Mark Tompkins's yard has got off to a flyer this Flat season. And conditions are right for Topatori, who has already scored this term, to contribute further by landing the Coral Rosebery Handicap at Kempton today.

The Newmarket trainer puts his early success down to the mild winter having allowed him to prepare his charges for a good start to the campaign. But it is the recent downpours which have been beneficial to Topatori who revels in soft ground.

She proved as much with a three-length success over Queen's Insignia in a one-mile handicap at Leicester at the beginning of the month. Held up, the filly made ground to take up the running a furlong from home before storming clear to land the spoils.

As she will be better suited by this extra two furlongs and most of her rivals will find the underfoot conditions unsuitable Topatori warrants the nap vote.

Another who should benefit from stepping up in trip by two furlongs is Russian Music, who contests the Magnolia Stakes. Gay Kelleway's charge made a pleasing seasonal debut when three lengths second to Hornbeam over a mile at Doncaster.

The gelding was staying on well at the finish that day after being run off his feet early on. The longer trip of today's listed event should be no problem.

The same cannot be said about Witching Hour who finished half a length behind Russian Music at Doncaster. The Kelleway runner can confirm his superiority and supply another success for Kieren Fallon in defence of his jockeys' title.

It may be worth taking a gamble on Hever Golf Rocket handling the heavy ground at the Sunbury track. If he can, then the Teal Handicap looks within his grasp.

Victory could complete a double for jockey Pat Eddery whose mount Volontiers can take the opening Stark Maiden, an event the former champion jockey also landed last year.

Judging by his performance when a half-length second to Charlene Lacy in the Brocklesby Stakes at Doncaster on the opening day of the turf season, Principality looks to have the ability to win a race.

Newcastle's opening Brighton Races Novices' Stakes looks to be a suitable opportunity for Jack Berry's charge. Small fields are the order of the day at Chepstow where Adrian Maguire makes yet another comeback from injury.

The popular rider, whose first visit to the Cheltenham Festival in four years resulted in a broken collar-bone, should return to action with a winner courtesy of Relkeel in the three-runner Welsh Champion Hurdle.
