Seeking Answers can provide the right solution at Haydock tomorrow, where he is set to be teamed up for the first time with champion jockey Kieren Fallon.

The Alec Stewart-trained two-year-old was apprentice-ridden when he caught the eye on his debut at Pontefract last month.

Although a little green and nervous beforehand, he shaped with distinct promise in the race, staying on really well in the closing stages to finish third at 25-1 to the odds-on New Mexican.

The benefit of that outing should have helped Seeking Answers considerably, and the booking of Fallon for tomorrow's Haydock Park Annual Badgeholders Club Maiden Auction Stakes looks significant.

Alas, he will not start at 25-1 this time.

Calligraphy should prove a tough nut to crack in the Bill Hooker Superbooker Handicap over a mile.

William Haggas' filly got off the mark at Yarmouth last month when justifying odds-on favouritism in maiden company.

She has more on her plate tomorrow, but this lightly-raced filly is open to further improvement, and she looks fairly treated at the weights.

In the Alan Jones Superbooker Maiden Stakes, Misaayef is fancied to find opportunity knocking.

Sir Michael Stoute's filly is lightly-raced, but she has shown ability on both her outings so far and looks capable of winning a race of this nature. Richard Hills takes the mount.

Pavement Gates has only three rivals in the opening Les Higginson Superbooker Handicap and Mark Brisbourne's consistent three-year-old is fancied to gain an overdue success.

Tim Easterby's Mellino has proved an exasperating horse to follow this season, but the gelding deserves one more chance in the claiming race.

At Brighton, Sualda can make the long journey from Richard Fahey's Malton stable pay off by winning the featured £20,000 Saffie Joseph & Sons Brighton Challenge Cup Handicap.

Although slightly disappointing last week at Beverley, Sualda had previously scored in fine style at Doncaster, when coming late to pip Distant Cousin.

The fact that Fahey is sending him so far from home in search of this prize is a pointer in his favour.

Fahey can also score with Marshallspark (4-20), who is napped to prevail in the Lady Riders' Series Classified Stakes over seven furlongs.

The four-year-old shaped well at Redcar recently after a break.

Firework can create some excitement with another victory in the Tote Exacta Brighton Dash.

John Akehurst's speedy five-year-old showed plenty of guts to make virtually all the running at Lingfield last time. He can follow-up.
