Parkview Love can provide Mark Johnston with a major triumph at Newmarket tomorrow.
The classy colt, winner of his two of his three outings this season, is fancied to hit the big time in the £70,000 TNT July Stakes.
The mount of Sheriff Hutton-based Kevin Darley, Parkview Love gained his latest success in the Woodcote Stakes at Epsom on Derby Day.
Sent off at 11-2, the Middleham colt showed his mettle by making all the running and staying on grimly to win by a neck from Cedarberg, with the favourite Cop Hill Lad only fifth.
Still learning and improving, Parkview Love looks capable of even greater achievements and tomorrow he gets the chance to prove himself in Group 2 company.
Day Fort bids for a hat-trick of wins in the Bonusprint Handicap over ten furlongs.
Marcus Tregoning's progressive three-year-old followed-up his Bath success with a fluent handicap win at Sandown and remains a horse to follow. Frankie Dettori takes over in the saddle tomorrow.
Macadamia, who did this column a good turn when winning the Royal Hunt Cup at Royal Ascot last month, steps-up to Group 2 company in the Stan James Falmouth Stakes.
Successful at Pontefract prior to her famous Ascot triumph, James Fanshawe's charge is in rude health at present and looks sure to make a bold bid for her hat-trick.
John Weymes, who trains at Middleham, is finding winners hard to come by at present, but there is every reason to believe that my Nap selection Brigadore could turn the tide for him in the NGK Spark Plugs Rated Handicap.
Beaten less than a length into fourth place by the in-form Sir Sandrovitch at Thirsk a couple of weeks ago, Brigadore would not need to improve much on that form to be involved in the finish again. Gary Hind takes the mount.
Kieren Fallon can get Newmarket punters off to a good start aboard Strength 'N Honour in the Bahrain Trophy.
Far from disgraced behind High Accolade in the King Edward V11 Stakes at Royal Ascot last month, Charles Cyzer's colt could benefit from this extra three furlongs.
At Catterick, the Turmeric Handicap, named in honour of the former course specialist, takes pride of place. Celtic Style, from the Mark Johnston yard, looks the one to be on in this two-miler.
Also worth noting at Catterick, are the consistent Chairman Bobby (3.00) and the promising Smart Minister (4.10).
