ITSANOTHERGIRL should not be opposed at Beverley tomorrow - so long as it keeps raining!

Mick Easterby's five-year-old is a confirmed mudlark, as she showed at Haydock last month when landing a sizeable gamble.

Itsanothergirl was backed from 20-1 down to 5-1 before beating Absinther by one-and-a-quarter lengths.

The ground then was heavy and, with rain falling heavily today, conditions promise to turn in favour of Itsanothergirl.

The Sheriff Hutton mare lines up for the PricewaterhouseCoopers Northern Bloodstock Unit Handicap and should not be opposed lightly if conditions are in her favour.

Red River Rebel should go well as he aims for a hat-trick in the Tote Bookmakers Handicap over a mile-and-a-half.

John Norton's gelding has really come into his own since being stepped up to this sort of distance and has scored at Newcastle on his last two outings.

Paul Fessey, who gets on so well with him, has the mount again.

Robert Winston can take the Herib Selling Nursery on Forzacurity, trained at Lambourn by Ralph Beckett.

A respectable second to Christmas Truce in a claiming race at Haydock last time, Forzacurity is fancied to go one better here.

The progressive Beady, trained by Bryan Smart, commands respect in the Westwood Maiden Auction Stakes (Div II), while Thirsk trainer David Barron's booking of top jockey Jamie Spencer for Marcus Aurelius looks significant in the goracing.co.uk Maiden Stakes.

At Goodwood, Blue Mountain is awarded the nap vote in the Komfort Office Environment Rated Handicap.

Fulke Johnston Houghton's charge has proved hard to place this season after hitting the heights last year, but he confirmed his well-being when chasing home Duck Row at Bath two outings ago.

His latest effort, when finishing seventh to Granny's Pet over this course and distance can be forgiven, as he failed to find a clear run in a race that was run at a muddling pace and produced a blanket finish.

With John Reid in the saddle, Blue Mountain is fancied to peak here.

The £18,500 Stardom Stakes takes pride of place on the Goodwood card and Kriskova largely fits the bill as the most likely winner.

The two-year-old, a winner on his debut at Sandown in July, significantly represents David Loder in stead of three other entries in this prestigious race. Jimmy Fortune has the mount on this well regarded youngster.

Also worth looking out for are the in-form Bethesda (2-45) and the promising Simeon (4-25), who makes the journey to Sussex from Mark Johnston's Middleham yard.
