Newmarket: David Milnes

Sun Maiden (3.50 Salisbury, nap)

The half-sister to Midday ran a promising first race when finishing fourth on the all-weather in December when staying on over an inadequate seven furlongs. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has impressed on the Limekilns of late.

Mapped (3.15 Salisbury, nap)

Solid form in two outings over a mile at Newbury and a step up in trip can help this promising colt get off the mark.

Monsieur Gibraltar (6.40 Fontwell, nap)

Added to an already productive season before bolting up at Cheltenham last time under Lorcan Williams and looks the one they have to beat once again.

Newmarket: 6.55 Hawridge Flyer.
Salisbury: 4.55 Mr Lando, 6.00 Spirit Of Ishy.

North: Colin Russell

Permission Granted (3.05 Perth, nap)

Lightly-raced hurdler who has shown promise in novice events and handicaps. Has been given a real chance by the handicapper and fancied to take advantage on ground that should suit.

Others to follow

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Midnight Wilde (8.05 Newmarket)

Went close in a traditionally strong race over course and distance on his reappearance and should prove hard to beat off the same mark in a lesser grade.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Nordic Lights (3.30 York)

His Newmarket victory a month ago merited the highest speed figure of the day and both hands of the clock point to the prospects of this unbeaten colt.

Longshot: David Revers

East Street Revue (2.20 York)

This dual course-and-distance winner has a decent record on good ground and shouldn't be underestimated at a double-figure price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Last Minute Man (7.05 Clonmel)

A bumper-winning son of Yeats, he has relatively few miles on the clock, and after shaping with promise in two hurdle runs, he can break his maiden status at the third attempt.


Raceform Interactive nugget

Charlie Appleby is 4/7 (57% +£6.88) with two-year-olds in non-pattern races at York since 2015, improving to 4/5 when sent off under 10-1. He has True Belief in the maiden at 5.05.
