Newmarket: David Milnes

Collide (2.20 Hamilton, nap)

This son of Frankel shaped nicely when fourth on his belated debut at Pontefract last month and Hugo Palmer's hope has since worked well on the Al Bahathri.

Others to follow
Brighton 1.40 Entertaining Ben, 2.10 Stormy Road, 3.40 Walk On Walter, 4.10 Mr Gent, 4.40 Swiss Cross.
Hamilton 1.20 Whimsical Dream.
Kempton 2.00 Jewel Of The Sea, 3.00 Staunch, 3.30 Margie's Choice, 4.30 Right Direction, 5.05 Maakasib, 5.35 Gift Of Raaj.
Yarmouth 4.50 Camino, 5.20 Red Bunting, 5.50 Special Mission, 6.20 Slow To Hand, 6.50 Choco Box, 7.20 Human Nature, 7.50 Topmeup

North: Colin Russell

Musbaq (3.50 Hamilton, nap)

Yet to win a race but has dropped to a very good mark. Fair effort when a staying-on fifth over 1m1f at Hamilton last time and, with today's longer trip expected to suit, is fancied to get off the mark in this low-grade contest.

Others to follow
Hamilton 1.20 Smile A Mile, 1.50 Aleef, 2.20 Vivernus, 2.50 Ayutthaya, 3.20 Mable Lee, 4.20 Handsome Bob, 4.55 Rosemay.
Kempton 4.30 Gallipoli.
Yarmouth: 4.50 Kibaar, 7.20 Viscount Loftus, 7.50 Foxy Rebel.

Lambourn: James Burn

Fortune And Glory (4.00 Kempton, nap)

Recent course-and-distance winner under ace apprentice Nicola Currie (who is again on board) and is fancied to be in the mix again despite 5lb rise.

Others to follow
Brighton 1.40 Haylah, 2.10 Loving Pearl, 2.40 Threediamondrings, 3.10 Brexitmeansbrexit.
Hamilton 1.20 Happy Power.
Kempton 2.00 Wolf Hunter, 2.30 Meringue, 5.05 Vegas Boy, 5.35 Nylon Speed.
Newton Abbot 6.00 Passing Call, 6.30 Lord Topper.
Yarmouth 5.20 Dinastia, 6.50 Gratified, 7.20 Garth Rockett.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Top Chief (7.00 Newton Abbot, nap)

Appreciated the step up in distance to open his account for Colin Tizzard last month and ran respectably last time. Winning pointer who is fancied to add to his tally upped again in trip.

Others to follow

Kempton 3.30 Appointment Only.
Newton Abbot 5.00 Serosevsky, 5.30 Moorlands Jack, 6.30 Midnight Sapphire, 7.00 Top Chief, 7.30 Kristal Hart.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Manshood (1.50 Hamilton)

Running into form in recent starts and better than the bare facts of his last run over course and distance. Every chance of recording a third course win.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Yes You(1.50 Hamilton)

Iain Jardine's progressive filly twice sprinted to victory at Ayr recently and can overcome a penalty to complete her hat-trick.

Longshot: David Revers

Settle Petal (3.30 Kempton)

Course-and-distance winner who ran poorly at Epsom last time out. The return to the Sunbury venue should help her and she could be dangerous to dismiss at an each-way price.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Dawn Raider (7.10 Sligo)

Third in a 20-runner handicap over this 2m5f trip at the Galway festival on his most recent start, the Pat Kelly-trained six-year-old, who will be ridden by Davy Russell, gets the vote to score for the second time over hurdles.


The Raceform Interactive nugget

Willie Mullins is 13-27 (48%, +£4.43) in Sligo bumpers since he started training compared to 2-14 (14%, -£5.38) from Gordon Elliott runners. Therefore, Poker D'Ainay is statistically the strongest pick in the 8.10.
