Newmarket: David Milnes
Gulliver (3.50 Kempton, nap)
Fancied to register a hat-trick of all-weather wins after his narrow success at Lingfield last Thursday. Hugo Palmer’s gelding is better out of the gate these days which will stand him in good stead around here and he can defy a 6lb penalty.
9/4 Gulliver 3:50 Kempton (AW) Others to follow Kempton 1.20 Labrega, 1.50 Beyond Recall, 2.20 Express Lady, 2.50 Connecticut, 3.20 Seniority, 4.20 Glenn Coco
Lambourn: James Burn
Octagon (2.30 Southwell, nap)
Harry Whittington has his mojo back after a difficult campaign last term and this gelding retains potential for the trainer who can ready one first time out.
Evs Octagon 2:30 Southwell Others to follow Kempton 2.20 Considered Opinion, 2.50 Crimson Rock, 3.20 Ply Plumpton 1.40 King's Vice, 2.10 Naranja, 3.10 Fixed Rate
West Country: Tim Mitchell
Quiz Master (4.10 Plumpton, nap)
Has been found a winnable opportunity on his handicap debut with the up-and-coming James Bowen in the saddle.
7/2 Quiz Master 4:10 Plumpton Others to follow Plumpton 1.40 Dreams Of Juniper 2.10 Tequila Secret 2.40 Double Accord 3.10 Chef D'Equipe Southwell 1.30 Goosen Maverick 2.00 Chirico Vallis.
North: Richard Young
Portledge (4.20 Kempton, nap)
Improved effort with blinkers left off to get off the mark over this trip at Newcastle last time. Should be fully effective on Polytrack and fancied to follow up from a decent draw from a 4lb higher mark.
6/1 Portledge 4:20 Kempton (AW) Others to follow Kempton 2.50 Titi Makfi, 3.20 Desert Ruler, 3.50 Fast Track Southwell 1.00 Inchcolm, 1.30 Brown Trix, 2.00 Manwell, 2.30 Trendsetter, 3.00 Master Of Finance.
Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason
French Seventyfive (1.00 Southwell, nap)
Officially 4lb wrong at the weights but is well treated on the best of his form and showed enough when fifth in a big field at Kelso to suggest he might pop up at a fair price in a modest handicap.
9/1 French Seventyfive 1:00 Southwell
Topspeed: Dave Edwards
Glenn Coco (4.20 Kempton)
Broke his duck at Wolverhampton in September and Stuart Williams' three-year-old can follow up off a 4lb higher mark.
10/3 Glenn Coco 4:20 Kempton (AW)
Longshot: Ed Quigley
Rothman (3.10 Plumpton)
Blows hot and cold but trip and ground should suit and he is capable of getting involved off 110 with cheekpieces applied.
10/1 Rothman 3:10 Plumpton

BANKER
Ply (3.20 Kempton)
He can't lose, can he? Roger Charlton's son of Dubawi has improved hand over fist since being gelded over the summer and his last two victories at Kempton have been super impressive. Breaking the course record despite being eased down to win a Class 4 handicap in September, Ply came back and showed his fantastic turn of foot once more when winning a qualifier for this series final last month. He won by three lengths on that occasion but it could have been six or seven. He's been put up 11lb in the weights for that, but he's the best horse in the race and should win.
11/8 Ply 3:20 Kempton (AW) DARK HORSE
Hardtorock (3.40 Plumpton)
Likely to go off a decent price, Hardtorock gets in off a really low weight and has the assistance of 5lb claimer Michael Heard in this 2m4f handicap chase. The eight-year-old beat Orchestrated three starts back at Fontwell off 6lb lower and after a poor run when not staying the trip at Worcester, he finished two-lengths third behind that rival despite finding himself in serious trouble early on. The drop in trip is a slight negative, but the uphill finish will suit and Heard can hopefully galvanise him home.

Take note when Tom George and Adrian Heskin team up at Southwell as the pair are operating at a 40 per cent strike-rate at the venue. Doctor Dex represents them in the 4.00 and can enhance the trainer’s 33 per cent strike-rate with bumper debutants at the course.
It pays to follow Gary Moore at this time of year – during the last five seasons the trainer has shown a healthy profit in the two-week period either side of today. The in-form yard can enhance their impressive Plumpton record with Roll Of The Dice (1.40) and Searching (3.10).
Intransigent is interesting in the 3.50 at Kempton now he’s 1lb lower than for his last success. The eight-year-old is 3-11 at the course and his best efforts this year have come on the all-weather.

