Eyecatcher

Post Rider (6.00 Chelmsford)

Handicappers' nap

Duyfken (3.20 Ayr)
The Nick Alexander-trained four-year-old improved his RPR with each run last season and continued his progress when a good third at Kelso on his reappearance. Should be hard to beat with that run under his belt.

West Country nap

Sforza Castle (3.35 Lingfield)
Has been given a break since underperforming at Worcester. Unexposed and should improve for the switch to chasing and should relish conditions.

Dark horse

Battleofbaltimore (5.30 Chelmsford)
Awkwardly away and keen throughout last time over course and distance and did well to finish as close as he did. Needs to settle better in first-time cheekpieces, but claims if more tractable this time around.
