Winsome George, who gave notice of a return to form at Beverley last Sunday, can fulfil that promise at Thirsk's final meeting of the season tomorrow.

The four-year-old, trained at Middleham by Chris Fairhurst, bids for the featured £10,000 Tote Hambleton Cup and is fancied to take the honours in the hands of Neil Kennedy.

Winsome George belied his 20-1 odds at Beverley by finishing fourth, just over two lengths the winner Macca Luna, who scored again at Musselburgh yesterday.

Tomorrow's contest represents a step us in class, but Winsome George appeals as tempting value-for-money proposition.

Record Time is confidently selected to lift the Irwin Mitchell Maiden Stakes.

Eric Alston's charge was giving away 20lb to the winner Calandrella when beaten only half a length in a similar race to this at Musselburgh recently.

Although Record time is proving hard to win with, her overall form gives her an outstanding chance of breaking her duck in this modest event. Willie Supple has the mount on tomorrow's Nap selection.

The Calverts Carpets Fillies' Handicap looks a good opportunity for Minetta to follow-up her recent Windsor success. Hailing from the in-form Michael Bell stable, the four-year-old will be partnered by Michael Fenton.

The Group 1 Stanley Leisure Sprint Cup takes pride of place at Haydock where the fast ground will be ideal for Arkadian Hero to hit the jackpot.

Luca Cumani's high-class four-year-old has won his last two races at Newmarket and Newbury, in impressive style and although he faces a stiffer task here, he is confidently expected to complete a hat-trick.

Out Of Sight has good prospects of opening his seasonal account in the Stanley Racing Handicap.

Bryan McMahon's five-year-old has had only three outing this term, but shaped well to finish a close-up fifth of 19 to Gralmano at Pontefract on his latest start. That was over six furlongs and his style of running strongly suggested that tomorrow's extra furlong would suit him even better.

The in-form Algunnaas, on the mark at York last month, can carry on the good work in the Stanley Casinos Rated Handicap, while Blue Golf (2.30) is fancied to fulfil the promise of his recent impressive Sandown success in the Stanley Racing Conditions Stakes.

At Epsom, the Victor Chandler Voluntary Levy Handicap over five furlongs looks a suitable opportunity for Brecongill Lad to chalk-up a four-timer.

Renowned as a 'professional loser' before joining David Nicholls' yard this summer, the seven-year-old has since proved a revelation, with a hat-trick of successes. He can score again here.

Blueprint, far from disgraced when denied a four-timer in last month's Geoffrey Freer Stakes at Newbury, promises to take all the beating in the Victor Chandler September Stakes. His trainer and jockey, Sir Michael Stoute and Kieren Fallon, can also lift the Victor Chandler Skytext Page 286 Handicap with Keralia.
