Racing by Tom O'Ryan

Naviasky, who has given the impression this season that he is crying out for a step up in distance, finally gets the chance to prove his stamina at Doncaster tomorrow.

This Lynda Ramsden-trained three-year-old, who has done most of his racing at around a mile, lines up for the featured £10,000 49's Handicap over an extended mile and a quarter and has excellent prospects of landing his second success.Naviasky fulfilled earlier promise at Carlisle last month when getting up near the finish to beat Technician by threequarters of a length.

At Beverley on his latest start he was held up in the rear in a slowly run race and, in the circumstances, did well to get into the thick of the action and finish a close third to Hadith.

Willie Supple, who partnered Naviasky at Beverley, again has the mount tomorrow. Over a longer trip this likeable gelding is expected to score.

Mrs Ramsden has good prospects of completing a double with Mouche in the Beachcomber Handicap, but the preferred Nap vote here goes to Royal Result from the Mick Easterby stable.

A Newmarket winner last season over this distance of seven furlongs, Royal Result has taken time to find his form this term but at York last Friday gave notice of an imminent return to the winners' enclosure when beaten less than three lengths into seventh place by Young Precedent over a mile.

With tomorrow's trip, course and going in his favour, Royal Result has strong claims.

Frankie Dettori's trip to Moor Town should pay dividends courtesy of Cadette in the Great Leger Racing Game Gamble Maiden Stakes.

Trained by John Gosden, Cadette started odds-on to make a winning debut at Nottingham in June but had to settle for runner-up honours behind Wealthy Star. Cadette finished ten lengths in front of the third placed horse that day, which suggests good form.

Champion jockey Kieren Fallon can capture the opening honours aboard Enemy Action for his boss, Henry Cecil.

This potentially high-class filly made a bright start to her career when winning at Goodwood on her debut, needing only to be pushed out to beat Maghaarb by one and threequarter lengths.

At Leicester, Time To Tango, who just missed out at Pontefract last time, can gain compensation by winning the Burton Handicap.
