Champagne Champ(4.25 Newbury, nap)

Has to give weight all round, but takes a slight drop in grade and is fancied to regain the winning thread.

Other to follow
Newbury 4.55 Bounty Pursuit.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Mistress Quickly (3.15 Newbury, nap)

Far from disgraced against male opposition in a stronger race at Haydock last time and can back up her previous comfortable Newmarket win now back against her own sex.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Call To Mind(7.55 Hamilton)

Has posted an improved speed figure on each of his three runs and William Haggas's improving three-year-old can deservedly return to winning ways.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Hoof It(7.20 Hamilton)

Class act on his day and, despite the burden of top weight, can get involved with conditions to suit.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Zanjabeel(6.55 Kilbeggan)

Winner of a 1m4f maiden at Bellewstown last time, the Gordon Elliott-trained four-year-old can score for the third time over hurdles. Third at Wexford on his last hurdles start, the son of Aussie Rules is partnered by Davy Russell.
