SBC News: Reeh
Broadhaven Honey did well on debut at Leicester but Reeh’s first outing is more respected given the greater quality of the field.
bettingexpert: Broadhaven Honey
Shaped well on her debut 16 days ago and sets a fair standard for her unraced rivals to aim at.
Timeform: Reeh
Promising debut fifth at Ascot and she could be hard to beat with improvement on the cards here.
Ladbrokes: Parlance
Sir Michael Stoute’s horses are in great form and could be one for the future.

SBC News: East Coast Lady
Without a win in almost 2 years, but ranks well for this race and has a point to prove.
bettingexpert: East Coast Lady
Should strip fitter for her recent reappearance and has ideal conditions to go close.
Timeform: Darma
Darma’s Kempton form has been boosted a couple of times since and Martyn Meade’s charge could be the answer in a race where a few of her rivals arrive with a bit to prove.
Ladbrokes: Meandmyshadow
A pretty average looking race but we’ll go each-way on Dale Swift’s ride.

SBC News: Salvo
A winner at Newmarket last year, and reappeared at the same venue 3 weeks ago showing some decent form.
bettingexpert: Intermittent
Had excuses for a disappointing handicap debut last time out and can get back on track here under George Baker.
Timeform: Stars N Angels
Stars N Angels has been threatening to come good and today could be the day with Luke Morris up.
Ladbrokes: Eternally
A while off the track but should improve today.

SBC News: Spark Plug
Has continued to show decent form in this sort of handicap race, and performed creditably at Newbury last time out.
bettingexpert: Fort Bastion
Caught the eye last time and hails from the astute O’Meara yard that seems to be hitting form.
Timeform: The Warrior
The Warrior looks on a handy mark, catching the eye again at Goodwood last time, and he could return to winning ways fitted with a tongue tie here.
Ladbrokes: The Warrior
Best of a bad bunch here, but will be interesting to see if the tongue tie works.

SBC News: Pamona
A first time visor should help her to an improved performance after disappointment at Goodwood.
bettingexpert: Pamona
Runs with the visor on for the first time, and will be a lot sharper after a disappointing seasonal debut.
Timeform: Weetles
The form shown in her reappearance victory at Windsor was strong and she looks a big player here.
Ladbrokes: Sagaciously
Yard in great form and sure to make a place at the very least.

SBC News: Scarpeta
On an upward curve of form, the quality horse in this field is seeking a hat-trick.
bettingexpert: Scarpeta
Comes here on a roll and can complete a hat-trick.
Timeform: Scarpeta
Hard to ignore the claims of Scarpeta, who readily made all at Wolverhampton last week and a 6lb penalty doesn’t look enough to stop him completing a quick hat-trick.
Ladbrokes: Aristocles
Up in trip and first time head gear could prove all the difference for this Stoute horse.

SBC News: Little Choosey
Has been running pretty well in the last few months and capped a good spell of recent form with victory at Wolverhampton.
bettingexpert: Ifan
Has found his form on decent ground this spring and can continue the hot run for Tim Vaughan.
Timeform: Hydrant
Hydrant has edged down to a career-low mark and might be worth siding with having shaped as if back in better form on his last 2 starts.
Ladbrokes: Ifan
Wide open race, but Ifan has been well backed today.
