Dhahabi
1.50 Newbury
Denford Stakes (Listed), 7f

The half-brother to Golden Horn made the perfect start to his career when winning at Newmarket last month and steps up in class here. Rain should pose no problem and it will be fascinating to see how he progresses.

Night Bear
2.05 Newmarket
Heed Your Hunch At Betway Handicap, 1m4f

The Dragon Pulse colt has been in consistent form over three starts this term, winning at Redcar on his penultimate start and placing twice. Now up to a mark of 82, he faces some unexposed types but is almost guaranteed to run his race.

2.25 Newbury
Unibet You're On Handicap, 1m

Tempus has not been seen since October but showed clear promise in four starts for the in-form Roger Charlton last season. Stepping up to Class 2 company, the Juddmonte-owned son of Kingman can build on that promise.

Black Caspian
2.40 Newmarket
Betway Handicap, 7f

A narrow winner on his penultimate start at York, Black Caspian could have further improvement in him after six starts. He also hails from the Kevin Ryan yard, which is in tremendous form of late.

Sextant
3.00 Newbury
Irish Thoroughbred Marketing Geoffrey Freer Stakes (Group 3), 1m5½f

This Sir Michael Stoute-trained runner has not run since finishing second behind the reopposing Morando in a Group 3 at Ascot. He coped admirably with very soft ground that day behind a renowned mudlark and the better going here should suit.

3.15 Newmarket
Betway Grey Horse Handicap, 6f

Case Key could only finish last of nine on his reappearance in June but firmly but that behind him with a win at Leicester and respectable second last time at Yarmouth. Quick ground looks to be in his favour.

Dream Of Dreams
3.35 Newbury
Unibet Hungerford Stakes (Group 2), 7f

The gelded son of Dream Ahead boasts the best form in this Group 2, going down narrowly in two Diamond Jubilee runnings and if on song should be hard to beat.
