North: Richard Young

Crixus's Escape (2.10 Bangor, nap)

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

The Crazed Moon (1.35 Bangor, nap)

Nicely handicapped on the pick of last season's form and ran well enough at Hereford last time to suggest she is of interest in a modest race with Jason Dixon taking ten pounds off her back.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Shining Armor (7.15 Kempton)

Just denied on unfavourable terms at Wolverhampton on Saturday after completing a hat-trick and John Ryan's versatile performer can return to winning ways.

Longshot: David Revers

Magic Dancer (1.20 Cheltenham)

Scored over course-and-distance in April and is only 3lb higher this time around. Richard Johnson is an eyecatching jockey booking and he will enjoy the drying ground.

Ireland: Brian Sheerin

Alfredo Arcano (7.30 Dundalk)

Can confirm himself an improving sprinter by following up his latest win at this track.
