Weekender thriving after good second at Newbury

Newmarket: David Milnes

Weekender (3.45 Ascot, nap)

Returned from a break to finish a decent second in a handicap at Newbury and has thrived at home since. The son of Frankel shapes as if this trip will suit.

Others to follow

Ascot: 2.00 Daschas, 2.35 Golden Goal, 3.10 Merlin, 4.20 Tribute Act, 4.55 Master Singer.

Chelmsford: 5.45 Tranquil Soul, 6.15 Central City, 6.45 Nasee, 7.15 Archer's Arrow, 7.45 Alternate Route, 8.15 Slow To Hand, 8.45 Lord Kitten, 9.15 Diagnostic

Lambourn: Nick Deacon

On To Victory (3.45 Ascot)

Has been a credit to his connections this season and has not stopped improving. Underlined the point with a good win in conditions event at Salisbury last time, and looks more than capable of following up on this first appearance at listed level. Will enjoy the easy ground.

Others to follow
Ascot: 2.00 Crafty Madam, 3.10 Dark Power, 4.20 Graphite Storm.

Chelmsford: 6.45 Glendevon, 7.45 Snowy Winter.

Fontwell: 2.10 Kozier, 3.55 Fox Appeal.

North: Colin Russell

Beyondtemptation (4.10 Hexham, nap)

Hasn't been at her best recently but now back on her last winning mark. Goes particularly well here and fancied to bounce back.

Others to follow
Ascot: 2.00 My Amigo, 2.35 One Word More, 3.10 The Feathered Nest, 3.45 Hochfeld, 4.20 Medici Banchiere, 4.55 Mister Manduro.

Hexham: 3.00 Viognier, 3.35 Princess Tara, 4.45 Miss Conway, 5.20 Final Fling.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Scoop The Pot (5.05 Fontwell, nap)

Relatively unexposed for a seven-year-old who has some fair bits of form to his name and got his career back on track after an absence at Worcester in August. Fancied to defy new mark with further improvement expected.

Others to follow

Ascot: 2.35 Storm Ahead, 4.20 Mukalal.

Chelmsford: 7.45 Black Prince.

Fontwell: 2.10 Risk And Roll, 2.45 Adrien du Pont, 3.20 Coeur Tantre, 3.55 As De Mee, 4.30 Wizards Bridge.

Hexham: 2.25 Heart Of Kernow.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Ekhtiyaar 3.10 Ascot

Overcame a troubled passage when beating a subsequent Listed winner at Newmarket last time out and can continue his progress, with today's stiffer track expected to suit.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Archer's Arrow
(7.15 Chelmsford)

Looked sure to hit the target at Kempton a month ago but failed by a whisker. This furlong shorter trip may help him gain deserved compensation.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Anthony (3.55 Fontwell)

Lost his way in the latter part of last season, but has good form at the venue and goes well fresh, so could easily bounce back.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Thunder Crash (9.00 Dundalk)

A winner over tonight's 1m4f trip, the Ger Lyons-trained three-year-old lost out by a short head to On The Go Again over the distance on his most recent start at Bellewstown in August. The winner has boosted the form since and Colin Keane's mount looks good for tonight's finale.
