HEAVEY’S NAP

MORNING SUN (7.00 Wetherby) bolted up at Ayr last week and this former Michael Stoute-trained beast could be ahead of the handicapper. A penalty shouldn’t stop him.

BEST EACH-WAY

FOSSOS (2.40 Chepstow) has the ideal draw nearest the stands rail and has winning form at the undulating track, which is always a bonus. Will be fit for a recent run.
