In-form Hawridge can secure further glory at Epsom

Credit: Edward Whitaker

Newmarket: David Milnes

Swaffham Bulbeck (3.45 Epsom, nap)

Showed he was suited by going left-handed when winning over 1m½f at Nottingham last time, looking as if this step up in trip would suit. Ed Vaughan's hope has since worked well on the Limekilns.

Others to follow
Doncaster 1.20 Rebel Surge, 1.50 The Mums, 2.25 Dark Rose Angel, 3.00 Aljezeera, 3.35 Laugh A Minute, 4.05 Dark Red, 4.35 Pacharana.
Chepstow 1.40 Ashwass, 2.15 Global Exceed, 2.50 Tony Soprano, 3.25 Right About Now, 4.30 Big Sigh.
Epsom 2.00 Bumptious, 2.35 Diamond Bear, 3.10 Hollywood Road.

Lambourn: Nick Deacon

Red For Danger (2.15 Chepstow)

Has taken her time to find her feet, but produced her best effort yet when fitted with a hood for the first time at Bath two weeks ago. Did well to finish fifth after meeting interference both at the start and towards the end of the race, and is expected to go well in this run-of-the-mill nursery, with the headgear fitted again.

Others to follow
Chepstow 3.25 Medicean Ballet, 4.30 Meyandi.
Doncaster 2.25 Billesdon Brook, 3.00 Melodic Motion, 3.35 Tangled.
Epsom 1.30 Lifeboat, 2.00 Favourite Royal.

North: Colin Russell

Amarone Red (2.50 Chepstow, nap)

Not shown a great deal so far but starts life in handicaps off a lowly mark, and is expected to fare a great deal better with cheekpieces fitted and upped to a mile for the first time.

Others to follow
Chepstow 1.10 Smugglers Top, 2.15 Hope And Glory.
Doncaster 1.20 Kenny The Captain, 1.50 Clubbable, 2.25 Nyaleti, 3.35 Great Prospector, 4.35 Renfrew Street.
Epsom 2.00 Scofflaw, 3.45 Snookered, 4.45 Red Stripes.
Hexham 4.10 Sophie Olivia, 4.40 Pretty Miss Mahler, 5.10 It's Your Move, 5.40 Tickenwolf, 6.10 Knocknamona, 6.40 Dica, 7.10 More Madness.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Hawridge Glory (3.45 Epsom, nap)

Has to overcome an 8lb rise for recent Salisbury success but he is fancied to go close with further improvement expected and Kieran Shoemark taking over in the saddle.

Others to follow
Chepstow 3.25 Unison, 4.30 Howardian Hills.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Hoofalong (1.20 Doncaster)

Well-handicapped sprinter who shaped like finding his form in a better race at York last time. Ran well at this meeting last year and this course winner can take advantage of a drop on grade.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Dubka (3.00 Doncaster)

Has run a couple of sound races in defeat this term and Sir Michael Stoute's filly can belatedly open her account for the season.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Dark Rose Angel(2.25 Doncaster)

Takes a huge step up in class, but was impressive in winning a course-and-distance maiden last month and should have more to offer.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Mr Everest (3.50 Listowel)

Awarded a 1m4f maiden after finishing second on his debut at the Curragh in June, and was third on his first start in handicaps over 1m3f at Killarney last month. The three-furlong longer trip should not be a problem and the Joseph O'Brien-trained four-year-old gets the vote.
