Newmarket: David Milnes

Jack The Truth ( 2.10 Southwell, nap)

Made no mistake on his first all-weather start to thrash Ladies Best by three lengths here last month. George Scott's sprinter has plenty of gate speed and is expected to handle this drop back to the minimum trip.

Others to follow
Southwell: 1.10 New World Power, 1.40 Vroom, 2.10 Jack The Truth, 3.40 Canadian Royal.
Wolverhampton: 4.10 Tasaaboq, 5.10 Arnarson, 6.10 Desert Wind, 6.40 King Kevin.

West Country: Tim Mitchell

Copain De Classe (2.20 Ludlow, nap)

Looked the likely winner until lack of a recent run kicked in on
chasing debut but that was a most encouraging effort behind the useful Benatar. With that run under his belt he is fancied to take the
beating.

Others to follow
Ludlow: 1.50 Victarion, 2.50 Ellens Way, 3.50 Cheeky Chica.
Musselburgh: 3.00 Ut Majeur Aulmes.

Lambourn: James Burn

Simonia (3.50 Ludlow, nap)

Champion trainer Nicky Henderson has a decent strike-rate at the track and rates this homebred mare who is a half-sister to former Seven Barrows star Simonsig. She strengthened up nicely over the summer and should be on the scene.

Others to follow
Ludlow: 1.50 Peculiar Places, 2.20 Sister Sibyl.
Southwell: 1.10 Speciality.
Wolverhampton: 5.10 De Little Engine, 5.40 Outer Space, 6.10 Pilgrim Soul, 6.40 Jack Of Diamonds.

North: Colin Russell

Mixboy (3.00 Musselburgh, nap)

Won three times over fences last season and he has since proved a useful performer on the Flat. Stable is in fine form and he is fancied to make a winning return to chasing.

Others to follow
Musselburgh: 1.00 Kelpies Myth, 1.30 Martiloo, 2.00 Rhythm Of Sound, 2.30 Lady London, 3.30 Paper Promise.
Southwell: 12.40 Shine Baby Shine, 1.10 Fabella Bere, 1.40 Kommander Kirkup, 2.40 Zaeem, 3.10 Tatlisu, 3.40 Fortinbrass.
Wolverhampton: 4.10 Breaking Free, 4.40 Bush Beauty, 5.10 Tavener, 5.40 Acrux, 6.10 Barbara Villiers, 6.40 Archipeligo, 7.10 Sooqaan.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

The Dellercheckout (1.50 Ludlow, nap)

Expensive recruit from the pointing field who has shaped well on both starts over hurdles to date. Sets a good standard in what could prove to be a decent maiden hurdle.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Look My Way (1.20 Ludlow)

Decent performer on the Flat, may have bumped into one on his hurdling debut at Newcastle a month ago and compensation looks on the cards.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Rocking Rudolph (2.10 Southwell)

Nothing to shout about since her C&D maiden win on debut, but this lightly-raced sort has dropped to a career-low mark so can't be ignored.

Raceform Interactive nugget

Brian Hughes has staggeringly good form figures of 1131313111 (70% +£25.99) when riding for Donald McCain since May 2017. They team up with Character Onesie in the 1.00 at Musselburgh.