David Evans has been fined a total of £3,140 following a disciplinary panel hearing related to the trainer betting on one of his own horses.
Evans was found to have engaged in "conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and/or good reputation of horseracing in Great Britain" after he placed a large bet on Black Dave to win at Wolverhampton in January 2015, prior to the withdrawal of his stablemate Tango Sky.
T he maximum penalty for the offence is a three-year disqualification, but the trainer was fined £3,000, with this being his first offence, and a further £140 for not immediately declaring a non-runner.
The disciplinary panel heard that Evans was intent upon "nicking a bit of extra value" when placing a bet with Ladbrokes on one of his two declared runners without disclosing that he was about to pull out the other horse, which was then the market leader.
However, he did, immediately after making the bet, tell Ladbrokes that he was going to withdraw Tango Sky, and their trader was content to confirm his bet.
The panel heard that while there is "no indication that other gamblers, unaware of the impending withdrawal of Tango Sky on a vet's certificate, actually incurred any loss from the existence of a market priced on that basis that Tango Sky would run, the sport has a fundamental interest in honest and accurate betting markets and Evans' failure to notify a withdrawal promptly was a base cause of a false position existing for an hour or so on the morning of the race".
Black Dave, who was sent off a 6-4 favourite, was beaten into fourth place.

Michael Blake has a 20 per cent strike-rate at Kempton and that increases to 44 per cent when he combines with Richard Kingscote. They team up with course winner Pick A Little (4.45).

Exeter
The last two winners of the Haldon Gold Cup, Sir Valentino and Vibrato Valtat, return for another try, but they may have to settle for minor honours behind FOREST BIHAN (2.00).
He produced some smart efforts in novice chases last season and took his form to a new level when reappearing at Kelso last month, defying top-weight in a decent handicap with a bit in hand. His fitness could give him the edge with five of his rivals returning from holidays.
It’s hard to make a case for plenty of the 19 runners in the finale, but NORSE LIGHT (4.10) has a solid chance.
The David Dennis-trained six-year-old has built up a lengthy losing streak, but he looked primed to strike here last time out when he stayed on for second but couldn’t match the clear winner Cave Top. That was over 2m1f and this slightly longer trip can help him eke out the necessary improvement.
JUST A STING (1.00) won both of his bumpers last season and can make a successful start to his hurdles career in the opener.
He showed a good attitude to complete a double here in March, getting the better of subsequent winner Canford Chimes with a big gap back to the rest.
Redcar
The veteran SILVERY MOON (1.50) rolled back the years to win at Pontefract last time out and can add another success in the 1m2f handicap.
Tim Easterby’s ten-year-old found the going a bit too quick at Redcar and York previously, but he enjoyed soft ground last time out and pulled a length and a quarter clear on the run-in.
A 3lb higher mark won’t stop him if he can reproduce that display in similar conditions.
Wolverhampton
The Antony Brittain-trained GREY DESTINY (2.10) regularly misses the break, but that hasn’t stopped him going close in two of his last three starts.
Most recently, he powered home over this course and distance two weeks ago
but couldn’t quite match the in-form favourite Sentinel.
There is nothing with that rival’s potential in opposition here and a repeat performance should be good enough to see him come home on top.
Kempton
THANKYOU VERY MUCH (7.45) has spent the last 18 months jumping, but she showed that she was still capable of getting involved on the Flat at Newcastle last month.
Stepping up to 2m for the first time in this sphere, James Bethell’s mare fought valiantly but couldn’t quite match the in-form Navajo Star.
That second-place finish arguably sets the standard here, with most of these struggling for form recently.

7/1 Galactic Power 4:10 Exeter Ireland: Tony O'Hehir
Magic Of Light (3.00 Fairyhouse)
Successful over hurdles at today's 2m5f trip, the Jessica Harrington-trained six-year old performed well when second on her debut over fences at Punchestown 12 days ago and Robbie Power's mount can go one better here with the three furlong step up in trip likely to suit.

