Gowran Park

Paddy Twomey has a 26 per cent strike-rate at Gowran Park and his horses are in fine form, boasting a 44 per cent strike-rate in the last fortnight prior to Friday's racing.

He has one runner on the eight-race card with Listed winner Moon De Vega contesting the Group 3 Darley Rathbride Stakes (2.30). The four-year-old filly posted her highest Racing Post Rating at this track on her penultimate start.

Newcastle

Alan Brown is top of the hot trainers' list with two winners from his last five runners in the last fortnight prior to Friday.

Urban Road is his sole runner of the day in division one of the mile handicap (5.00). The four-year-old is a two-time winner and sports a first-time visor following a below-par run at Musselburgh last time.

York

Ralph Beckett has a 20 per cent strike-rate with handicap debutants, posting a £1 level-stake profit of +£11.09.

He has two runners at York who fit the criteria. Whoop Whoop (4.00) makes her nursery debut on her fifth start but has been a beaten favourite the last twice, while Chelsea Square (5.45) is of more interest after a fair run at Newcastle last time.

Newmarket

Callum Rodriguez makes the trip down to the July course for one ride aboard James McHenry in the 1m2f handicap (2.50).

This will be the jockey's second ride at the track and it is notable he heads to Suffolk given there are two meetings on in the north. The Ed Bethell-trained James McHenry was hampered at halfway in the Golden Gates Handicap at Royal Ascot but could bounce back here with cut in the ground to suit.

Windsor

George Wood features on the hot jockeys' list with a 4-10 record before Friday evening's racing.

He has four rides at Windsor and his best chances come for Freddie and Martyn Meade. Salisbury novice winner Montauk Point bids to follow up on her handicap debut (7.30), while any support for debutant Pulpit (6.30) would be notable.
