Johnston's Prestbury should have a walk in the park on all-weather debut

Prestbury Park has shown good form on turf and is expected to run just as well on all-weather

Newmarket: David Milnes

Spiritual Lady (2.15 Nottingham,nap)

Bypassed a straightforward engagement at Newmarket last Friday on account of the fast ground and should find this surface more suitable. Charlie McBride's speedster is well drawn and has moved well on Warren Hill of late.

Others to follow
Nottingham 1.05 Rhode Island, 3.55 Lazarus.
Kempton 4.40 Espadrille, 5.10 Sharp Reminder, 5.40 Light Relief, 6.10 Lady Of Aran, 6.40 Alqamar, 7.40 Seinfeld.

Lambourn: James Burn

Mystique (5.40 Kempton, nap)

The daughter of Oasis Dream was well regarded by Charlie Hills in the summer, but was always likely to need time, which she has had, so no surprise to see improvement from her first outing.

Others to follow
Chepstow
1.25 Mahlermade, 2.00 Capsy de Mee, 2.35 Pontresina.
Kempton 4.40 Dance Me, 5.10 Bubble And Squeak.
Nottingham 1.05 Balkhash, 1.40 Oskemen, 3.55 Lady Valdean.

West Country: Andrew King

Daklondike (3.40 Chepstow,nap)

Won in workmanlike style at Wetherby last weekend and makes a quick reappearance. Expected to follow up.

Others to follow
Chepstow 2.00 Muffins For Tea, 2.35 Western Honour, 3.10 Waterloo Warrior, 4.15 Chief Sittingbull.

North: Richard Young

Prestbury Park (6.10 Kempton, nap)

An Irish 2,000 Guineas entry who has shown very useful form on turf and his pedigree suggests he'll be at least as effective now switched to synthetics. Should enjoy the run of the race and player back up in distance.

Others to follow
Musselburgh 12.45 Buckled, 1.15 Final Fling, 1.50 Beyond The Clouds, 2.25 Chestnut Ben, 3.00 Wot A Shot, 3.30 No Such Number.
Nottingham 12.35 Burn Some Dust, 2.15 Perfect Pasture, 2.50 Quick Look, 3.20 Ebitda, 3.55 Maraakib.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

Waltz Darling (12.45 Musselburgh, nap)

On a lengthy losing run, but half of his six career wins have come at Musselburgh and he looks well handicapped on his first at today's course since 2015.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Green Door (2.15 Nottingham)

Missed the break when sixth in a hot dash at Catterick last month but was far from disgraced and Robert Cowell's sprinter could end his lean spell.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Eddiemaurice (2.00 Chepstow)

Tough introduction to chasing last time out, but will have no problem with conditions and can't be ruled out.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Ben Rumson (8.55 Dundalk)

Although now 20lb higher than when initiating a course hat-trick in September, the Tom McCourt-trained five-year-old clearly relished the surface and he can extend his winning sequence with champion jockey Colin Keane, who has ridden him to his three victories, again on board.
