Key races and best bets
Sovereign Spell - 13:50 Newmarket
SOVEREIGN SPELL had a lot to spare in a Wolverhampton maiden last month. The fourth in that race won last week and the handicapper could have been lenient in leaving this Invincible Spirit colt's mark unchanged. Fellow Wolverhampton maiden winner Albaydaa should have more to offer this season and is second choice ahead of Treanmor and First Legion, who shaped well in a strong York nursery in his previous handicap.
Time For Sandals - 15:00 Newmarket
TIME FOR SANDALS progressed well as a 3-y-o, gaining success at the highest level in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, and she is taken to resume winning ways back down in grade. Washington Heights has developed a good record at this course and could be the main danger, while Aramram has the benefit of a recent run behind him.
Empress Olivia - 15:10 Ripon
EMPRESS OLIVIA turns out again before a 2 lb rise for her Catterick near miss kicks in and she could take a bit of pegging back against the rail. Tim Easterby's strong record in this race marks Storm Esme down as an obvious danger. Wyle Cop arrives on the back of a couple of good efforts on the all-weather last month and is next on the list ahead of the Quinn stable's new recruit Hvar.
Hankelow - 15:35 Newmarket
This looks a good Craven. HANKELOW returns to the scene of his Group 3 success last autumn and might be able to get the better of Futurity winner Hawk Mountain, who may need further than 1m this season when the ground isn't riding testing. Unbeaten pair Avicenna, who gained a narrow verdict over the selection in a 7f Doncaster listed race last year, and Hidden Force are other fascinating contenders.
Gaelic Saint - 17:30 Hereford
GAELIC SAINT matched the pick of her novice form when not beaten far in a competitive Market Rasen handicap in February and can leave behind a lesser effort in these calmer waters. She is taken to get the better of Fidendum, who remains with potential on his return, with Crystal Days also considered.
