YORK-based Robert Winston, who rode four winners at Ayr yesterday to stay hot on the heels of jockeys' title race leader Jamie Spencer, can maintain his momentum at Catterick tomorrow.

Winston won on Pacific Pride, Whinhill House, Zendaro and Sovereignty yesterday, the third time this season he has ridden four winners in a day. He now has 68 winners this campaign, only six behind Spencer.

Winston was riding at Beverley this afternoon, while Spencer was at Brighton.

"I am not really thinking about the title," Winston said after his successes yesterday. "If it comes, fair enough, but there will be other years anyway.

"Things are going great. Last month I started 12 behind Jamie (Spencer) and I had a good run and ended up one in front. But I don't like being in front too long. You want to be there at the right time."

At Catterick tomorrow he rides Court Of Appeal in the Subscribe To Racing UK Claiming Stakes and is fancied to steer Brian Ellison's gelding to victory.

Although a beaten favourite on his latest start, that race was on the sand at Wolverhampton and Court Of Appeal is a better horse on turf, as he proved earlier this season when finishing fourth in a decent handicap at Chester a few days after being narrowly denied at Beverley in a similar race to the one he's in tomorrow.

Not only does Winston ride at Catterick tomorrow, but he will also be in action at Haydock in the evening.

Spencer will also be at both tracks, and he has good prospects of getting on the scoreboard at Catterick aboard Kangarilla Road in the Darlington Operatic Society 'Oklahoma' Selling Stakes.

This drop to such a low level should enable Kangarilla Road, a resepectable handicapper, to resume winning ways.

Spencer also has good prospects on Creative Mind, runner-up on his debut last week, in the Watch Racing UK Live on 432 Novice Auction Stakes.

In the Book Raceday Hospitality Handicap over five furlongs, my Nap selection Ashes can triumph for Middleham trainer Karl Burke, who had two winners yesterday - one at Ayr and the other at Wolverhampton.

Ashes, successful at Windsor last time and a winner this term over tomorrow's course and distance, has every chance of obliging again under Neil Callan.

At Haydock's evening meeting, Calculaite could well be tough to beat in the Betdaq - The Betting Exchange Handicap.

Trained by Geraldine Rees, the four-year-old has won his last two races in the style of a progressive horse. A hat-trick looks on the cards.

Gloved Hand should be the one to follow in the Betdaq Telebet Classified Stakes.

James Given's filly spreadeagled her rivals in a handicap at Ripon last time and a reproduction of that form will make her a formidable rival tomorrow.
