Handicappers' nap

Nells Son (3.20 Ayr)

Shaped like a certain future winner when just touched off on his Doncaster debut and this looks a good opportunity.

Ace tipster

Brother Bennett (2.58 Plumpton)

Second run back from a break was a big improvement on the first and this ten-year-old is now just 1lb higher than when an easy winner at Fontwell in January.
Paul Kealy

Newmarket nap

Aureum (4.30 Kempton)

Three-year-old disappointed on her debut here in the summer but has been working as if she could put that to rights on the Al Bahathri of late.
David Milnes

Spotlight nap

Prize Fighting (6.00 Kempton)

Low-mileage three-year-old who posted his best effort when second of 11 in handicap over course and distance 47 days ago, finishing well after winner had got first run on him. Has more to offer so a big player nudged up just 1lb.

Dark horse

Darkest Day (2.23 Plumpton)

Pulled-up last time out but reportedly finished lame and that effort can be excused. Any further rain should aid his cause and this is a weaker contest than when placed off a 10lb higher mark at this track last season.