Ingleby Hollow 3.25 loves Redcar, and beat a fair yardstick in Sheriff Garrett over course and distance on his penultimate start.
More effective at this 1m6f trip than the 2m over which he finished well beaten at Catterick last Tuesday, David O’Meara’s gelding is a proven weight-carrier and can take full advantage of a drop in class.

Irish stallion Rekindling stormed home to win the Melbourne Cup by a long neck on Tuesday, overhauling Johannes Vermeer near the finish to give trainer Joseph O'Brien a victory over his father in Australia's most famous race. Max Dynamite was two lengths further back in third to give the Irish a 1-2-3 finish in the 157th running of the two-mile classic. It was a second Melbourne Cup victory for jockey Corey Brown, and a sixth for owner Lloyd Williams, who is also a co-owner of Johannes Vermeer.

in today's sporting life.................. Compensation awaits in the 188Bet Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter for Politologue's Aintree mishap according to Anita Chambers. Anita has a suggestion for every race. Politologue looked set for Grade One glory at Aintree in the spring only to stumble after the last, but compensation awaits in the 188Bet Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. The six-year-old was in the lead and settling down for a battle on the run to the line in the Maghull Novices' Chase but he lost his balance after jumping the final fence, unshipping Sam Twiston-Davies and presenting the win to stablemate San Benedeto. Paul Nicholls still won the race but he must have been a bit disappointed that this fellow could not recover given he had previously finished a fine fourth in the two-and-a-half-mile JLT at the Festival. Despite having won up to two miles and five furlongs, the drop back to two miles at Aintree appeared to bring out the best in Politologue, so sticking at that kind of trip on his return here makes perfect sense. The conditions of the race put him in a handy position and while he might struggle to deal with Altior in the better events later in the campaign, this can be a nice starting point with plenty of options to look forward to where he can gain revenge on his stablemate. With the stable in great form now looks a good time for Fergal O'Brien to send Barney Dwan back over fences in the 188bet.co.uk Novices' Chase. He is taking on some classy opponents but falls into that category himself. Unfortunate on two occasions last season, when brought down at Wincanton and unseating at Warwick, he then went back over the smaller obstacles. Showing his class, he was beaten only by the potentially top draw Presenting Percy in the Pertemps Final in March and he might have too much speed for Ballyoptic. Ninjago appears to have hit his stride in the latter half of the season and he can keep up the good work in the 32Red.com Handicap at Kempton. The seven-year-old is a well-travelled individual and given this will be his 53rd start, he has no secrets from the handicapper any more. It did look as though Paul Midgley was fighting something of a losing battle with Ninjago as he had not actually hit the target in any of his 24 starts for the team since switching from the care of Richard Hannon. However, his lack of success saw his mark slide from a high of 105 back in 2014 to a relatively lowly perch of 78 at Newmarket in July and Ninjago duly took full advantage by notching a narrow victory in what was a decent event. The handicapper did not go mad in pushing him up a couple of pounds to a mark of 80 and while Ninjago has not followed up in two outings, the fact he has hit the frame on both occasions at least means he remains competitive. Hughie Morrison's attentions will be focused on Marmelo's Melbourne Cup run early on Tuesday morning but win, lose or draw at Flemington, Compton Mill can at least add a little to the stable coffers at Redcar. He was on the mark at Nottingham at the beginning of October, backing up on a fair fourth on what had been very testing ground at Epsom three days previously. Perhaps those efforts told when he turned out again at Nottingham two weeks later and he is worth another chance in the Racing UK Free For A Month Handicap having been given a longer three-week break. Militia can make it fourth time lucky in the 32Red.com Novice Stakes at Wolverhampton. He has been in the mix on each of his three outings to date, most recently in a similar event at York, and should not be too long in getting his head in front for Richard Fahey.

Pro punter and National Hunt specialist Murt Khan goes to Exeter for his best bet this afternoon. 3.05 Exeter preview Click here for racecard and free video form Whatever achieved over hurdles was going to be a bonus as everything about him suggests he will make up into a better chaser. He impressed in a couple of his hurdle starts that read pretty well and his chasing debut was smooth against a modest bunch (second has won since). Visually he is a striking individual and in the manner he has won his races 123 looks quite a lenient mark. If he puts in a clear round of jumping today it will take a very well handicapped horse to beat him. Recommended bet Click here for our transparent tipping record.

