BEGGARS BANQUET, who was successful at Sedgefield a fortnight ago, can complete an encore tomorrow.

Trained at Middleham by Steve Kettlewell, the ten-year-old goes for the Scotmail Handicap Hurdle and is fancied to come out on top.

Beggars Banquet was recording his first win for almost four years when beating Sandabar by eight lengths on his latest start.

Now that he has got his head in front, Beggars Banquet is napped to oblige again.

Malton trainer Brian Rothwell can also figure on the scoreboard, courtesy of Last Try in the Chilton Club Handicap Chase over two miles.

Adie Smith's mount is pretty consistent at this level and is a previous winner over this course and distance.

Bengal Boy should not be overlooked in the Alphameric Intermediate Open National Hunt Flat Race.

Trained by Peter Beaumont, Bengal Boy was recruited in Ireland and is owned by Trevor Hemmings, who has any number of high-class jumpers in training in Britain, not least Young Kenny, also trained by Beaumont, whom he purchased this summer.

Penrith trainer Jonjo O'Neil, whol can do little wrong at present, can clinch the Alphameric Red Onion Novices' Chase with Native Man.

Although a beaten favourite at Market Rasen on his latest start, Native Man lost no marks in defeat against Grimaldi Lad and is worth another chance.

The consistent Whatashot looks the answer to the Sanyo Televisions For Bookmakers Selling Handicap Hurdle, confined to conditional jockeys.

Up at Ayr, Raise A Prince has solid claims in the featured £10,000 Tote Quick Pick Handicap.

Sean Woods' charge finished a good second to Helen's Day in a competitive handicap over this course and distance last month.

On his favourite soft ground tomorrow, Raise A Prince can go one better.

Robert Winston, who took York by storm at the weekend when riding doubles on Friday and Saturday, can carry on his purple patch aboard Lady-Love in the Murray Johnstone and Private Equity Sprint Handicap.

Denys Smith's filly showed a return to winning form was imminent when beaten only three-quarters of a length by Eastern Prophets at Newcastle recently.

The Murray Johnstone Nursery Handicap looks best left to Barathiki, a long-distance traveller from Paul Cole's Berkshire yard.

The consistent two-year-old will be partnered by Malton apprentice Paul Hanagan.
