6.10 toteplacepot Races 1 To 6 Apprentice Handicap (6) 1¼m

Timeform Top Rated:
69 4. MINIATURE DAFFODIL David Evans Rossa Ryan (3)
68 3. ARLECCHINO’S ARC Mark Usher Jason Watson (5)
59 1. SNATTY DANCER Hughie Morrison Charlie Bennett

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Miniature Daffodil is the sole previous winner in the field (gained over C&D last month) and the return to this venue coupled with the addition of cheekpieces for the first time could be enough to double his tally. Arlecchino’s Arc is the obvious danger, though Snatty Dancer is surely capable of better.

6.40 toteexacta Pick The 1st And 2nd Handicap (5) 1¼m

Timeform Top Rated:
87 3. VERSTAPPEN Marco Botti Non Runner
85 1. DREAM POINT Joseph Patrick O’Brien Adam Kirby
84 6. KNIGHT IN ARMOUR Mark Johnston P. J. McDonald

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Dream Point shaped well in 2 of 3 starts in AW maidens, and with the booking of Adam Kirby a sign of intent, he is selected to make a successful handicap bow. Rustang ended 2017 in good heart over this C&D and is a big danger if returning at that level.

7.10 totequadpot Races 3 To 6 Handicap (3) 1¼m

Timeform Top Rated:
108 2. OASIS CHARM Charlie Appleby William Buick
107 3. MARATHA Stuart Williams P. J. McDonald
106 1. FIRE FIGHTING Mark Johnston Adam Kirby

Analyst’s Verdict:
Oasis Charm lacks a recent run and makes his AW debut, but he’s in top hands and took his form to a new level when runner-up in a Newmarket handicap over this trip in July. There could be more to come from him and he’s preferred to Maratha and Fire Fighting, who are the obvious threats.

7.45 totetrifecta Pick The 1,2,3 Handicap (6) 1m

Timeform Top Rated:
76 2. CANDESTA Julia Feilden Daniel Muscutt
75 1. ANDALUSITE John Gallagher Joe Fanning
75 7. MR POTTER Richard Guest Connor Beasley

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Magicinthemaking showed much improved form when runner-up here (7f) 2 weeks ago and remains low mileage compared to her rivals. Candesta stepped up on his return when a good second over C&D and is next best ahead of Mr Potter.

8.15 toteswinger Two In The First Three Novice Median Auction Stakes (5) 7f

Timeform Top Rated:
90 3. IRISH MINISTER Joseph Patrick O’Brien Adam Kirby
82p 4. LORD VETINARI Andrew Balding Oisin Murphy
80 1. MONT KINABALU Kevin Ryan Tom Eaves

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Irish Minister found only a potentially smart colt too good at Dundak 2 weeks ago and sets a high standard. Lord Vetinari showed plenty in a couple of runs last summer and is next best ahead of penalised-winner Mont Kinabalu.

8.45 totescoop6 Rollover This Saturday Handicap (6) 7f

Timeform Top Rated:
74 7. SHOWDANCE KID Kevin Frost Clifford Lee (3)
73 2. YOGIYOGIYOGI Denis Coakley Oisin Murphy
73 3. BREATHOFFRESHAIR Richard Guest Franny Norton

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Showdance Kid confirmed his return to form when third at Wolverhampton on Monday and is evidently one to be interested in again now. Yogiyogiyogi and Breathoffreshair are others to consider.

9.15 Billy Ocean On Ladies Day Handicap (6) 7f

Timeform Top Rated:
73 3. GEETANJALI Michael Bell Joe Fanning
72 2. INUK Richard Hughes Nicola Currie (5)
72 9. OLIVE MABEL Dean Ivory Jack Duern (3)

Analyst’s Verdict: 
Geetanjali showed improved form to get off the mark on handicap debut at Wolverhampton 2 weeks ago despite not yet looking the finished article and she’s taken to defy a 3 lb rise. Inuk turned in another good effort at Lingfield last time and is feared most ahead of Olive Mabel.
