MILES don't matter when a winning opportunity rears its head, as Nigel Tinkler proves tomorrow by sending Miss Equinox from Malton to Lingfield in Sussex.

There is no big-money prize at the end of it, only a minor selling race confined to juvenile fillies. But Tinkler will be pleased if Miss Equinox wins.

The youngster won a similar race last time out, at Newcastle, and consequently now has a 5lb penalty to carry.

But with the opposition tomorrow not amounting to much and with top jockey Richard Quinn a significant booking, Miss Equinox is my Nap choice.

Quinn, who is chasing Kevin Darley and Pat Eddery in the jockeys' championship, can also win the Prime Time Offers Personnel Fillies' Handicap on Taffeta.

One of the lesser lights of John Dunlop's powerful Arundel stable, Taffeta has, however, shown enough in her four starts to suggest a bold bid here.

Senior Minister makes plenty of appeal in the Prime Time Recruitment Sales Maiden Stakes after his recent second-placed effort on his debut.

Gulf Shaadi has plenty going for him in the Prime Time Recruitment Classified Stakes.

The featured £10,000 Tote Bookmakers Handicap could well provide Doctor Dennis with a deserved return to the winner's enclosure.

Brian Meehan's sprinter has finished second on both his starts since his last victory and was denied by only a neck by Ravine at Windsor last time.

Patrick Haslam, like Nigel Tinkler, is another North Yorkshire trainer sending a horse on a long journey tomorrow in search of success.

The Middleton handler will be represented at Salisbury by Lion Domane in the Hands and Heels Apprentice Handicap.

The three-year-old won a similar race by a wide margin at Thirsk last week and should not be inconvenienced unduly by the 6lb penalty he carries here.

Glenn Sparkes, who was in the saddle at Thirsk, has the mount again and is likely to adopt the same catch-me-if-you-can tactics.

Exile can defy top weight in the H S Lester Memorial Challenge Cup Handicap.

Trained by Richard Phillips, whose horses seem to be in great heart, Exile can complete a double for up and coming apprentice Sparkes.

Hatheethah should not be underestimated in the Morriston Maiden Fillies' Stakes.

Although yet to trouble the judge in three outings, Luca Cumani's three-year-old has shown definite signs of ability.

It would come as no surprise to see her come out on top tomorrow under Jamie Spencer.
