Handicappers' nap

Whitefountainfairy (4.50 York)

This filly looked back in good form when catching the eye at Goodwood last time and she's very well treated on her best form.

Newmarket nap

Zingaro Boy (7.30 Leicester)

Hugo Palmer has his youngsters in good form and this son of Zoffany could be well treated off a mark of 72. The chestnut has worked well on the Al Bahathri of late.
David Milnes

Eyecatcher

Baalbek (6.30 Leicester)

Did some good late work on his two most recent outings and better can be expected as he makes his handicap debut on an exploitable mark.
Raceform

Our analysts from Raceform find eyecatchers at all meetings in the UK and Ireland, every day. Essential subscribers can read their expert view on every race.

Irish Angle

Davids Charm (6.10 Killarney)

Unlucky not to finish closer in the Galway Hurdle last time and this track, trip and ground should be right up his street as he returns to the Flat under Chris Hayes.
David Jennings

Speed Figures

Kynren (3.00 York)

Has not won for some time but has produced some sterling efforts in top handicaps and can improve on his second in this race twelve months ago.
Dave Edwards

Spotlight nap

Whitefountainfairy (4.50 York)

Of interest off a good mark on her peak efforts and gave a strong clue last time that she is back in top form with promising run at Goodwood over seven furlongs when back from a break. She warrants major respect here.

Dark horse

Petrus (3.00 York)

Spring Mile winner at the start of the season and soft ground can be blamed for poor run at Royal Ascot. Bounced back to be third in the Coral Challenge at Sandown last time and looks set for a bold showing.
Rob Sutton

Must-have stat of the day

Since 2013 William Haggas has had three winners and two thirds from six runners in the Goffs UK Premier Yearling Stakes at York, for a £1 level-stakes profit of £20. St Ives is his representative at 2.25.
