ANDRE FABRE can mount another successful cross-Channel raid as Territories looks the pick in the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket.

The master French handler does not bring no-hopers on the trip from his Chantilly base so added to the fact this Invincible Spirit colt was supplemented for the race, Fabre has signalled a clear intent.

Strictly on the numbers, Territories has a bit to find with some of his rivals here but he will be fit for action having won his trial in the Prix de Fontainebleau at Longchamp.

While the merit of that particular piece of form could be open to slight question, he was among the leading juveniles in Europe last year, chasing home Full Mast in the Prix La Rochette before tackling the Jean-Luc Lagardere.

It was a messy renewal of the Longchamp race last autumn with Gleneagles first past the post only to be disqualified after he caused interference to those in behind, including Territories, who finished third but was promoted to second.

He was clearly blocked in his run that day but having already shown he stays a mile, Fabre's charge has every chance of well and truly levelling the scores.

The consistent Kool Kompany is expected to be thereabouts again and is worth an each-way saver.

Telescope is the clear choice in the Dunaden At Overbury Jockey Club Stakes with upwards of 7lb in hand on each of his rivals.

The five-year-old won the Hardwicke Stakes last year before going on to perform creditably in the King George, International Stakes and the Breeders' Cup Turf at Santa Anita.

He continues his quest for a Group One win this term and connections have high hopes of the Sir Michael Stoute-trained runner achieving the objective.

Pearl Secret was not beaten far in the Pearl Bloodstock Palace House Stakes last year and while his campaign petered out a little subsequently, he is still worthy of respect as he tackles the sprint heat once more.

Best Of Times won two of three juvenile outings and can pick up where he left off in the Harbour Watch Newmarket Stakes.

From the family of the great filly Dahlia, the Dubawi colt holds a clutch of big-race entries and victory in this Listed heat could mark him as a Classic contender.

Stoute should also be on the mark at Goodwood with Provenance a likely type in the Betfred "Double Delight" British Stallion Studs EBF Conqueror Stakes.

The four-year-old hit the bar at Listed level last term but appears a typical Stoute horse who can go on again this term.

Johnny Cavagin ran out a narrow winner at Doncaster back in March and a 4lb rise for that success should not be enough to stop him in the totepool Thirsk Hunt Cup at the Yorkshire venue.

Tohfa is the choice in the Betdaq £200 Games Bonus Handicap at Doncaster while Things Change can land Hexham's Independent Racecourses Ltd (IRL) Novices' Chase.

Upsanddowns can make a winning start over fences in the Sentinel May Un Mar Lady Beginners' Chase at Uttoxeter.

Annie Power can atone for her final-flight fall at Cheltenham by landing the Irish Stallion Farms European Breeders Fund Mares Champion Hurdle on the final day of the Punchestown Festival.

Willie Mullins' charge only had to jump the last to notch a wide-margin win but she crashed through the obstacle - a mistake she will hopefully avoid this time.

Fiscal Focus can land the AES Champion Four Year Old Hurdle as he returns from a break.
