17:52 (Newmarket) Crocus Time

Crocus Time boasts a consistent level of form having finished third on all three starts to date, including here over 7f at the start of the month.

The daughter of Acclamation was then beaten less than a length at Windsor and is expected to put her experience to best use.

Les Bleus is open to improvement stepping up a furlong in trip after her debut effort at Sandown, while Al Shabab is expected to come forward from his first start at Newbury, where he displayed plenty of inexperience.

19:35 (Newmarket) Naqeeb

As a half-brother to Baaeed and Hukum, Naqeeb's reputation went before him on his Leicester debut and he was sent off a warm order.

He had to settle for third there, but showed the benefit of the experience when going one place better at Newbury and there are good races to be won with him.

Middle Earth has done nothing wrong in finishing second at Sandown and Kempton, and is the obvious danger. The fillies Marmara Sea and Rosa Chinensis are worth a look, as is expensive newcomer Highland Song.

20:10 (Newmarket) Terwada

This can go the way of Terwada, who could not have done it any easier when getting off the mark at Nottingham and he could be well treated off a mark of 90 on his handicap debut.

The fact he is proven over further should come in handy against recent course winner Pastiche, who has yet to go beyond 7f.

Oliver Show and The Gatekeeper have the form to get involved too.

20:45 (Newmarket) King Of The Dance

Kevin Stott seems to ride this track particularly well and his presence aboard King Of The Dance could be crucial as Eve Johnson Houghton's four-year-old attempts to bounce back to the form that saw him make the frame at Newbury on his penultimate start.

Lordsbridge Girl has been knocking on the door and might give him most to think about, although Split Elevens wasn't beaten far over a mile here last month.
