NEWFANGLED (8.45 Windsor, nap)
Jonathan Portman's improving four-year-old has been in fine form this year and followed a close third at Newbury with a battling victory here last time out. He is best over this mile trip and a 2lb rise in the weights looks fair. He stays in the same grade today and is more than capable of following up.
TWILIGHT GUEST (4.10 Brighton, nb)
He had been threatening to win for a while and came good with lots left in his locker over course and distance six days ago. He's back out quickly under a penalty and won't mind the quicker conditions he faces today. Jockey David Egan can steer him home.
JETTIE'S RUN (6.45 Windsor, treble)
Signed off last season by winning at Kempton and should take a big step forward this season for Ralph Beckett who continues in fine form. She has lots of pace and will enjoy decent ground.
VICTORS DREAM (5.15 Brighton)
Is worth a place in the Lucky 15. He has a good record at this quirky track and was beaten in a tight finish here last time. He has plenty of speed for this trip and should be right there in similar company.

Rangers 'set' to offer Nicolas Raskin new deal amid interest
The Belgian has been linked with clubs in England and his former manager Philippe Clement even suggested he is ready to sign for a top half Premier League side after emerging as a leading player in the Gers squad last season. Raskin is currently contracted at Ibrox until 2027, meaning he would be heading into next summer's break with just a year left on his deal. The Scottish Sun is reporting new manager Russell Martin is keen to build his team around the 24-year-old and, as such, wants him tied down on a new contract. Sporting director Kevin Thelwell is on the same page and is ready to sanction an offer. Read more: Thelwell, along with the new US owners, want a far better player trading model in place. And committing Raskin to a new deal would be one step towards that. It would mean any interested clubs would then be aware they would be required to make a significant offer to prise him away. Discussions are yet to take place between Rangers chiefs and Raskin's representatives, but they are in the offing. It is believed the Belgium international is happy at Ibrox and keen to prolong his stay.

Galal Yafai reveals beatdowns he took from his older champion brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GALAL YAFAI reveals the beatdowns he took from his champion older brothers knocked him into the fighter he is today. Yafai grew up as the youngest boxer in the household and admits it was constant civil war at home between older siblings Gamal and Kal.

"Two-three years is a big difference. When they were 13-14 years old and I'm only just 10, it's a big jump. So yeah, I knew my position. I used to get beaten up on a little bit!" Despite taking his fair share of brotherly blows, Yafai admits the real wars came between Kal and Gamal. He said: "They were closer in age and I think they felt sorry for me a little bit because I was a little bit smaller than them. read more in boxing GAME ROVER I worked at a Land Rover factory but hated it so much it inspired Olympic dream "They had the real big fights and my mum used to come out shouting and it was kind of like hillbilly style. It kind of helped us to get where we got to. "Kal was always better than me, Gamal was always bigger and better so I don't think I ever got the better of everyone really. "I could hold my own, well I could hold my own when I got a bit older, but I think they took it easy on me. "But they always helped me anyway, it helped in my career." CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO BONUSES FROM £10 DEPOSITS Yafai trained as a teenager and watched his older brothers become amateur champions - later replicating that success in the professional ranks. The youngest of the pack only began boxing again at 18 but by 2021 he was Olympic champion after packing in his job working in a Land Rover factory. Boxing icon Tyson Fury spotted posing topless in Scots town as he chats with locals Now he is undefeated and 9-0 as a pro - meanwhile ex-world champ Kal, 36, is retired and Gamal, 33, now coaches the younger generation. But Yafai - who returns on Saturday against Francisco Rodriguez Jr in a bid to earn a shot at WBC and WBO champ Kenshiro Teraji - doubts brother Gamal will be part of his corner team - preferring he remains just a fan for now. He said: "My coach Rob McCracken sorts all that out and I just like my brothers being there. They help me just being there and showing me support and having my back. "My brother Kal's been in my corner before as like a second in America. But as long as Rob's in my corner and my brothers are there supporting me, yeah, I'm happy."
