North Yorkshire trainers Alan Swinbank and Robin Bastiman adopt a 'have-saddle-will-travel' policy tomorrow and can be rewarded with a winner apiece at Brighton.

Swinbank saddles the nap selection Bartra Rock, who gave notice that his winning turn was near at Hamilton on his latest outing.

Beaten only a neck by Next Flight, it was significant that the remainder of the field were ten lengths and more behind at the line.

Plainly coming into form and from the Swinbank stable at Melsonby near Richmond, which is enjoying a fine campaign, Bartra Rock is strongly fancied to clinch the Free Archive Video Classified Stakes. Fergal Lynch has the mount.

Valiant Romeo goes for the attheracespoker.com Handicap over an extended five furlongs.

A Musselburgh winner two outings ago,Valiant Romeo was beaten little more than a length into fourth place by One Way Ticket at Warwick last time.

He looks to have good prospects of resuming winning ways tomorrow and, in the process, making his long journey from Bastiman's Wetherby yard well worthwhile. Royston Ffrench, who knows him so well, takes the ride.

Spy Glass should get punters off to a good start in the opening At The Races Maiden Auction Stakes.

John Dunlop's filly was beaten only three-parts of a length by Gillipops on her debut at Lingfield a fortnight ago. With that experience under her belt, she has every chance of going one better here.

The in-form Oakley Absolute (4-00) and recent winner Golden Spectrum (4-30) are two others to note on the Brighton programme.

Over the sticks at Market Rasen, Norton trainer Malcolm Jefferson has good prospects of winning the Don Noble Bookmaker Novices' Hurdle with Brooklyn Brownie.

Graham Lee's mount is running well this season and there was certainly no disgrace in his latest effort at Wetherby, where he finished second to the Queen's Shining Strand, a horse held in some regard by his trainer Nicky Henderson.

Brooklyn Brownie, who was attempting to giver Shining Strand 6lb, had previously scored in pleasing style at Bangor. He should make a bold bid.

Tony McCoy and trainer Peter Bowen make a formidable partnership and the duo, responsible for two winners at Perth on Thursday, can follow-up with Touch Closer in the Don Noble Bookmaker Novices' Chase.

A useful handicap hurdler when trained by Vicki Scott, Touch Closer looks the type to make a name for himself over fences and with Welsh wizard Bowen guiding his progress, he should not be overlooked here on his chasing debut.

In The Frame, who has been in cracking form lately, gets the vote in the Don Noble Bookmaker Handicap Chase.

Evan Williams' gelding has won his last two starts and showed a battling attitude when getting home by a head at Uttoxeter on his latest start. He has a good chance of completing a hat-trick.
