Matty Tun, successful at York earlier this month, can hit the jackpot at Musselburgh tomorrow.

The York owned and John Balding-trained four-year-old tackles the £50,000 Scottish Sprint Cup - sponsored by easibet.net - and has every chance of winning.

A much-improved performer, Matty Tun prevailed in a tough handicap on Knavesmire and would have won more comfortably but for hanging to his right inside the final furlong when his noseband slipped.

Among his beaten rivals, significantly, was Bali Royal, winner of this race last year.

Matty Tun, owned by Stonebow Snooker Club owner Tom Tunstall and his nephew Tom, is still on the the upgrade and should make a bold bid tomorrow.

Horses which fail to make the cut in the big sprint run in the £15,000 easibet.net Sprint Handicap, and Beyond The Clouds, trained by John Wainwright, has a cracking chance in this consolation event.

Robert Winston's mount looks to be running into form and five furlongs on fast ground is tailor-made for him.

Tough Love is my Nap selection to win the Keyline Builders Merchants' Classified Stakes.

Tim Easterby's useful handicapper, a winner at Pontefract on his seasonal debut, has twice run well in defeat since, at Thirsk and Beverley. Kevin Darley should steer Tough Love back to the number one place tomorrow.

At Catterick, Give Him Credit could live up to his name by lifting the Entertain In Style At Catterick Racecourse Handicap.

Ann Duffield's gelding was a winner over this course and distance on his seasonal bow and has since run well to finish fourth at Haydock over an inadequate six furlongs. Tyrone Williams has the mount tomorrow.

Shebeen should take all the beating in the Catterick Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

Unlucky not to get her head in front as a juvenile, Henry Candy's speedy charge chased home Hey Presto in a handicap at Salisbury on her reappearance. She should be capable of winning this modest event.

Efidium has been in the form of his life lately, winning three of his last four starts.

Another triumph could be forthcoming for Neville Bycroft's gelding in the goracing.co.uk Classified Stakes, with Suzanne France, who has ridden to all his recent wins, again in the saddle.

Settrington trainer John Quinn has good prospects of making his presence felt at Newmarket with Coracle King in the £40,000 Coral Sprint Handicap.

A Thirsk winner last time over this distance of six furlongs, Coracle King will have the services of experienced apprentice Adrian McCarthy in his big-race assault.

Monsieur Bond, a creditable sixth to Refuse To Bend in the Sagitta 2,000 Guineas, has obvious claims in the Cheveley Park Stud King Charles II Stakes, but may it tough against less-exposed rivals.

Tuning Fork, who only just failed to hold Derby hope Magistretti in the Tote Dante Stakes on Knavesmire earlier this month, is fancied to go one better in the Haven and British Holidays Fairway Stakes.
