One key runner for each of ITV4's seven races from Newmarket and Market Rasen
Presidential
1.50 Newmarket
Price Promise At bet365 Handicap, 7f
The Roger Fell-trained six-year-old scored at Doncaster on his first run of the season before finishing a fine sixth in the Silver Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot just four days later. Dropping back to 7f is a plus for the son of Invincible Spirit and another bold effort can be expected.

2.05 Market Rasen
Betway Summer Handicap Hurdle, 2m½f
Paul Nicholls has started the new jumps season with three winners, and this five-year-old bids to improve that record in this competitive handicap hurdle. Second in a Listed contest behind Gumball at Ascot last November, he has some of the best form in this race.
2.25 Newmarket
Duchess of Cambridge Stakes (Group 2), 6f
Qatar Racing have a formidable team this season, and this filly looks another exciting prospect. Only seventh on her debut, the daughter of Charm Spirit has improved markedly and backed up her maiden strike with an easy Listed success at Newmarket last month. She impressed rider Oisin Murphy that day and is certainly worthy of her place in the line-up.
2.40 Market Rasen
Betway Summer Plate Handicap Chase (Grade 3), 2m5½f
A Grade 2 winner as a novice chaser, the Harry Fry-trained nine-year-old has not been seen since his fourth at Aintree last year, but undoubtedly has the class to feature here. He runs well fresh and the forecast good ground will be a bonus.
3.00 Newmarket
bet365 Trophy, 1m6f
The Australia colt has been highly progressive this season and has won both starts, although was second past the post last time before being awarded the race in the stewards' room. He has some excellent form to his name and was placed in two competitive handicaps last season.
3.35 Newmarket
bet365 Handicap, 1m2f
John Gosden's lightly raced colt was fourth in the Britannia at Royal Ascot and gave the impression a step up to this 1m2f trip would suit. His dam's side suggests he will stay this far and, if he does, he is a likely key player.
4.10 Newmarket
Tattersalls Falmouth Stakes (Group 1), 1m
The daughter of Sea The Stars sets a good standard based on her Queen Anne second to Circus Maximus last month. Unraced at two, the four-year-old has risen through the ranks swiftly and bids for a valuable Group 1.
