Key races and best bets
ROCK MY WAY - 14:50 Chepstow
ROCK MY WAY had so much in hand at Ascot last time that even a 9 lb rise is potentially lenient. The main threat may come from Collectors Item, who is theoretically weighted to turn around recent course form with last year's runner-up Jubilee Express. O'Connell, Mr Vango and Haiti Couleurs also make the shortlist.
MARINE NATIONALE - 13:12 Leopardstown
MARINE NATIONALE is taken to complete a Grade 1 hat-trick on his reappearance, although Majborough would be a huge threat with anything like a clean round of jumping. Found A Fifty has returned better than ever, including defeating Majborough at Cork, and should also be on the premises.
MAMBONUMBERFIVE - 13:55 Kempton
A Grade 2 winner over hurdles at this course, MAMBONUMBERFIVE made it 2 from 2 over fences when scoring with something in hand at Newbury last month, form boosted by the runner-up winning next time, and he could be up to landing the hat-trick with further progress to come. Lump Sum has also taken very well to chasing and is feared most, ahead of Mirabad.
DOYEN DU BAR - 14:45 Wetherby
A progressive 3-time winner last season, DOYEN DU BAR made a bright start for the Nicky Richards stable when third on his reappearance at Newbury 4 weeks ago. It's feasible to think he can build on that and he shades preference over the returning Madara, who is a fascinating contender down in class. Traprain Law is also respected as an in-form sort.
PEACEINTHEVALLEY - 15:11 Limerick
PEACEINTHEVALLEY is in excellent hands and can improve now handicapping. He's narrowly preferred to interesting stable debutant Gwan Tadhg who goes well fresh and looks a likely danger if the ground dries out, while Marelly has fallen to a tempting mark as he seeks to make it 2-2 over C&D. Of the rest, Wardens Whisper and Blue Reed should be in the mix, while one-time useful bumper performer Big Dee warrants a market check in a competitive handicap.
