Handicappers' nap

Alicia D'Arcy (8.40 Brighton)

Modest maiden but has made a promising start to life with her new trainer. Excellent claims on latest run in a weak race.
Simon Turner

Newmarket nap

Incredulous (4.30 Wolverhampton, nap)

The William Haggas-trained filly ran into a decent type when second to Loolwah at Thirsk last time and has since moved well on Warren Hill.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Poet's Pride (4.00 Wolverhampton)

Following a wind operation, Poet's Pride won over course and distance with ease last time, quickening up well in the straight. On that evidence the procedure has worked a treat and he looks well capable of defying a rise.
Raceform

Irish Angle

Iamastartoo (8.00 Roscommon)

A decent sort in bumpers, she produced an improved effort over hurdles at Wexford and can progress again.
Tony O'Hehir

Ace Tipster

Musharrif (3.45 Pontefract)

Does most of his running over 5f, but has won over 7f and tends to run well at this course too. He is just 2lb higher than when scoring at Ripon in May and ran well but found Haydock's 5f on the sharp side on Thursday.
Paul Kealy

Speed Figures

Clon Coulis (3.15 Pontefract)

Hit a new peak on the figures when just denied in the Royal Hunt Cup last month, enhancing her prospects of repeating last season's success in this race.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Mecca's Gift (4.45 Pontefract)

In first-time blinkers she took a leap of improvement when winning by 7l at Hamilton (1m½f, good) last Tuesday. She will be hard to beat under a 6lb penalty if the headgear has the same effect today, and has run well on fast ground previously.

Dark horse

Sandra's Secret (3.45 Pontefract)

Front-runner who has struggled up in grade the last twice. Back down to a Class 3 handicap now and has previous course form. With a visor on for the first time she could be interesting for Les Eyre.
Rob Sutton

Must-have stat of the day

When Reflektor's official mark comes down to 90 or below his form figures read 312111. He's two out of two when rated exactly 90 and should go close today in the 3.45 at Pontefract.
