>A deep renewal of the feature Ardonagh Group Handicap at Newbury where Nostrum and Forty Years On headline a field of 16.
>Nostrum confirmed he is back to form for new trainer Mick Appleby when running a huge race to finish second at Sandown 14 days ago and he looks well handicapped on his past results.
>Forty Years On racked up a hat-trick between March and September last season and was only just denied at Southwell when last seen. He makes his four-year-old return and must be feared as he bids to go four from four on the turf.
>Ata Rangi landed a Haydock handicap on his previous outing, while Chalk Mountain is another at each-way prices.
>A strong-looking Paul Corrigan Memorial Novice Stakes at Yarmouth sees Nevasca Cinza and Upper Hendersyde do battle at 2.45pm.
>Upper Hendersyde, related to useful Symbology and El Caballo, showed plenty when behind Golden Brown at Salisbury and he could be better for that experience.
>The James Fanshwe-trained Nevasca Cinza, rated 80 after four starts, has first-time cheekpieces on as he seeks a first success under Ross Coakley. He was beaten at odds-on at Yarmouth but the second has won since and he must be feared against less hardy rivals.
>Roger Varian's Anyasi showed promise on his debut, while Yazoo is a newcomer to note.

>A host of in-from runners contest in this Copybet Proudly Backs UK Horse Racing Handicap Chase with Peaky Boy topping the weights.
>Jonjo and AJ O'Neill's nine-year-old ran a cracker when third at Uttoxeter in May, capitalising on a dip in grade, and he must have claims having been dropped another two pounds in the weights.
>Stumps Or Slips has been successful on his last three starts including when comfortably landing a Chepstow hunter chase in April. He reverts to rules for new trainer Polly Grundy and rates an intriguing contender.
>Excello is still only a seven-year-old and will find this easier than his recent stiff assignments, while Grand Clermont and Bagheera Ginge arrive having scored on their last outing.
