JACK Dawson, narrowly beaten on his latest start, can go one better at Chester tomorrow.
The three-year-old bids for the £10,000 Tote Quick Pick Showcase Handicap and carries the nap to get his head in front.
Trained at Newmarket by John Berry, Jack Dawson failed by just a length to get the better of Lord Alaska, the evens favourite, at Warwick nine days ago.
The merit of that performance was enhanced by the fact that Jack Dawson finished no less than five lengths clear of the rest of the field.
Tough and consistent, Jack Dawson is in his element over two miles on easy ground.
Conditions should be perfect for him tomorrow and he will receive every assistance from jockey Francis Norton.
Lady Boxer, who provided Tarporley trainer Micheal Mullineaux with his biggest-ever success when winning last Saturday's Ladbroke Silver Cup at Ayr priced at 33-1, turns out again in the Pestarazzi Restaurant Comes To Manchester Classified Stakes.
Lady Boxer will not start at 33-1 this time as she lines up for the renewal of a race which she won 12 months ago. But with Allan Mackay again in the saddle, it would come as no surprise to see her complete an encore.
Young-Un, who ran well to finish third to Lord Eurolink at York recently, can step up on that performance in the Chester FM Listeners Handicap.
Mick Ryan's charge appreciates some give in the ground and will have conditions to suit with Jason Weaver in the saddle.
Polly Golightly should not be overlooked in the five-furlong telme.com Handicap.
Dale Gibson's mount, at her best on softish ground, is already a winner over this course and distance this season.
The promising Clearing (2-20) and Overspect (4-20), winner of two of his three starts, can complete a double for jockey Jimmy Fortune.
At Goodwood, Polar Lady deserves attention in the Kerry Foodservice Handicap over five furlongs.
David Morris's three-year-old finished second to Mr Stylish at Beverley last week and did extremely well considering she lost quite a lot of ground at the start.
Robert Winston, in the saddle that day, makes the long journey from Malton to ride Polar Lady again tomorrow. His trip to Sussex should not be in vain.
Right Wing can land the featured £25,000 Caffrey's Premium Ale Foundation Stakes for local trainer John Dunlop.
Something of a character, Right Wing is also extremely talented, as he showed when winning a useful race at York two outings ago, coming from last to first in the final three furlongs.
Things didn't go quite so well for him in a small field here last time, but dismissing him on the strength of that display could prove costly tomorrow.
