William Hill Extra Place Races Racing League R1, 1m

Galiac looks to have strong hopes to get Wales and the West off to the perfect start having run well at Glorious Goodwood last week. That team have another live hope with course-and-distance winner Barley, while Mercurius Power, That's Just Dandy and Shine On Brendan have solid claims.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Galiac

Comes here in fine form and still on the up; bred to stay a mile; may do better yet

It could be the first time the East strike as Fresh Hope, a winner at Leicester last month, holds a strong chance to back that up. Princess Rajj was a good third at Leopardstown last month, while Alrehb needs to bounce back from his poor show at Haydock last time.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Fresh Hope

Progressive filly who won last time after running well at Royal Ascot; major contender

William Hill Build Your Odds Racing League R3, 7f

X J Rascal has shaped well in two starts since his debut win and was only beaten a head at Glorious Goodwood last week. He sets the form standard in the nursery on the card, but three-time winner Kiss N Cuddle and Machito have some respectable form.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Zabbie

Has consistent form on turf; ties in with X J Rascal on Brighton running in mid-June

Quest For Fun and Juan Les Pins have been prolific winners already this season, with the former seeking a hat-trick while the latter bids for a four-timer. Mojomaker was only beaten a neck over course and distance last time while Lethal Nymph and Recall The Show are track and trip winners.

Spring Bloom blossomed last month and bids to complete his hat-trick in the yellow colours of the East for the first time. His market rivals posted encouraging efforts last time however, most notably Night On Earth, who was not beaten far at Glorious Goodwood.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Spring Bloom

In fine form at present and unpenalised for last week's 5f win; should give a good account

8.10 Doncaster
William Hill Pick Your Places Racing League R6, 1m4f

Zealandia made a perfect British debut when winning a prestigious lady amateur riders' contest at York in June and has the able assistance of Saffie Osborne this time. Animato struck over course and distance on his latest start, while the East have a strong hand with Wynter Wildes and Nao Da Mais.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Zealandia

Ex-French; returned to winning ways on stable/seasonal debut; big chance up 5lb

William Hill Lengthen Your Odds Racing League R7, 1m2f

London and the South could end the card with some crucial points as they have two leading contenders in Good Birthday and Pledge Of Honour. However, they have some tough opponents including the in-form Jean Baptiste and course-and-distance winner Matchless.

SPOTLIGHT TIP: Good Birthday

2-2 over this C&D and better than bare facts suggest in a strong handicap last time
