The Punt nap
Germanic (1.30 Doncaster)
Produced his career-best turf RPR in a soft-ground handicap on his only visit to Doncaster. The cheekpieces worn for the only time that day return and he’s well handicapped off 5lb lower.

Handicappers’ nap
Heart Above (3.20 Kelso)
Posted a career best RPR when scoring over a slightly longer trip at today’s course last month and, although raised 6lb for that, Charlie Maggs takes a valuable 5lb off and he should make a bold bid to follow up.

Eyecatcher
Beta Reader (8.00 Wolverhampton)
Charlie Johnston’s gelding was a close second and clear of the rest at Chelmsford last time despite a less than ideal trip. The winner has since given the form a decent boost.

Dark horse
Sea Scout (3.45 Newbury)
He’s found extra improvement in his last two runs in France that have a strong look to them, with the form of the Prix Nureyev working out particularly well. That progress might have been helped by softer conditions, which he will appreciate here again.

Topspeed
Anyway (4.05 Cheltenham)
Put in a good speed figure when second to Caldwell Potter at the Cheltenham Festival in March, and although he disappointed in the Kerry National last time, he’s worth another chance over this trip.

West Country
Crest Of Fortune (1.10 Cheltenham)
Has Grade 1 form over hurdles and should take high rank as a novice chaser this season.
