Today's movers come from the meetings at Newbury and Newmarket.

"At a much tastier price than his brother’s short odds, Frankel fans may be more interested in backing his full brother today.

Back Noble Mission @ 2.77/4 Newmarket 14:15"

We start the day at Newbury for our negative in the 14:00 where Nehaam has drifted from 2.588/5 out to 3.211/5. In a small but competitive looking field, this six-year-old gelding will be looking for his fourth career win. This hold-up performer ran well in his last race, finishing fourth in a Group 3 race in October last year and a step down to Listed class suggests he has a good chance today. However, John Gosden's runner is yet to win over further than 1 mile 4 furlongs, and finished tailed off on his only start on good to soft ground. These negatives suggest he could be worth taking on today.

We head over to Newmarket for our first positive. In the 14.15 Listed Fairway Stakes there has been steady support for Noble Mission from 3.55/2 in to 2.77/4. This 3yo colt, better known as Frankel's younger sibling, is showing himself to be a top-class horse in his own right having won a Listed race last time out and two of the three races he's run. Making the most of the stamina in his pedigree, his trainer Sir Henry Cecil is running him again over his winning distance of 1 mile 2 furlongs and the course where he had his last success. At a much tastier price than his brother's short odds, Frankel fans may be more interested in backing his full brother today.

Returning to Newbury for the 17.20 fillies handicap where we've seen strong support for Dance Company, in to 4.1 from 9.417/2. This 3yo is having her third start and a first run in handicap company, having won last time out at Lingfield over today's trip of 7 furlongs. William Knight's runner displayed average form in her first two runs last year at this track, but showed she has come on with age winning her maiden with ease. The market support today suggests she can notch up a second win to her name.