Ar Mad and his jockey Joshua Moore both return from injury to contest the 188Bet Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter on Tuesday. Moore has steered his father Gary's stable star to each of his four victories over fences and was also on board when he finished a highly creditable fourth in the Tingle Creek at Sandown almost a year ago. Ar Mad has been sidelined by injury since, while Moore has not ridden since suffering a broken ankle in early August. Moore said: "I've been riding out and schooling for a while and I'm looking forward to getting back. Ar Mad is in good form. He obviously hasn't run since the Tingle Creek last year so we'll see how he goes. This is a starting point as much as anything. "We just want to get a run into him as although he ran very well in the Tingle Creek, he was very gassy for a lot of the race. "The Tingle Creek will be target again, I would have thought, as he likes Sandown, so hopefully we can get a run under his belt and he comes out of it well." Like his big-race mount, the jockey has suffered more than his fair share of injury problems in the last 12 months, having also dislocated his shoulder in a fall at Huntingdon on Boxing Day of last year. Gary Moore said: "Im looking forward to getting him (Ar Mad) started. If he's good enough to go and win all well and good, but the main thing is he comes back safe and sound. I want a full season out of him and the jockey." Tom George is hoping Sir Valentino can maintain his progress as he bids for back-to-back victories in the Grade Two contest. The eight-year-old saw off the reopposing Garde La Victoire by a short-head 12 months ago and although he did not get on the scoresheet again last season, he performed with credit at a high level, most notably when finishing third in the Queen Mother Champion Chase at Cheltenham. Sir Valentino goes for a repeat success off a 13lb higher rating,but George could not be happier with his charge. "He's in good form and has been going nicely at home," said the Slad-based handler "He's come a long way in the last 12 months, from where he started off to being placed in the Champion Chase. Let's hope he can keep that going." Brian Elllison's Forest Bihan has a race fitness edge over some of his rivals, having impressed on his seasonal reappearance at Kelso a month ago. Ellison said: "He seems in good form and I think he's improved over the summer. He was good at Kelso and I definitely think he's improved for the run." Paul Nicholls has won the Haldon Gold Cup five times, most notably with future Champion Chase winners Flagship Uberalles (1999) and Azertyuiop (2004). This year the Ditcheat maestro saddles Politologue and San Benedeto, while his 2015 winner of this race, Vibrato Valtat, makes his first appearance since moving to Emma Lavelle's yard. "Touch wood he's been really good and we're looking forward to getting him started," said Lavelle. "He'd obviously lost his way a little but, so we're hoping the change of scene might just revitalise him. He seems to be enjoying himself and rightly or wrongly we're leaving the headgear off him. We're starting from scratch. "It's a little bit of a fact-finding mission from our point of view, so we'll see how he goes." The Philip Hobbs-trained Garde La Victoire has also had a run this autumn, finishing second over hurdles at Auteuil. Gino Trail, trained by Kerry Lee, completes the eight-strong field.

David Evans has been fined a total of £3,140 following a disciplinary panel hearing related to the trainer betting on one of his own horses. Evans was found to have engaged in "conduct prejudicial to the integrity, proper conduct and/or good reputation of horseracing in Great Britain" after he placed a large bet on Black Dave to win at Wolverhampton in January 2015, prior to the withdrawal of his stablemate Tango Sky. The maximum penalty for the offence is a three-year disqualification, but the trainer was fined £3,000, with this being his first offence, and a further £140 for not immediately declaring a non-runner. The disciplinary panel heard that Evans was intent upon "nicking a bit of extra value" when placing a bet with Ladbrokes on one of his two declared runners without disclosing that he was about to pull out the other horse, which was then the market leader. However, he did, immediately after making the bet, tell Ladbrokes that he was going to withdraw Tango Sky, and their trader was content to confirm his bet. The panel heard that while there is "no indication that other gamblers, unaware of the impending withdrawal of Tango Sky on a vet's certificate, actually incurred any loss from the existence of a market priced on that basis that Tango Sky would run, the sport has a fundamental interest in honest and accurate betting markets and Evans' failure to notify a withdrawal promptly was a base cause of a false position existing for an hour or so on the morning of the race". Black Dave, who was sent off a 6/4 favourite, was beaten into fourth place.

