WILLIAM'S WELL can clinch the 5th Regiment Royal Artillery Handicap at Catterick tomorrow for the second successive year.

This Mick Easterby-trained sprinter, successful at Nottingham earlier this season, has since suffered a string of defeats but has not run a single poor race.

A close-up fifth to Damalis at Chester two outings ago, he has since run another solid race to occupy the same position - and be beaten less than three lengths - in a hot handicap at Newcastle won by Corndavon.

At his best coming from off the pace in a strongly-run race, William's Well is fancied to shine tomorrow just as he did a year ago.

Montana Miss can provide Kevin Darley with a winning start to the day by landing the Swale Pasture Novice Median Auction Stakes.

Bryn Palling's Welsh raider fulfilled the promise of her debut effort when winning with considerable ease at Beverley three weeks ago. A tougher assignment awaits her tomorrow but she is expected to complete a double.

Jawla looks good for the Pallett Hill Median Auction Maiden Fillies' Stakes, while the Beckside Handicap provides an opportunity for Chaka Zulu to regain the winning thread under Francis Norton.

At Yarmouth, So Sober can prove the coast in the Britannia Pier Theatre Summer Season Maiden Stakes.

The juvenile, trained by Chris Wall, finished a creditable runner-up to newcomer Sing A Song at Windsor last week on soft ground. So Sober is well worth another chance on tomorrow's sounder surface.

Honest Borderer, a horse on the upgrade, looks the one to be on in the Stanley M Threadwell Memorial Handicap.

John Dunlop's five-year0old opened his seasonal account when beating Rich In Love by a length at Lingfield last month. A follow-up looks on the cards here.

Rosse (4.00), below form at Ascot last time, having previously scored impressively on this course, should not be overlooked, while recent winner Swinging The Blues (5.00) is also worthy of a second look.

Yorkshire courses stage a double-header tomorrow, with Doncaster's evening meeting following on from Catterick.

Poetry In Motion lines up for the horsesmouth.co.uk Apprentice Handicap, which opens the card, and is given the Nap vote despite less than obvious claims.

The five-year-old has failed to reach the frame in three outings this season, but she performed with real credit to finish fifth in a warm handicap at Sandown on her penultimate run. She had some decent form at this level and over this distance last season when trained by Eric Alston.

Now with Rae Guest, Poetry In Motion is capable of winning this modest prize.
