Key races and best bets
DESPEREAUX - 3.52 Plumpton
DESPEREAUX would have likely landed his third win of the season had it not been for a final flight blunder over C&D last month. He can make amends and confirm his superiority over Warranty, who should run well receiving a pull at the weights. Jubilant is feared if first-time cheekpieces have a positive impact.
OUR HAVANA - 6.45 Musselburgh
Having arrived in top form, OUR HAVANA is best excused his run at Doncaster last time having forced the pace upped in trip, so he is taken to resume winning ways returned to this shorter distance. He can see off the challenge of Oriental Prince, who isn't taken lightly in his bid for a 4-timer, while New Image is also considered on his return.
GROOM DE COTTE - 2.18 Stratford
Bumpy Evans will no doubt be popular having landed a gamble at Leicester last month, but he may have to play second fiddle to PALAWAN DU MAZET, who struck at the first attempt over the larger obstacles at Taunton in February (runner-up won twice since) and Alan Jones' 6-y-o is open to further improvement in this discipline. Pescatorius can edge out Walkinthewoods for the bronze medal.
