Longshot

TIKI FIRE (6.45 Leicester)

It’s still early days for this three-year-old who has run well on her past two runs at Nottingham. The handicapper has dropped her down the weights and her jockey takes off a valuable 5lb.

Each way thief

EAGLEWAY (3.10 Newcastle)

He ran an absolute cracker when second in the 27-runner Victoria Cup at Ascot last time out. He has been raised a fair 4lb for that and has every chance in these calmer waters.

KIMIFIVE (4.10 Newmarket)

It’s been a while since his last win but he’s been knocking on the door with good thirds at Goodwood and Epsom. He likes this trip and will be right in the mix again.

Templegate has a pick in every race on Thursday.

2.10 Fast Steps (treble)

Improved plenty when scoring at Epsom last time out.

2.45 Taraashoq

Solid effort at Leicester and can take a step forward.
