Market Movers
Best-backed selection: Melgate Magic (17.45 Chelmsford) 5/1 from 20/1
Mick Easterby's Melgate Magic is popular at Chelmsford on his return to the all-weather. He's totally unexposed after just five career starts, while the step up to six furlongs and switch to handicap company are both clearly expected to play to his strengths.

Price Boosts - Hit or Miss?
12.40 Newbury - New Quay
HIT - Very hard to oppose given how impressive he was at Ascot and he's exceptionally well treated here compared to his future handicap mark. Capitaine the only obvious threat.
16.10 Thurles - Final List
HIT - Looks very much the one to beat and can strike here before making a name for himself over hurdles going into the winter.
14.05 Market Rasen - Casablanca Mix (Feature Boost)
MISS - Prone to the odd mistake and fell on his penultimate start before being turned over at skinny odds at Kempton on his seasonal return. Looks opposable once more.
14.15 Sedgefield - Informateur
MISS - Very short price now and happy to swerve despite his recent second looking a promising effort. Ilewin Geez technically has the stronger form in the book, anyway.
18.15 Chelmsford - Brasca
HIT - Stable's juvenile absolutely flying at the moment and the money for this colt suggests he's improved a lot for his introductory outing at Leicester in September.
14.30 Meydan - Martial Art
MISS - Makes obvious appeal but the race contains a few interesting types and the percentage call is to sit tight.
Trader Tip
Ocean Cove (14.55 Newbury)
Ready And Able looks to be the one to beat here but with four places available it could be worth opposing the short-priced favourite. One of the more interesting of the longer prices is Fergal OBrien's lightly-raced Ocean Cove, who makes his return after winning at Ayr in April when he beat 2/1 fav Darius Des Bois by over a length. A 6lb rise for that comfortable effort means he will need to find more again, but he looks a progressive type and, with conditions to suit, he can go close.
