[Bathtime For Rupert]

1.50 Newmarket - 1pt win Highland Chief @ 9/2 (Ladbrokes)

Both this one and the favourite will enjoy the step up to a mile here and I think Highland Chief is overpriced having shown good form to win over a bare 5f on debut and then running well despite being checked at Goodwood - on a line through Positive I don't think there's much between the top two in the market here and any rain won't bother this one. 

3.05 Ripon - 1pt win Broken Spear @ 7/1 (Hills)

Has to bounce back from a poor effort last time out but ground was tacky that day and it was a hotter race than this. Mark is tumbling despite some respectable efforts in a stop-start season and down in grade with headgear on for the first time, could bounce back. 

3.40 Newmarket - 1pt win Le Don De Vie @ 15/2 (Hills)

Won cosily last time out in a small field but the runner-up has upheld the form since and this one looks a progressive type made for this type of race - a testing 1m1f with a good pace to aim at, can travel but also stay, which will come in handy at the business end. Take out his run where failing to get home over 1m4f, this is a progressive type who looks to have more to come.

4.00 Market Rasen - 2pts win Earlofthecotswolds @ 5/1 (Hills)

Shown good form back in the spring in hurdles - the form of his win last time out working out well and although that was over further, would expect plenty of use making of him here and can see these off from the front - has gone well fresh in the past and difficult to see him out of the frame here.
