Newmarket

3.50 I fancy What a Name to just get the better of Hot Snap here with the outsider Diaminda claiming third place.

5.00 Vanity Rules made a favourable impression when runner up here on her second run last season.

5.35 Recent course and distance winner Soviet Rock can land this.

Doncaster

6.10 Emerald Sea is an interesting runner here. He showed enough in a couple of stats last season to suggest there is more to come. He might be worth a small each way investment here but he looks the type to do well in handicaps later in the season.

6.45 The progressive Enrol can win this for his in form stable.

Goodwood

3.30 Duke of Firenze is potentially well treated and will eb suited by the drying ground.

Newmarket

2.05 The lightly raced Danchai looks one to follow.

2.35 Heeraat and Pearl Secret should go well here. Heeraat has the benefit of a recent run which may just give him the edge.

3.50 Not very original but Dawn Approach looks the one to beat.

4.25 Agerzam is one to considerbased on his two starts at Kempton, as is the unbeaten Secretinthepark. For my selection though I am going to opt for the Doncaster maiden winner Robot Boy who looks a fair prospect.

5.35 This could be between Red Avenger and Country Western. The former is a course and distance winner but needs to comeback from a poor run last time out and the selection is Country Western who may still be improving.

Thirsk selections

4.35 Lord Aeryn

5.10 Chancery.

5.45 Come on Dave

Haydock

5.25. I am hoping that Chancery can make his experience count in this maiden.

7.30 The in form Hi There can follow up his Musselburgh win under a penalty.

Leicester

3.55 This can go to the lightly raced Aljamaaher who has run well in better company.

Sandown

4.25 Dashing Star may be ahead of the handicapper and is the selection despite the trip perhaps on the short side.

Beverley

3.35 The 4 times winner Maybeagrey should be fitter for her recent run at Newcastle. Upped in trip she looks value at around 12/1.

Newcastle

6.20 Dick Bos ran poorly last time out but is worth another chance here.
