Proven stayer Zarak a lively outsider in Arc

Newmarket: David Milnes

House Edge (2.00 Musselburgh, nap)

Michael Bell's youngster went down in many notebooks when fifth in a Sandown maiden on his debut and is held in some regard at Fitzroy House. The son of Nathaniel has since moved well on Warren Hill.

Others to follow
Epsom 2.10 Shrewd Approach, 2.40 The Revenant, 3.15 Sparte Quericus, 3.45 Swiss Storm, 4.55 Ajman King, 5.30 London.

Lambourn: James Burn

Cricklewood Green (5.30 Epsom, nap)

Apprentice Mitch Godwin gets a good tune out of this gelding, who has been in decent form lately and should give another good account.

Others to follow
Epsom 2.10 Alifax, 2.40 Regimented, 3.15 Native Prospect, 3.45 Dr Julius No, 4.20 Viking Hoard, 4.55 Star Story.

North: Richard Young

Bop It (5.20 Musselburgh, nap)

Disappointed with blinkers refitted last time (left off here) but previously shaped well after a break at Thirsk. Won't mind ground conditions, is on a good mark and in-form rider removes a further 10lb. Fancied to go well in race that should be run to suit.

Others to follow
Epsom 2.10 Phoenix Lightning, 2.40 Dee Ex Bee, 3.15 Kharbetation, 3.45 Heatongrad, 5.30 Storm Cry.
Musselburgh 2.00 Lynwood Gold, 2.30 Eller Brook, 3.00 Lomu, 3.35 Economic Crisis, 4.10 Whatsthemessage, 4.45 Stanarley Pic.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Thorntoun Lady (5.20 Musselburgh)

Never in the hunt after a slow start last time, this former course and distance winner has slipped to a good mark and will appreciate the likely good pace to today's contest.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Masar (1.45 Chantilly)

Convincing winner over 7f in a quick time at Sandown a month ago, Charlie Appleby's exciting youngster can follow up in this Group 1 contest.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Zarak (3.05 Chantilly)

Enjoyed tackling 1m4f for the first time when landing Group 1 honours last time out and looks to have each-way claims.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

I'm So Fancy (2.50 Tipperary)

The Jessica Harrington-trained filly produced a career best last time when runner-up to Laganore in a Group 3 event on testing ground at Tipperary. Well clear of the remainder on that occasion, she can continue her progress and appeals here from a good draw. She gets the vote to score under Colm O'Donoghue.
