HARRY THE HAGGLER (2.00 Yarmouth, nap)
This four-year-old ran a belter when third in a stronger race than this at Newmarket last time. Despite that good effort, the handicapper has dropped him by 1lb which can only help. He saves his best for this specialist seven-furlong trip and some cut in the ground suits.
STINTINO SUNSET (5.30 Nottingham, nb)
He has been on the podium for both his turf runs this season including at Leicester last time when he met plenty of traffic problems. He’s down the weights and can score with a clear run.
TRIBAL CHIEF (3.35 Yarmouth, treble)
He scored on handicap debut at Nottingham 11 days ago. His excellent trainer David Menuisier remains in good form and he can follow up under a 6lb penalty.
LAURA BAY (5.40 Newbury, Lucky 15)
She is another Menuisier who looks hard to fault. She got up on the line to win her first handicap run here last time. That was over 1m2f and this extra quarter-mile can bring lots of improvement.
