13:50 Newmarket – Maamora

Wedding Dance, Dubai Love and Soft Whisper are all coming off decent layoffs. It’s not a strong fancy but I’d side with Maamora for Simon and Ed Crisford. At least they’ll have race fitness on their side compared to the others. I wouldn’t put anyone off backing Maamora.

14:05 York – Chairmanoftheboard

I’m with Chairmanoftheboard for Mick Channon with David Egan on board. He can be a good front-runner and it will help at York.

14:25 Newmarket – Golden Pass

I’m leaning towards Golden Pass, who ran well at Doncaster earlier this month behind Free Wind. Ryan Moore rides for Hugo Palmer and he’s a decent price so I’d be siding with Golden Pass as an each-way bet. It’s a pretty open race.

15:00 Newmarket – Oscula

It’s a wide-open race but I’m going for Oscula, who has had two decent runs at Deauville recently. He won in August and followed it up with a third-place finish a couple of weeks later. Another one at a nice price.

15:35 Newmarket – Benbatl

Master of The Seas is coming in off the back of a lay-off, having not run since May. Because of that, I’m going with Benbatl. He ran well at Goodwood in August but just came up short. I reckon Master of The Seas is the better horse but Benbatl will be the fitter runner on the day and that could be key.

Ruby Walsh’s best bets:

13:50 Newmarket – Maamora
14:05 York – Chairmanoftheboard
14:25 Newmarket – Golden Pass
15:00 Newmarket – Oscula
15:35 Newmarket – Benbatl
