Kevin Darley, with two winners at Thirsk yesterday afternoon and another two at Newcastle last night, is remaining in the fast lane as he bids for his championship title.

And the Sheriff Hutton jockey, energetically building-up a substantial lead over Pat Eddery in the title race, can add to his score at Beverley's marathon meeting tomorrow.

With two of the original races having been divided, Beverley are staging an eight-race programme and Darley will be involved in six of the heats with bright chances of adding to his scoresheet with a bumper five-timer.

Dihatjum, trained by Tim Easterby at Great Habton near Malton, can land the Britannia Rescue Claiming Stakes for Darley after his recent second to Marton Mere on this course.

The promising Gledswood, sent all the way from Sussex by Lady Ann Herries, can also oblige for Darley in the Daily Star Racing Festival Maiden Stakes (Division One), while another of his mounts, Eastwood Drifter looks capable of defying top-weight in the Own A Racehorse For A Day in 2001 Handicap - a race barely better than selling-race standard.

The promising Bolshoi Ballet (4-30), another Sussex raider, and the progressive Touch For Gold (5-05), trained by Sir Michael Stoute, could complete a wonderful afternoon for Darley.

In the featured £10,000 John Smith's Nursery, Darley has an able mount in Forever Times, but the Tim Easterby-trained filly has got the worst of draws in this five-furlong dash, being positioned in stall number one, which is effectively a 'coffin-box'.

Preference, therefore, is for Cozzie, drawn in 11 - one away from the favoured inside rail - and the winner of a similar event over this course and distance a couple of weeks ago.

Tomorrow's principal action takes place at Goodwood, where BBC2 television will be showing the first three races live.

The smart and still unexposed Revival, back from a three-month break, looks good for the opening Going Places Handicap, while her jockey Jamie Spencer can also take the featured £40,000 ATS Euromaster Prestige Stakes aboard nap selection Summer Symphony.

Luca Cumani's filly lived up to her tall home reputation when making a winning debut at Newmarket last month in a hotly-contested maiden race.

The type to go on to much better things, Summer Symphony can follow-up tomorrow.

Everest, currently on a roll, can complete a hat-trick in the other televised race, the Britannia Rescue Showcase Handicap, while also worth watching out for are the Richard Hannon-trained pair, Hidden Meaning (4-20) and Ravine (4-50).

Settrington trainer John Quinn sends Smart Predator on the long journey to Yarmouth to contest the DFDS Seaways Handicap and this useful sprinter has strong claims.

Foiled by a poor draw last time, the four-year-old had previously run a blinder to finish third to Flak Jacket at Goodwood.

The classy Deep Space can notch an overdue success in the Great Yarmouth Mercury Conditions Stakes.

The Alan Jarvis team are to appeal against the decision of the York stewards to disqualify Jardines Lookout after the three-year-old had won the Charles Heidseick Champagne Melrose Rated Stakes at York on Thursday.

Jardines Lookout, owned jointly by Jarvis's wife Ann and Hong Kong-based businessman Ambrose Turnbull, passed the post with three-quarters of a length to spare over Riddlesdown but he was placed last and the runner-up promoted to first place.

Michael Kinane, who rode Jardines Lookout, was suspended for six days having been found guilty of irresponsible riding of a major nature.

But Abingdon trainer Jarvis said: "Ambrose is determined to appeal because basically the horse has won entirely on merit."
