Richard Fahey, who was on the mark in the final race at Musselburgh yesterday with Flash Of Memory, can repeat the winning dose with Besieged at Catterick tomorrow.

The four-year-old goes for the Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race and, sure to be wiser for his recent debut at Ayr, he promises to take all the beating.

Besieged finished fifth in Scotland last month to Byron Lamb in an especially hot race and was third-best until weakening in the closing stages.

He ran a little bit too freely early on that day, which some horses tend to do on their first racecourse appearance, but the experience he gained should now stand him in excellent stead.

Paudge Whelan, successful on stablemate Flash Of Memory yesterday, takes the mount on Nap selection Besieged and can produce a similar outcome.

Little Docker is expected to prove hard to beat in the Ampleforth Novices' Hurdle.

Tim Easterby's gelding has finished in the frame on both his starts this season and was beaten only a length into second-place on his latest outing at Wetherby by Benbyas, who has since won a competetive handicap at Cheltenham.

Tomorrow's step up to two miles and three furlongs should suit Little Docker, who can prevail under Russ Garritty.

Easterby and Garritty have good prospects of a double with Stone Cold in the Christmas Time Handicap Hurdle.

The four-year-old turned in a decent performance on his latest start when he was beaten less than two lengths into second by Lady Of The Lamp.

Tomorrow's distance of almost three and a quarter miles will take plenty of getting, but stamina seems to be Stone Cold's forte and he can gallop his rivals into submission.

Gino Carrenza has booted home a couple of winners since joining Mick Easterby's Sheriff Hutton yard as stable amateur within the last month.

The tall youngster has another chance to shine on Alistair Whillans' Barresbo in the Amateur Riders' Hands And Heels Handicap Hurdle.

In the money on all his three starts this season, Barresbo is clearly capable of winning a race of this nature.

The Charles Vickery Memorial Cup Handicap Chase offers Red Emperor the chance to gain his second success of the season.

Norman Mason's seven-year-old has been in excellent form of late and can capitalise on bottom weight in this long distance affair. Kenny Johnson takes the mount.

Mary Reveley has her horses in excellent form and the Saltburn trainer, successful at Musselburgh yesterday with Chaos Theory, can follow-up with Lurpak Legend in the Catterick Club 2002 Handicap Chase.

A recent winner on this track, Alan Dempsey's mount can take advantage of his light weight by producing an encore.

At Ludlow, Breaking Breeze, placed on both his outings this term, can make it third time lucky for trainer Jeff King by winning the TGK Construction Handicap Hurdle.

Also worth noting are the promising Moon Spinner (1.40) and Sigma Run (2.10), a previous course and distance winner.Catterick
