Tenacious Theinval can atone for Aintree defeat at Ayr

Newmarket: David Milnes

Hazarfiya (3.00 Newbury, nap)

Doesn't have the best draw but Sir Michael Stoute's filly is expected to overcome that after some decent work on the Al Bahathri of late. The daughter of Fastnet Rock is expected to enhance her Oaks claims.

Lambourn: James Burn

Junction Fourteen (3.25 Fontwell, nap)

Better ground should help this gelding, who appears to have dropped to a tasty mark.

North: Colin Russell

Dartford Warbler (4.50 Southwell, nap)

Yet to win this season, but ran creditably when second to an in-form rival last time and with the drying ground in his favour is fancied to go one better.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Theinval (3.45 Ayr, nap)

Makes a quick reappearance after a good run at Aintree, but was placed on successive days at this meeting last year and this tough sort is weighted to take all the beating today.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Our Lucas (2.40 Ayr)

A course-and-distance winner last month and has since followed up at Carlisle. Progressive and can complete a hat-trick from the foot of the handicap.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Sizing Platinum (3.45 Ayr)

Trip, track and ground should all suit, and with the yard back in better form he can go well.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Ballela Boy (7.05 Limerick)

Having got off the mark over fences at Thurles on his most recent start last month, the Gordon Elliott-trained seven-year-old appeals on his handicap debut and gets the vote to score under 5lb claimer Chris Meehan.
