Newmarket: David Milnes

Lexington Empire (3.50 Wolverhampton, nap)

David Lanigan's chestnut was only just ready when scoring over course and distance last time and could have more to give. He has since worked well on the Cambridge Road Polytrack and is well drawn.

North: Colin Russell

Summerghand (8.15 Newmarket, nap)

Progressive sprinter who has four wins to his name this year and continues in good form. Goes on any ground and, with this uphill finish likely to suit, he is fancied to score again.Others to follow

Lambourn: James Burn

Passing Star (2.20 Wolverhampton, nap)

This seven-year-old is having his second start since wind surgery and his low mark gives him a chance, while the booking of champion jockey Silvestre de Sousa may be a sign of intent from connections.Others to follow
Brighton 2.00 Cent Flying, 2.30 Showout, 3.00 Kath's Legacy, 3.30 Rock Icon.
Chelmsford 7.30 Captain Lars, 8.40 Fitzwilly.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Cliffs Of Dover (7.55 Haydock, nap)

High-class juvenile hurdler in 2016 and returned from injury in great order when winning twice on the Flat earlier this year. A recent run after a four-month break has done the five-year-old the world of good and a bold bid is expected.Others to follow
Newmarket 7.40 Daddies Girl.
Wolverhampton 4.20 The Detainee.

Racing Post Ratings: Sam Walker

Good Luck Charm (4.30 Brighton)

Not at his best so far this season but has slipped back to a workable mark and the return to his favourite track and trip could spark a revival.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Deputise(2.40 Musselburgh)

Couldn't land his hat-trick at York recently but William Haggas' dual scorer can get back in the winning groove.

Longshot: Olly Eden

Passing Star (2.20 Wolverhampton)

Been disappointing on his last four outings, but is entitled to come on for his recent run following a break after a wind operation. The return to an all-weather surface looks positive and Silvestre de Sousa is an eyecatching jockey booking.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Sakura (5.35 Tipperary)

The Ger Lyons-trained daughter of Dabirsim made all to win over this five-furlong trip at Navan on her second start last month and Colin Keane's mount can follow up on her nursery debut.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

David Probert has form figures of 11241 when riding for Rae Guest at Brighton in the last five seasons. That includes one win from one ride onKachumba, his mount in the 7f handicap at 4.30.
