1.45 Please accept my apologies for a reduced service in terms of comment on this occasion. I had a major I.T. problem this afternoon (or so it seems) whereby the first offering was completely lost, even though like a good boy, I saved all my work as I worked through the card. Onwards and upwards however by suggesting that four-year-olds have won four of the last five renewals, whilst David Nicholls boasts a good record in the race. REGAL PARADE is the call given ticks in both boxes, whilst EXTRATERRESTRIAL and DHAULAR DHAR are nominated as the main dangers.

'Favourite factor': Three favourites have scored in the last decade.

'Draw factor' (eight furlongs):: 5-6-3 (12 ran-good) 10-4-8 (9 ran-good to soft) 13-5-9-10 (18 ran-good to soft) 1-4-3-7 (18 ran-good to soft) 4-3-2-10 (16 ran-good to firm) 2-14-3-17 (17 ran-good to firm) 16-6-5-7 (18 ran-good to firm) 3-1-13-9 (17 ran-good) 7-5-4-13 (17 ran-good to firm) 11-10-4-14 (18 ran-good to firm)

2.15 Aidan O’Brien’s three-year-olds have started their sorties over here in typically successful fashion, and both ACHILL SOUND and SLIGO are respected, whilst TAJAAWEED and ALEXANDROS are suggested as the main threats, given that drying conditions will probably count against UNNEFER at this level.

'Favourite factor': Three market leaders have obliged during the study period.

2.45 RAINCOAT, SUPERSONIC DAVE and BAUER are nominated as the main dangers to MACARTHUR, who has a leading chance to give Aidan O’Brien yet another winner this side of the water.

'Favourite factor': Four market leaders have rewarded investors during the last decade.

3.15 BEFORTYFOUR, MEY BLOSSOM and SECRET ASSET will probably represent yours truly, though the likes of ROSE SIOG and TEN DOWN are vying for a place in my toteplacepot permutation at the time of writing.

'Favourite factor': Just two favourites have won of late, though eight of the last ten winners scored at 8/1 or less.

'Draw factor' (five furlongs): 3-6-1 (8 ran-good) 1-5-9 (12 ran-good to firm) 4-6-2 (10 ran-good to soft) 7-8-14 (15 ran-soft) 8-1-6 (15 ran-good) 11-1-5 (10 ran-good to firm) 1-7-4 (14 ran-good to firm) 4-1-5 (12 ran-good) 5-2-3 (12 ran-good to firm) 5-7-2 (13 ran-good)

4.00 Barry Hills has saddled four of the last eight winners and both his raiders DEIRA DUBAI and GULF STREAM LADY hold decent chances, whilst my trio against the field is completed by AMYLEE.

'Favourite factor': The last five favourites have won this fillies’ maiden event.

'Draw factor' (seven furlongs): 4-5-13 (13 ran-good) 3-5 (5 ran-good to soft) 5-2-7 (10 ran-good to soft) 7-2 (6 ran-good to soft) 6-1-9 (9 ran-good to firm) 5-4 (7 ran-good to firm) 3-7-10 (10 ran-good to firm) 1-3 (7 ran-good) 2-1-9 (10 ran-good to firm) 4-1-6 (8 ran-good)

4.35 STRETTON attmepts to win this event for the third consecutive year on his seasonal bow, and AUREATE (ignore the run on bad ground at Newbury last time out) and STELLINO might offer most resistance this time around.

'Favourite factor': All ten favourites have been beaten during the study period.

'Draw factor' (twelve furlongs): 1-5-3 (12 ran-good) 11-2-4 (13 ran-good to soft) 10-3-6 (13 ran-good to soft) 4-5-9 (12 ran-good to soft) 1-10-2 (13 ran-good to firm) 14-7-2 (14 ran-good to firm) 6-3-11 (13 ran-good to firm) 13-3-6 (12 ran-good) 1-7-2 (12 ran-good to firm) 3-11-6 (11 ran-good to firm) 8-1-10 (11 ran-heavy)
