Stream Song (2.30 Doncaster, nap)

Ran a decent first race over 7f at Ascot last month and has the scope to improve over this extra furlong. John Gosden’s filly has since moved well on Warren Hill.

Livella Fella (4.25 Ripon, nap)

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Pomme (5.30 Market Rasen, nap)

Has taken a while to come to hand over hurdles after missing last year. However, bounced back to form when winning as she liked over course and distance last time and she should take all the beating at these weights.


Others to follow
Bath 5.40 Avocadeau, 6.10 Miss Minuty, 7.40 Angelito, 8.10 Black Prince.
Market Rasen 4.55 Towering, 7.30 Three Star General.
Newmarket 5.05 Duke Of Bronte.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Bashiba (3.40 Doncaster, nap)

Won this last year and handicapped to go close again. Arrives in form, boasts a great course record and a good claimer is booked. A big player if the rain stays away.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Daban (3.35 Newbury)

Never a threat at Royal Ascot last time but better judged on her 1,000 Guineas third. A similar effort would put John Gosden’s filly firmly in the mix.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Fighting Temeraire (3.00 Newbury)

Returns from a long absence, but has gone well fresh and should still have more to offer over 7f.


Ireland: Tony O’Hehir

Have A Nice Day (4.00 Curragh)

A nine-time winner, four over today’s course and distance. Following a good effort when second over the track and trip last month, he gets the vote under smart 7lb claimer Sean Davis.
