Mantles Pride, who looked an unlucky loser at Thirsk last week, can get back in the winning groove at Beverley tomorrow.
The gelding, trained by Jeremy Glover, whose horses are running out of their skins at present, goes for division two of the Beverley Conservative Club Handicap and is napped to oblige under Kevin Darley.
The Sheriff Hutton jockey was in the saddle in Mantles Pride's latest race when their chances of victory were spoiled by a sluggish start. Poorly positioned on the home turn as a result, the six-year-old did well in the end to finish third to Unshaken.
Well worth another chance tomorrow, Mantles Pride has fine prospects of success.
Altay should not be overlooked in the Beverley Racecourse Handicap.
Richard Fahey's gelding has run well on both his starts this season, most recently at Ayr where he finished a close-up fourth.
Royston Ffrench has the mount tomorrow as Altay bids to make it third time lucky.
Barry Hills looks poised for success in the Armstrong Social Club Maiden Stakes with Model Queen.
The mount of Richard Hughes, Model Queen may be no star but she has shown enough in her two starts to date to suggest that she will take all the beating in this modest event.
Mary Jane deserves to land the Beaver Fillies' Handicap over five furlongs.
Nigel Tinkler's speedy mare failed by only a whisker to beat Sir Sandrovitch over this course and distance last week. Compensation should now be forthcoming.
At Lingfield, Common Consent is the one to be on in the Champagne Jacquart Fillies' Handicap.
Francis Norton's mount failed by just a head to beat Port Moresby over this course and distance last week, but looked an unlucky loser, having been short of room in the closing stages as she tried to launch her challenge.
Clearly in good heart, Common Consent can now step up to the number one position.
Mark Tompkins has his horses in splendid form and the Newmarket-based Yorkshireman can lift the Trackside Restaurant Selling Stakes with Lemuria.
Frankie Dettori takes the mount on Alsaleet in the opening race, the Bet Direct From Littlewoods Maiden Stakes, and should not be short of supporters.
Trained by Saeed bin Suroor, this well-bred three-year-old is fancied to make a winning debut carrying the Godolphin colours.
