Eastern World
1.50 Newmarket
bet365 Mile Handicap, 1m

The half-brother to two-time Dubai World Cup winner Thunder Snow, Eastern World finished behind smart prospects in Starcat and King Leonidas on his first two outings, but struck at the third time of asking last time. He put two lengths between himself and the field at Newmarket, and undoubtedly retains potential.

Declared Interest
2.05 Ascot
Betfred "Ascot Official Bookmaker" Fillies' Handicap, 1m

The daughter of Declaration Of War was a respectable fifth in the Sandringham over course and distance last month, and holds every chance in this Class 3 event. Ralph Beckett has been in good form of late and further improvement could be on the cards for this filly.

Indie Angel
2.25 Newmarket
British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies' Handicap, 7f

The Dark Angel filly produced a career-best effort last time when a tight second behind the progressive Notforalongtime. She steps back to fillies' company at headquarters and receives plenty of weight from all her rivals.

Dubai Souq
2.40 Ascot
"Play Nifty Fifty Exclusively At Betfred" Handicap, 1m4f

An easy winner at Nottingham last October, the son of Dubawi makes his seasonal reappearance in this competitive looking handicap. He has some useful form to his name, including a debut fourth behind Pyledriver, and should be suited by a step up in trip.

3.00 Newmarket
bet365 Superlative Stakes (Group 2), 7f

John Gosden has yet to land this juvenile Group 2 but he may have found the candidate to break that mould in Seventh Kingdom. An eyecatching winner on debut, the colt is reunited with David Egan and has the pedigree to figure now stepping up in grade.

3.15 Ascot
Betfred Summer Mile Stakes (Group 2), 1m

Unlucky in running in the Queen Anne Stakes, the dual Group 3 winner bids to bounce back in this Group 2 event. Held in high regard by Marcus Tregoning, he was fifth in the Queen Elizabeth II last season, having returned from injury. He could prove himself a top-level competitor here.

3.35 Newmarket
Darley July Cup Stakes (Group 1), 6f

Kevin Ryan and Kevin Stott have built up a formidable partnership and bid for further Group 1 success with the Diamond Jubilee winner. Having struck on soft ground in last year's Sprint Cup, the ease in conditions at Newmarket should hold no fears as he takes on the Classic generation, headed by Commonwealth Cup winner Golden Horde.

3.50 Ascot
Betfred Heritage Handicap, 5f

Sixth in the Wokingham last month, Stone Of Destiny struck over course and distance in August, seeing off the Listed-placed Final Venture. He was not beaten far last time and holds claims on his best efforts.

4.10 Newmarket
bet365 Bunbury Cup (Heritage Handicap), 7f

The Royal Ascot winner lines up for Richard Hannon and Jim Crowley, having readily struck in the Buckingham Palace Handicap. Still lightly raced at four, he looks a solid favourite for owner Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum, who has already enjoyed an excellent season.

He appears to be the pick of Crowley and was raised 7lb for his win at the royal meeting.
