WARTHILL trainer Noel Wilson has saddled Santiburi Lad to win his last two starts and is fancied to produce more of the same with the gelding tomorrow at Haydock where he has significantly booked Kieren Fallon to take the mount.

The hat-trick bid will be attempted in the Paddy Power Dial-A-Bet Handicap and the seven-year-old promises to take all the beating.

Santiburi Lad landed an amateur riders' event over this course and distance on his penultimate start, with Nikki Wilson, the trainer's wife, in the saddle.

On his latest outing, the gelding was a revelation at Beverley, making all the running and coming eight lengths clear of his toiling rivals.

Santiburi Lad can expect the handicapper to be catching up with him shortly, but he may find another winning opportunity tomorrow before he is reeled into line.

Fallon can also score on another North Yorkshire-trained horse, Silverhay, in the paddypower.com Handicap.

The three-year-old has been in the frame in all his three starts this season. A winning turn now looks likely.

Chimali is an interesting contender in the Paddy Power NSPCC Handicap over five furlongs.

Gerard Butler's charge was making his first appearance of the season, and only the second of his career, when winning at Beverley last time.

That was a modest race, but Chimali could do no more than win cosily. Open to plenty of improvement, he is not one to underestimate in his first handicap.

Magic Combination, who has been running well recently in defeat, deserves another chance in the Paddy Power Football Furlong Handicap. Paul Mulrennan, Mick Easterby's good apprentice, takes the mount this time on Len Lungo's gelding.

At Warwick, Laurel Dawn is napped to show his rivals a clean pair of heels in the £10,000 totesport.com Handicap over five-and-a-half furlongs.

A fluent Beverley winner last month, Laurel Dawn, trained by Ian McInnes, failed by only a short-head to beat the in-form Foley Millennium at Haydock on his latest outing, after being bumped at the start. Compensation awaits him here from the favoured inside stall.

Burnt Copper has every chance of capturing the Bathwick Tyres Riders' Handicap.

John Best's gelding won a similar race to this at Pontefract earlier in the week and a 5lb penalty may not anchor his quick-fire double.

Coronglais, formely trained by Tim Easterby and now with Milton Bradley, has been showing signs of a return to form recently.

The Devoncliffe Buy A Caravan Classified Stakes offers the four-year-old a good chance of getting his head in front. Ryan Moore has the mount.
