Master Robbie, who continued his splendid season at York last week, turns out again at Newmarket tomorrow to bid for his eighth win of the campaign.

The Mick Channon-trained gelding goes for the Tote/Racing Post Ten To Follow Showcase Handicap over seven furlongs with the in-form Sam Hitchcott in the saddle.

Hitchcott has ridden Master Robbie to five of his success this season, most recently on Knavesmire where the four-year-old underlined his battling qualities to win in a driving finish.

Master Robbie has a 6lb penalty to carry tomorrow, but this ultra-tough performer is expected to make a bold show as he aims to extend his winning run.

The Group 3 Bentinck Stakes over six furlongs offers Channon another excellent chance, courtesy of Royal Millennium.

The five-year-old has been running remarkably well, finishing a close-up fifth in the Ayr Gold Cup, when he was done no favours by the draw.

He was similarly inconvenienced at Ascot next time and he has since finished second in a Group 1 race in France.

Long overdue a winning turn. Royal Millennium is napped to gain his just deserts tomorrow.

The Heathavon Stud Houghton Conditions Stakes has cut up to only four runners and Art Trader could be the pick of the quartet.

Seb Sanders-mount scored on this course on his debut two weeks ago, and made a strong impression into the bargain.

Art Trader looks a horse with a bright future and he can reinforce his potential by scoring again tomorrow.

Frankie Dettori is making a determined bid to chalk-up 100 winners for the season can score on the promising Jimmy Ryan in the Wicken Nursery and also on the well-regarded Seeking A Way in the Newmarket Challenge Cup.

Calcutta, seen to good effect at York last week when he scored a notable victory only 24 hours after finishing a close-up third on the same Knavesmire course, should not be overlooked in the Jim White 'Lifetime In Racing' Handicap.

A bumper card at Redcar concentrates more on quantity than quality, and Kevin Darley has winning chances on Atlantic City (1.30), Bread Of Heaven (3.10), Triplemoon (3.45) and Boavista (5.25).
