Newmarket: David Milnes

Gantier (3.40 Lingfield, nap)

No world-beater but showed he should be suited by this step up in trip after being touched off over an extended mile last time. The John Gosden-trained three-year-old has shown some promise on the Al Bahathri.

Others to follow

12.55 Ambient, 1.25 Weloof, 2.00 Bridlemere Court, 2.30 Shamshon, 3.05 Waneen

North: Richard Young

Benny's Secret (3.30 Musselburgh, nap)

Suited by a sound surface and stepped up on form of chase debut when second over course and distance earlier this month. Reproduction of that should see him open account over fences.

Others to follow
Kempton 4.10 Spirit Power, 5.45 Fiction Writer, 6.15 Spirit Kingdom, 7.45 Cape Hill Cotter
Lingfield 1.25 Scrutiny, 2.00 Lincoln Spirit, 2.30 Teruntum Star
Musselburgh 1.15 Urban Kode, 1.45 Elmono, 2.20 Indian Opera, 2.55 Royal Reserve, 4.00 Enlighten

Lambourn: James Burn

Hula Girl (3.05 Lingfield, nap)

Drop back in trip looks an interesting move for this maiden, who has shown enough promise to win a race if things fall right. A career-low mark of 56 must help her.

Others to follow
Chepstow 1.05 The Ogle Gogle Man, 1.35 Dickie Diver, 2.10 Foxworthy, 2.45 Chef Des Obeaux
Kempton 4.45 Rock Bottom, 5.45 Shanghai Grace, 7.15 Nylon Speed
Lingfield 12.55 High Acclaim, 2.30 Gorgeous Noora

West Country: Andrew King

Samburu Shujaa (2.10 Chepstow, nap)

A couple of near misses so far this season and connections are hopeful he can drop his maiden tag.

Others to follow
Chepstow
1.05 Barbrook Star, 1.35 Truckin Away, 2.45 Steely Addition, 3.20 Smaoineamh Alainn, 3.50 Shintori

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Tokaramore (1.15 Musselburgh, nap)

Still seeking her first hurdle win but ran well behind a progressive rival at Kelso last time and has some fair course form.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Kentucky Kingdom (6.15 Kempton)

Has been beaten narrowly twice recently over 7f and may break his duck over this extra furlong.

Longshot: Sam King

Surrey Blaze (7.15 Kempton)

Joseph Tuite's charge has an excellent strike rate (5-13) and is interesting returning from a break. Winning form around Wolverhampton and Chelmsford suggests this track shouldn't pose any issues.Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Charming Kid (8.00 Dundalk)

Trained by Richard Fahey, Charming Kid competed at Pattern level three times last season, including when third in the July Stakes at Newmarket. After two runs on the all-weather in recent weeks, he gets the vote to land the 6f conditions event.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Steely Addition is 2-2 at Chepstow and Micheal Nolan has figures of 1311 when partnering the seven-year-old – other jockeys are 334F8 – and he is worth noting in the novice chase at 2.45.
