Newmarket: David Milnes

Central City (7.45 Kempton, nap)

Hugo Palmer's sprinter was a consistent sort last year and is primed for his reappearance after a workout at Chelmsford last week. The three-year-old is well drawn and has the services of James Doyle.

Others to follow
Kempton 6.15 Samharry, 6.45 Excellent Sunrise, 8.15 Polar Light, 8.45 Mime Dance

Lambourn: James Burn

Theatre Territory (4.05 Aintree, nap)

Consistent mare looked at home when sailing over the mock Aintree fences in Lambourn last week, won't mind the trip, track and ground and should go well for top amateur Sam Waley-Cohen, who has a fine record on the National course.

Others to follow
Aintree 1.45 Lough Derg Spirit, 2.20 Style De Garde, 2.50 Terrefort, 4.40 Santini, 5.15 Mister Fisher.
Kempton 5.45 Ipsilante, 6.15 Spirit Of Belle, 6.45 Puds, 7.15 Chagatai, 7.45 Black Sails, 8.15 Folies Bergeres, 8.45 Grecian Devine.

North: Colin Russell

Highland Lodge (4.05 Aintree, nap)

Dropping back in trip, but on a good mark now and as he excels over these fences is expected to bounce back after a lesser run last time.

Others to follow
Aintree 1.45 Project Bluebook, 2.20 Bedrock, 2.50 Testify, 3.25 Cloudy Dream, 4.40 Sam's Gunner, 5.15 Highland Hunter.
Kempton Alba Del Sole.

West Country: Andrew King

Bouvreuil (4.05 Aintree, nap)

Finished down the field in this race 12 months ago and not that easy to win with these days, but has his chance with plenty in his favour.

Others to follow
Aintree 1.45 Storm Home 2.20 Vision Des Flos 2.50 Ms Parfois 3.25 Politologue 5.15 Danny Kirwan.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Vision Des Flos (2.20 Aintree, nap)

Bolted up at Exeter following a wind operation and confirmed himself a smart novice when running well at the Festival. The drop back in trip should not be a problem and he sets a good standard.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Dotted Swiss (6.45 Kempton)

Made a successful seasonal return over the minimum trip at Lingfield ten days ago and can shrug off her penalty over this extra furlong.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Shanahan's Turn (4.05 Aintree)

Shaped better than the bare result in a hot handicap at Cheltenham last time out, and has now dropped to an attractive mark.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Crezic (6.00 Ballinrobe)

The Gordon Elliott-trained five-year-old can get off the mark over hurdles at the fourth attempt. Runner-up at Naas in February, he was vying for the lead when falling at the final hurdle on his most recent start at Limerick and can score under Jack Kennedy.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Nicky Henderson has won the Topham Chase three times in the last five years with horses priced at 14/1, 9/1 and 10/1 and he's had two more placed in this period at 25/1 and 12/1. O O Seven, who was fourth last year, looks the pick of his two runners at 4.05.
