Handicappers' nap

John Constable(3.00 Ludlow)

Dropped in class and showed enough in a stronger race at Cheltenham in December to suggest he could win off his mark.

Newmarket nap

Venusta (8.30 Kempton)

Gave Pat Owens his first winner as a trainer at Chelmsford last month and is fancied to beat fellow dead-heater Agent of Fortune on 9lb better terms.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Thegreatestshowman (7.30 Kempton)

Ran better than his finishing position suggests last time as the race wasn't run to suit the hold-up horses.

West Country nap

Danny Kirwan (2.18 Doncaster)

Andrew King

Ace tipster

Humbert (4.15 Newcastle)

Won a good handicap over this course and distance in June 2018 and has fallen down the weights since. Encouraging efforts the last twice over further and drop in trip, grade and return to this track are positives.
Tom Collins

Speed figures

Treacherous (7.30 Kempton)

Romped home over here on Sunday and can record his seventh course success.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Rath An Iuir (2.50 Doncaster)

Irish maiden point winner before £100,000 sale. Not seen until November this season but rules debut at Ayr showed promise and he followed that with a comfortable win at Newcastle. Trip will suit him very well.

Dark horse

Don't Shout (3.00 Ludlow)

Only his second run in handicap company and is still unexposed. This looks an easier race than he has faced last twice and stable is going well.
Sam Hardy

Irish angle

The Broghie Man (2.40 Punchestown)

Runner-up on his last two starts, the Padraig Roche-trained five-year-old can make amends under Jody McGarvey.
Tony O'Hehir
