14:30 (Newbury) Loaded Quiver

Loaded Quiver got off the mark at the third time of asking at Brighton and should make it a swift double in the Play The BetVictor Predictor Nursery Handicap.

He bumped into a potential Group performer in Per Contra on his debut before just falling short at Yarmouth, when he was a bit keen early and edged slightly across the track in the finish.

His margin of victory at Brighton was only a short head, but there was much to like about his attitude as he battled back on a course that did not particularly appear to suit and ground that may have been a shade quicker than optimal.

15:05 (Newbury) Dark Desire

Dark Desire can put a thoroughly disappointing effort behind her in the Bet In Play On Racing At BetVictor Handicap.

Karl Burke's charge had just one start last year, when pulled up at Haydock, and his trainer deserves plenty of credit for producing her to win on her return back at the Merseyside track last month.

Returning from 407 days off the track, Dark Desire recorded a cosy two-and-a-quarter-length triumph and was reasonably well supported to follow up in novice company at Thirsk earlier this month.

However, the Dark Angel filly showed nowhere near her previous form, beaten over 13 lengths in fourth on pretty testing ground.

Back on better ground and on a starting mark of 74, Dark Desire could yet come good again.

15:40 (Newbury) Sea Eagle

Sea Eagle can leave a slightly lacklustre return behind him in the Outdoor Digital Productions Handicap.

Winner of one his three juvenile runs last term, William Haggas handed Sea Eagle his first assignment of the year at Goodwood at the start of the month on ground that turned very testing following heavy rain.

Sea Eagle was making his first start since October and that possibly just told as he tried to come from off the pace but could not get in the mix, eventually being beaten eight and a quarter lengths in eighth.

It may prove that trips in excess of a mile are more his forte in due course, but the Time Test gelding can be expected to take a step forward for his first spin out.

16:50 (Newbury) Khinjani

Haggas won this in 2021 and has an interesting contender here with Unlimited, who was third on his latest start and has been gelded since.

He needs to improve, but a mark of 70 for his handicap debut looks fair. Gold Aura has done little wrong with a second and a third this season and she could also have some say, but Khinjani is hard to oppose.

A winner last time out at Haydock, she travelled well throughout for a comfortable success and an added 2lb may not be enough to stop her.
