"Last year's 2000 Guineas winner Night of Thunder posted some solid efforts in defeat in top company later in the campaign and can provide his yard with a fourth winner in the last six runnings of this race."

Timeform's SmartPlays team pick out three bets from Newbury on Lockinge Stakes day...

Salt Island - 14:35 Newbury

Salt Island marked himself down as a very smart sprinter in the making when easily landing what is traditionally a very strong handicap on his reappearance and can take the step up to listed level in his stride. Waady is another who has progressed rapidly through the handicap ranks and could be the one to give him most to think about ahead of Ascot third Adaay.


Dissolution - 15:10 Newbury

Sir Michael Stoute usually targets one of his most progressive three-year-olds at this race and Dissolution can add to his Newmarket reappearance success off what looks a potentially lenient 2-lb higher mark. The same owner's Time Test should come into his own over this sort of trip, while Dutch Uncle's Doncaster form has been boosted by the winner going in again since.


Night of Thunder - 15:45 Newbury

Last year's 2000 Guineas winner Night of Thunder posted some solid efforts in defeat in top company later in the campaign and can provide his yard with a fourth winner in the last six runnings of this race. Stablemate Toormore was just behind the selection in the QEII and has a good record fresh, while Integral was twice a Group 1 winner last term and should be in for another fine season.
