Newmarket: David Milnes

Sun Maiden (3.40 Ascot, nap)

Has been laid out for this ever since romping home in her maiden at Salisbury last month and the decision to bypass the Oaks is expected to pay off. Sir Michael Stoute's filly has been in good form on Long Hill of late.

Others to follow
Ascot 2.30 Rumble Inthejungle, 3.05 Masaarr, 4.20 Stradivarious, 5.00 Corrosive, 5.35 First Eleven.

North: Colin Russell

Computable (2.45 Ripon, nap)

Sound return to action at Thirsk last month and he's dropped to a good mark. With conditions to suit and cheepieces tried, he is fancied to get off the mark for the season.

Others to follow
Ascot 2.30 Vintage Brut, 3.05 Shakour, 5.00 Alfa McGuire, 5.35 Communique.
Chelmsford 2.20 Mustaaqeem, 3.30 Rainbow Rebel, 4.45 Silver Character, 5.20 Sugar Coating.

Lambourn: James Burn

Wadilsafa (3.05 Ascot, nap)

Promising colt has a lovely pedigree and should enjoy the quick ground and stepping up to 1m2f should not be a problem. Trainer Owen Burrows is confident he will be in the mix.

Others to follow
Ascot 2.30 Konchek, 3.40 Perfect Clarity, 4.20 Mount Moriah, 5.00 Crack On Crack On, 5.35 Corgi.
Chelmsford 3.30 Nathan, 4.05 Hollydaze, 4.45 Elysees.
Ffos Las 7.45 The Bottom Bar, 8.15 Beneagles, 9.15 Rose Of Cimarron.

West Country: Andrew King

Delface (9.15 Ffos Las, nap)

Found the testing ground over the winter and spring against him but should have no difficulties in getting home on this faster surface.

Others to follow
Chelmsford 2.55 Sir Roderic 3.30 Master Carpente
Ffos Las 6.40 Jeu De Mots 8.15 Iniciar 8.45 Marvellous Monty.

Racing Post Ratings: Paul Curtis

Order Of St George (4.20 Ascot)

Top class stayer who rates the clear form pick as he bids to repeat his 2016 success in this race.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Corrosive (5.00 Ascot)

Displayed a determined attitude to complete his hat-trick over course and distance six weeks ago and may not have finished winning yet.

Longshot: Dave Revers

Max Dynamite (4.20 Ascot)

Willie Mullins could have another winner this week with his dual-purpose, globetrotting star. Placed in two Melbourne Cups, the eight-year-old should stay this trip granted quick ground, and offers each-way value against the field.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

California Daddy (6.30 Leopardstown)

Runner-up on both of his previous starts, more recently over seven furlongs at this track last month, the son of Scat Daddy steps up to a mile for the first time and his fitness will be an asset. He gets the vote to score for Ger Lyons and Colin Keane.
