Racing from Tom O'Ryan

Kieren Fallon, who was in blistering form at Ripon yesterday when riding a 104-1 four-timer, which included our 3-1 nap selection First Maite, can do this column another good turn at Beverley tomorrow.

The champion jockey teams-up with Angelina in the Handicappers' Nightmare Fillies' Handicap, and this progressive three-year-old is fancied to open her winning account.

On her latest outing on this course, Angelina came from a long way off the pace to finish third to Nunthorpe, and was staying on stoutly all the way to the line.

That race was over an extended mile, and tomorrow's step up to a mile and a quarter should be tailor-made for Angelina. The Alex Johnson-trained filly is taken to turn the tables on Pixielated, who finished one place in front of her last time, and provide the currently invincible Fallon with yet another winner.

Walter Swinburn, seen to such effect on leading Derby hope Greek Dance at York last week, returns north with good prospects of adding to his scoresheet.

The three-times Derby-winning jockey has been booked by Bryan McMahon to partner Out Of Sight in the David Swannel Memorial Rated Handicap, and this smart four-year-old has a chance second to none.

Out Of Sight has run good races on both his outings this season. A creditable fourth to Therhea at Sandown on his reappearance, he has since finished a very respectable sixth of 19 runners in the Jubilee Handicap at Kempton, won by Tertium.

Out Of Sight can make it third-time-lucky here.

Swinburn also boasts an excellent chance aboard Palais for Michael Stoute, his principal supporting trainer, in the National Riding Week Maiden Stakes.

Unraced last year as a juvenile, Palais finished fourth at Carlisle on his debut and fifth last time out at Nottingham to Bryony Brind, when he looked to be lacking the finishing speed of his rivals. Tomorrow's step up to a mile and a quarter should suit him better.

The H&P Freightways Handicap will not take a great deal of winning and the vote is awarded to Regal Patriarch, a brother of Silver Patriarch, last year's St Leger winner and Derby runner-up.

Trained in Sussex by John Dunlop, Regal Patriarch finished last of seven runners on his reappearance at Nottingham last month, but he raced too freely that day in soft ground over a trip too short for him.

Tomorrow, he should be much better served by the faster going and the step up to a mile and a half. Provided he does not burn himself out with his headstrong tendencies, he should take all the beating. Gary Carter again has the mount.

Tomorrow's televised action (three races on BBC 1) comes from Goodwood where the feature race is the £40,000 Tote Predominate Stakes, in which Mutamam is strongly fancied to take the honours and put himself firmly in the Derby picture.

Alex Stewart's colt won two of his three juvenile starts before finishing third in the Racing Post Trophy at Doncaster. He is reported to have been working exceptionally well on the gallops in readiness for this seasonal reappearance.
