Paco Escostar (9.00 Newcastle, nap)

Yet to win a race but solid effort when runner-up at Catterick last time with several subsequent winners behind her. Stable is going well and she's fancied to get off the mark on her AW debut.

Others to follow

3.30 Dr Richard Kimble, 4.00 Winged Spur.

Lambourn: James Burn

Mutawaffer (6.05 Sandown, nap)

He didn't show his true colours at Royal Ascot, but looked useful the race before when winning at Goodwood and he's well regarded by Charlie Hills, whose yard is once again hitting form.

Others to follow
Brighton
3.00 Arden Warrior, 3.30 Cheeky Rascal, 4.00 Ashazuri.
Haydock 2.40 Moyassar, 3.40 Born To Finish.
Newcastle 5.45 Nakakande, 7.55 Cross My Mind.
Sandown 5.30 Compton Mill, 7.10 He's Amazing.
Yarmouth 2.20 Barys.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Biotic (5.30 Sandown, nap)

A winner at Sandown last month, Biotic is in cracking form. He returned to winning ways under this rider at Salisbury last time and is fancied to defy the 6lb rise.

Others to follow
Haydock
4.40 Acker Bilk.
Newcastle 8.30 Majorette.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Red Tycoon (3.40 Haydock)

Not easy to predict, but will appreciate the return to a bigger field and is well-handicapped if he's on song over a course and distance he's performed well at before.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Whitehall(8.15 Sandown)

Always up against it after a sluggish start at Windsor last month but it may pay to keep faith with Sir Michael Stoute's three-year-old.

Longshot: Olly Eden

Santafiora (8:30 Newcastle)

Hasn't won since her debut in 2016, but has run creditably in her last two outings, finishing ahead of horses who have scored since. This filly is well-handicapped if able to break on level terms and the promising Callum Rodriguez takes off a valuable 3lb.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Small Bit Of Love (8.35 Leopardstown)

This Willie Mullins-trained filly got off the mark with a comfortable win over an extended 1m5f at Ballinrobe last month. Raised 6lb for that success, the daughter of Tagula can follow up under Colin Keane, with the step up in trip unlikely to cause a problem.

The Raceform Interactive nugget

King Crimson hasn't been to Brighton since August 2016, but he won on all three of his visits to the track. Currently on a fair mark, he bids to keep his streak going (2.00).
