John Quinn, who has made a fine start to the Flat turf season, can add to his winning score at Redcar's opening meeting tomorrow.

The Settrington trainer saddles Premium Princess in the Manny Bernstein Bookmakers Fillies' Handicap and, with Kevin Darley on board, the six-year-old is fancied to lift the honours.

Premium Princess struck a rich vein of form last summer and seemed to respond particularly well to Darley's handling. Sure to be all the better for her unplaced comeback outing at Musselburgh, she can promote herself to the top of the tree tomorrow.

Darley can also win the median auction maiden stakes on Eddys Lad, who showed plenty of promise when placed in both his outings last year.

John Carroll can celebrate the news that he is to partner Rumpold for Godolphin in Saturday's Sagitta 2,000 Guineas at Newmarket with a winner of a rather less salubrious contest.

The northern jockey teams-up with his old pal Persian Fayre in the seven-furlongs seller and a pillar-to-post victory is anticipated.

Not only has Persian Fayre scored over this course and distance in the past, but his trainer Alan Berry has his horses in sparkling form.

Ringside Jack should now be ready to produce a knockout punch after two outings this season and Chris Fairhurst's gelding should not be underestimated in the Manny Bernstein Handicap over one mile and three furlongs.

At Brighton, the Zurich London Handicap over a mile and a half looks an ideal opportunity for recent winner Needwood Mystic to score again.

Amanda Perratt's charge gained an impressive 11 length triumph over this course and distance in a ladies' race three weeks ago and has been raised only 7lb by the handicapper.

Pat Eddery takes over tomorrow and, although he is unlikely to start at fancy odds, Needwood Mystic looks solid Nap material.
