BANK on a couple of real Charlies tomorrow, when Charlie Cool and Charlie Tokyo are fancied to add their names to the Kempton scoreboard.

The latter is trained at Malton by Richard Fahey, who has made a flying start to the season.

Charlie Tokyo, formerly trained by Luca Cumani, enjoyed a decent campaign for Fahey last year and is the type to make futher progress this season, much like Halla San, a runaway winner for the Musley Bank yard at Catterick on Wednesday.

Boston Spa-based Dale Gibson takes the mount on Charlie Tokyo, who is not making the long journey to London's Sunbury course for the good of his health. Expect a bold showing from the Malton raider in the £40,000 Intercasino.co.uk Rosebery Handicap, the richest race on the Kempton card.

Charlie Cool, a winner at York as a juvenile, and a colt who has spent the winter in Dubai, has strong claims in the £26,000 Intercasino.co.uk Magnolia Stakes.

Trained by William Haggas, who sent out Very Wise to win last Saturday's Lincoln Handicap at Newcastle, Charlie Cool developed into a high-class handicapper last season, winning a competitive race at Haydock and finishing a creditable eighth in the Cambridegeshire Handicap.

A winner in Dubai this winter, he should not be inconvenienced by tomorrow's return to a Polytrack surface as he finished a close-up third on his all-weather debut in the Listed Churchill Stakes at Lingfield last November.

Despite the presence of some tough opposition, which includes Sri Diamond and Mark Johnston's highly-rated Nakheel, Charlie Cool is napped to emerge with flying colours.

Johnston, however, can stake a claim at Kempton, with Zaham in the Intercasino.co.uk Handicap.

The Middleham trainer placed Zaham to win a Lingfield claimer on just his second outing last month and there looks to be more to come from this progressive three-year-old in handicap company.

Ebn Reem proved a consistent juvenile last season for Michael Jarvis and is fancied to make a winning start to the new campaign in the Play Blackjack At Intercasino.co.uk Handicap. Neil Callan has the mount.

Any racing fans in this corner of the county, hoping to enjoy seeing some live action over the Easter Bank Holiday, will be sorely disappointed. There is no racing in North Yorkshire - or indeed anywhere in Yorkshire - either tomorrow, or on Monday.

To witness the best of tomorrow's jumping action will require a trip to neighbouring Lancashire where Haydock hosts a decent card, highlighted by the Red Square Vodka Fixed Brush' Novices' Handicap Hurdle Final.

Tom Tate, based at Hazlewood near Tadcaster, could hold the key to this £20,000 event, courtesy of Ellerslie George.

Having shown promise in bumpers last season, Ellerslie George has made significant strides as a hurdler since, winning at Newcastle in November when beating the useful Key Time.

Although beaten in two subsequent outings, Ellerslie George may have been unsuited by the heavy ground on those occasions. Tomorrow's sounder surface should be more to his liking.

Also worth noting at Haydock are Chickapeakray (2.30), who goes well on this course, and his stablemate Mohayer (3.00), who has been nothing if not consistent for his local trainer, Donald McCain.

At Carlisle, Noir Et Vert, a good winner at Kelso earlier in the week, is set to turn out again in the totesport.com Novices' Chase. Ferdy Murphy's smart gelding, who goes particuarly well on drying ground, will be hard to beat.
