SILVER KNIGHT can make his presence felt at Wetherby tomorrow.

The five-year-old, trained by Tim Easterby, goes for the Harry Atkinson Memorial Beginners' Chase, a race named in honour of the former owner-breeder and fellmonger, from Thorpe Bassett near Malton, who died last year.

A winning hurdler, Silver Knight did everything right on his chasing debut Carlisle at the beginning of the month, only to be beaten a whisker in a thrilling finish.

Silver Knight looks sure to make a name for himself over the larger obstacles and tomorrow's five-runner event looks a good opportunity for him to shine.

Sir Storm can lift the featured £10,000 Rocom Handicap Chase over two miles.

George Moore's charge is a previous winner over this course and distance and his recent runner-up effort behind the well-fancied Log On Intersky at Ayr left the impression that his winning return is not far away. Anthony Ross has the mount.

Fantastico merits attention in the Countryside Juvenile Novices' Hurdle.

Narrowly beaten by Jake Black at Newcastle last time in a similar event, Kate Walton's three-year-old should make a bold bid to go one better here. Richard McGrath will be in the saddle.

Vintage Premium, a high-class handicapper on the Flat, created a good impression at Ayr earlier this month when finishing second to Chivalry, another smart Flat recruit, on his hurdling debut.

Richard Fahey's six-year-old has what it takes to make a success of this game, and he is taken to land the spoils in the 'Grouse Moor' Novices' Hurdle.

The 'Fly Fishing' Handicap Chase has cut up to just five runners, the pick of which promises to be Gottabe, trained by Sue Smith, and a previous winner on this course.

Mary Reveley seldom comes away from Wetherby without a winner and the Cleveland trainer has good prospects of a double tomorrow, courtesy of Northern Rambler (12.25), who is my Nap selection to finally make it to the number-one enclosure in a moderate race, and the promising Our Dream (3.40).

On the Flat at Lingfield, Gerard Butler aims to score treble success with horses bearing the Compton prefix.

He saddles Compton Eclaire (1.15), Compton Drake (1.45) and Compton Banker (2.55), a trio who were all winners last time out. All three have solid chances.
