MC'TED looks worth an each way interest for 3 places in this runner race at the 16/1 currently on offer with Bet365. He has a great record over C&D with form figures reading 12261 and he has also dropped to 4lb below his last winning mark. For a much more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

STIRRUP CUP run his best race to date over C&D in a Class 2 race last September, where he finished 2.5 lengths behind the winner, who was very well-handicapped and went on to rate 23lb higher. He effectively ran into one that day. This time, he runs in a Class 4 race and will be fitter for his third start of the season, with a 2lb lower mark than when he ran here last year. Sean Kirrane, who has a solid record at the track (5-29, 17% SR), takes the ride for the first time and he has conditions to suit. For a more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

MOONJID looks worth chancing each way dropped 3lb, down in Class, dropped back to a more suitable 1-mile trip, fitter on his third start of the season. Each way advised for 4 places in this 14-runner affair.

V POWER looks worth an each way interest for 4 places in this 11-runner affair. He ran well on his seasonal debut over 1m4f at Chepstow 29 days ago, finishing 4th of 11, just 2.5 lengths behind the winner. It was a solid effort coming off a 161-day break, and the form is holding up well, with the 2nd placed horse winning next time out and now rated 8lb higher, while the 5th placed horse, who finished 1.75 lengths behind V Power, also won on his next start. V POWER is trained by the Thomas Faulkner yard, which is having a good season (10 wins from 58 runners, 17% strike rate), and the first-time booking of Silvestre De Souza stands out. This will be only the second time he has ridden for the yard in the last five years.

FANTASTIC FOX has been well-beaten in two valuable handicaps recently but I watched the races back and think he had genuine excuses on each occasion. He is a C&D winner, is well drawn in stall 7, and I really like the first-time booking of Ray Dawson, who has a good record when riding for the yard (43 - 254, 17% SR). Roger Varian himself also has a great record at the track, with 46 winners from 178 runners (26%). Could go close at an each way price.

I like the first-time booking of Cian Horgan on YAKHABAR as he has a 50& strike rate when riding for the yard over the past 5 years (3-6). The selection has ran well at this sort of distance in the past so will like this 2m1f on Good ground. For a more detailed write-up please see my X feed.

EXQUISEMENT has dropped a stone down the weights for three runs in May and has an apprentice taking a further 3lb off. Looks worth chancing at the 66/1 odds currently available with 3 places on offer in this 7-runner race now dropped to 5f.

HACKNEY DIAMONDS has dropped 4lb down the weights since last September to just 1lb above her last winning mark. That win came on her only other attempt at this 7f trip at Leicester last July. I like that first-time booking Ryan Kavanagh takes a useful 5lb off her back and with a pipe-opener under her belt 12-days ago over a mile she is likely to strip fitter here. She looks an each way bet for 3 places at 7/1 - 8/1.

ELWATEEN looks the each way bet at 12/1 in a tough renewal of the Oaks. She finished just 2.25 lengths behind the reopossing Favourite, Desert Flower, in the 1000 Guineas over a mile at Newmarket 33-days ago but could be the one more likely to improve for this step up to 1m4f. Her trainer says she "needs further" and "a bit more give in the ground would suit". For a much more detailed preview please see my X feed.
