Newmarket: David Milnes

Altra Vita (3.30 Beverley, nap)

Sir Mark Prescott has his team in fine fettle and this three-year-old is fancied to notch a four-timer now she steps up to two miles. The three-year-old was going on at the death when winning at Bath last time and has since moved well on Warren Hill.

Racing Post Ratings: Simon Turner

Island Song (5.30 Beverley)

Created a good impression when winning at Ayr last week, travelling well before coming clear with another to post a career best. Well treated under the fixed penalty.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

North Korea(2.40 Bath)

Her convincing Lingfield success six days ago warranted a personal best on the stopwatch and David Evans' youngster can shrug off her penalty.

Longshot: Sam King

Overtrumped (5.20 Chelmsford)

Mike Murphy's horse could find the improvement to be involved at the finish on handicap debut and Andrea Atzeni looks a positive booking.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Arthurian Fame (7.00 Killarney)

Runner-up on his first two starts before making all to land a three runner maiden over 1m2f at Navan last month, the son of Camelot can follow up against six rivals over a two furlong shorter trip and gets the vote to score for Joseph and Donnacha O'Brien.
