North: Colin Russell

Tor (2.30 Pontefract, nap)

In good form, following up a narrow win at Hamilton by finishing a close third over course and distance. Up in the ratings but handles all ground and fancied to give another good account.

Others to follow
Pontefract 2.00 World Order, 3.05 Becky The Thatcher, 3.35 Dance Diva, 4.05 Autretot, 4.40 Move In Faster, 5.10 Avenue Of Stars.
Southwell 2.20 Martha's Benefit, 3.25 Hargam, 3.55 Simply Mani, 4.25 Tir Dubh, 5.00 Cosmic Tigress, 5.30 Onelasthand.

Lambourn: James Burn

The Devils Drop (3.55 Southwell, nap)

Two from two since wind surgery and ought to have more to offer especially as Alan King's string remain in good heart.

Others to follow
Southwell 4.25 Little Windmill, 5.00 Gannicus.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Voix D'Eau (3.25 Southwell, nap)

Largely consistent and best to put a line through his latest effort on soft ground. Current mark is not beyond him, and connections are hopeful of a bold showing with the return to a sounder surface in his favour.

Others to follow
Southwell 3.55 Katy P

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Lynwood Gold (2.30 Pontefract, nap)

The handicapper is giving him and chance and he's taking a sizeable drop in class in against more exposed older horses this afternoon.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Pretty Pollyanna (2.45 Deauville, nap)

Enjoyed the run of an eventful race when romping home at Newmarket five weeks ago and Michael Bell's rising star can underline her star quality.

Longshot: Josh Down

(3.25 Southwell)

Not the most consistent but is potentially well treated and could run into a place.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Mill Quest (4.15 Tramore, nap)

The Gordon Elliott-trained mare has been in good form over hurdles, winning three times this summer and off a mark 21lb lower than her hurdles rating she appeals on her return to fences. Jack Kennedy's mount gets the vote to record a first chase win.

There are no Newmarket selections for Sunday

The Raceform Interactive nugget

Eleven of the last 12 renewals of the Prix Morny (2.45 Deauville) have gone to a colt that started 8-1 or shorter. Land Forceis the most likely to fit that trend this year.
