RICHARD Fahey, who completed a 39-1 double at Hamilton last night, can maintain his good form on Knavesmire tomorrow.
The Butterwick, near Malton, trainer saddles Inch Perfect in the Shepherd Rated Handicap with Robert Winston - who also had a brace of winners at Hamilton - in the saddle.
A much improved gelding since being bought out of a seller at Redcar last September, prolific winner Inch Perfect scored on this course last month over a mile and a half.
He was subsequently slightly below par when only third in the Zetland Gold Cup at Redcar but that race, over ten furlongs, was run at a dawdling gallop and Inch Perfect proved unsuited.
Stepping up to one mile and six furlongs for the first time tomorrow, Inch Perfect can prove his staying power by regaining the winning thread.
Indian Spark has excellent prospects of repeating his success of 12 months ago in the Blue Bicycle Rated Handicap.
Jim Goldie's Glasgow raider scored handsomely on his latest outing at Haydock and, with Tony Culhane again in the saddle, a follow-up looks on the cards here.
Captain's Log has a solid chance of landing the Majestic Hotel Classified Stakes.
Michael Bell's gelding fulfilled the promise of earlier efforts this season when winning at Windsor recently - by half a length from Make Way.
Well served by the conditions of tomorrow's race, Captain's Log can oblige again.
The Halifax Plc Rous Selling Stakes could fall to Time Maite.
A Newcastle winner two outing ago, Mick Easterby's charge was slightly disappointing when bidding for a quick double at Leicester a few days later. However, he is worth another chance tomorrow.
The opening race, the Anthony Fawcett Memorial Handicap, looks a tricky race to solve but Chepstow trainer Milton Bradley - a dab-hand with sprinters - could hold the key with River Tern.
A course and distance winner last season, River Tern has shaped well in his three races this term without troubling the judge.
A tricky ride, who needs to be covered-up and produced late, River Tern is napped to do the business here in the hands of Warthill apprentice Dean Mernagh, who is riding out of his skin this season.
At Sandown, the SBJ Group Showcase Handicap offers Make Way a good opportunity to get off the mark.
Pat Eddery's mount is gradually coming to hand and a close second to Captain's Log at Windsor last time highlights his chances tomorrow.
Also worth noting at Sandown are the promising Dance West (2.35), and Polar Challenge (3.05).
