m4f handicap (4.20) is the last leg in which two places are available. Great Bedwyn and Masterinthewoods look like the pair to concentrate on.
