Newmarket: David Milnes

Ledham (8.15 Kempton, nap)

Up just 3lb for a neck win over course and distance last time, Sir Michael Stoute's colt is fancied to follow up after some smart work on the Al Bahathri of late.

Others to follow
Leicester: 2.00 Faro Angel, 2.20 Lady Alavesa, 3.35 Monsieur Noir, 4.05 Excelled, 4.40 Miss Green Dream, 5.10 Narodawa, 5.40 Lady Momoka.
Kempton: 5.45 Precious Plum, 6.15 Thanks Be, 6.45 Michaels Choice, 7.45 Summer Thunder, 8.45 Retribution, 9.15 Crash Helmet

Lambourn: James Burn

Before Midnight (2.45 Huntingdon, nap)

It has always been the plan to get this likeable son of Midnight Legend out early and he has done plenty of schooling in advance of his hurdling debut. He is expected to take all the beating.

Others to follow
Hereford: 2.55 Ilewin Geez, 5.00 What's Occurring, 5.30 Versifier.
Huntingdon: 2.10 Nylon Speed, 3.45 Third Estate.
Kempton: 6.45 Isaan Queen, 8.15 Porth Swtan, 8.45 Intermodal.
Leicester: 3.05 Graphite Storm, 3.35 Red Armada, 5.10 Perfect Refuge, 5.40 The Jean Genie

North: Colin Russell

Lord Oberon (3.05 Leicester, nap)

Lightly-raced three-year-old who ran a fine race after a break when second in a competitive 6f handicap at Haydock last month. The longer trip will suit and although up in the weights is fancied to go one better this time.

Others to follow
Hereford: 2.20 Bronzallure, 5.30 Lapalala.
Huntingdon: 3.20 Golden Investment, 4.50 Perfect Poison.
Kempton: 6.15 Chasing The Rain, 6.45 Sosume, 7.15 Mr Potter, 7.45 Polar Forest, 8.15 Rufus King.
Leicester: 2.00 Quintada, 2.30 Fortunate Vision, 4.40 Fflur, 5.10 Sunday Prospect, 5.40 Pioneering.

West Country: Andrew King

Cotswold Way (2.45 Huntingdon, nap)

Caught the eye when runner-up on his final start last term and has been found what looks the ideal opening to get his head in front.

Others to follow
Huntingdon: 3.45 Aldrin.
Hereford: 3.25 Scoop The Pot, 4.30 On Demand.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Marble Moon (3.55 Hereford)

Has won his last three starts with authority and Evan Williams' improving six-year-old may continue to defy the handicapper.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Pike Corner Cross (7.15 Kempton)

Mark in free fall this year but shaped better than the bare facts at Bath last time. Has some decent course and distance form and can get back to winning ways.

Longshot: Ben Harris

Cogital (5.40 Leicester)

Respectable third in a mile maiden at Lingfield last time out and was tapped for speed that day so the step back up in distance looks to suit. Dropped to a mark of 73 and Jim Crowley takes over the steering.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Trainwreck (4.10 Punchestown)

Two from five over hurdles last season when he won a maiden at Clonmel and a handicap at Leopardstown, the Henry de Bromhead-trained six-year-old won his only point-to-point and Rachael Blackmore's mount, the highest rated in the line-up over hurdles, can get off the mark over fences at the first attempt.
