PIPADASH, at her best on soft ground, will have conditions in her favour as she returns to action in the feature race at Haydock Park tomorrow.

Trained by Tim Easterby, Pipadash goes for the £22,000 Field Marshall Stakes over five furlongs and is expected to make a bold bid.

A useful two-year-old least season, Pipadash is an out-and-out sprinter and with Kevin Darley in the saddle she can show her rivals a clean pair of heels tomorrow - on her favourite muddy ground.

The Barry Case Plant Hire John Porter Stakes, re-scheduled form last Saturday's abandoned Newbury meeting, is a bonus for Haydock.

This Group 3 event has attracted a useful field and, while Capri, from the in-form Henry Cecil stable, makes plenty of appeal the vote goes to Largesse to supplement his recent Doncaster success.

John Berry's admirable performer is particularly effective on soft ground and will be in his element here. John Egan, who knows him so well, has the mount.

The Cheadle Hume Classified Stakes, which opens the programme, offers Mantusis the opportunity to open his seasonal account.

The Peter Harris-trained gelding never quite fulfilled his promise last season but there was plenty to like about his reappearance at Nottingham when third to Forty Forte.

Likely to have benefited from that outing, he is fancied to take all the beating this time under Pat Eddery.

The Haydock Park Sponsorship Club Rated Handicap can provide a suitable opportunity for Newcastle winner Dancing Bay. This promising three-year-old hails form the in-form Julie Camacho stable, which can boast a significant five winner form ten runners this season.

At Kempton, the £21,000 Sovereign Bookmakers Easter Stakes is the joint richest race on the card and Mana-Mou Bay has solid credentials.

Trained by Richard Hannon, who produced two aces from heading for the Sagitta 2,000 Guineas - Mana-Mou Bay was recently supplemented for the Vodafone Derby.

Winner of the Washington Singer Sakes at Newbury last season, Mana-Mou Bay deserves every respect tomorrow.

In the £21,000 Sovereign Masaka Stakes, a Classic stepping-stone for fillies, Karaliyfa merits respect. From the bang-in-form Sir Michael Stoute yard and the mount of champion jockey Kieren Fallon, she finished a promising third at Newbury on her only outing last season and looks capable of vast improvement.

The Queen's Prize Showcase Handicap looks a tricky race for punters to solve, but the honours could well fall to Bangalore, who is fit from hurdling and will revel in the testing conditions.

Furthermore, this decent gelding will have the services tomorrow of Kieren Fallon, and is trained by Amanda Perratt, who had a big winner at Newmarket this week. He is awarded the nap vote.

Channel 4 television will add to their coverage at Kempton by paying a rare visit to Carlisle to cover a couple of handicap chases form the Cumbrian course.

Peter Beaumont's mud-loving Cherry Dee (3.30) and the back-to-form Arctic Sandy (4.00) are recommended to armchair punters.