Conor Brassil was taken to hospital after suffering a suspected broken leg in a fall in the final race at Fairyhouse on Tuesday.
The 5lb claimer, son of Grand National-winning trainer Martin Brassil, was partnering Demi Plie in the two-mile handicap hurdle when his mount came to grief at the third flight.
Brassil received attention from on-course medical staff and was then taken to hospital for further assessment.
Martin Brassil told Press Association Sport: "It's not confirmed but it looks like he's broken his leg. It's below the knee on the shin bone.
"He's not long been back from injury and 2017 hasn't been a great year for him, but he's coming out the other side."

IN TODAY'S SPORTING LIFE................ Southfield Royale is too well handicapped to ignore in the Badger Ales Trophy at Wincanton on Saturday. In a Cheltenham Festival preview in March, ratings experts Timeform wrote "we feel the official assessor has been very generous by dropping Southfield Royale 6 lb for his low-key return in the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster in late-January. "Granted, he finished twelfth of the 14 runners, but things went wrong from an early stage as he blundered at the first fence and was hampered at the second. He was also entitled to be rusty after nine months off." Sent off at 7/1 for the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup Amateur Riders' Handicap Chase he got no further than the ninth which trainer Neil Mulholland described as 'particularly frustrating as we felt he had a great chance'. All in all the season was a write off with a setback ruling him out until the second half of the season and then that fall at Cheltenham followed by an admittedly disappointing run in the Scottish Grand National for which the handicapper dropped him by another 3lbs. Southfield Royale may not progress as had once been anticipated and Timeform and others may have to reassess the view that he is generously treated but I think he is well worth another chance. At just seven years of age and with only 15 starts under his belt, there is plenty of time for the Presenting gelding to set the record straight. His first season over fences was full of promise with a Grade Two victory at Doncaster followed by a Grade One second to Tea For Two at Kempton over Christmas before he went to Cheltenham as the 4.1 favourite for the National Hunt Chase, finishing fourth behind Minella Rocco, Native River and Measureofmydreams. He is rated just 138 now having been as high as 147 over fences and he retains the potential to far exceed that latter racing if Mulholland can get his career back on track.The Wiltshire handler hasn't enjoyed an awful lot of luck in this race, seeing The Young Master disqualified after a "computer systems failure" at Weatherbys. Since that calamitous day in 2014, he has sent out Carole's Destrier to finish fifth, under top-weight, and Fingerontheswitch to be third. This is clearly a race that he has his runners primed for and he has four entered this time around with The Young Master and Carole's Destrier potentially back for more with Betbright Handicap Chase winner Pilgrims Bay completing the quartet. Southfield Royale is undoubtedly the best handicapped of them and at a top price of 14/1, he's well worth backing in the hope that he's allowed to take his chance on Saturday.

Politologue led home San Benedeto to give Paul Nicholls a one-two in the 188Bet Haldon Gold Cup at Exeter. The grey, an unfortunate loser at Aintree last season when stumbling a few strides after the last fence, looked like winning on the bridle at one stage. Having travelled and jumped with elan all the way, Politologue appeared to get very tired in the closing stages, giving his stablemate another chance after the last. However, San Twiston-Davies was able to keep the 5/2 favourite up to his work to win by two and a quarter lengths. Gino Trail, who led until the top of the home straight, stayed on to finish third, just ahead of Garde La Victoire.

Winning owner John Hales, fortunate enough to have seen Azertyuiop and the brilliant One Man race in his silks, said: "We thought we'd won it at Aintree. "I've never had a horse trip before. He landed perfectly then he tripped but today was perfection. "That was how to jump at speed. He settled well. The ground helped him to settle. I was delighted with his performance and I thought it was excellent. "I'm sure the Tingle Creek (Sandown) is where we will go. It will be some race. I won't say he will beat Altior but I think he will give him a good race." Paul Nicholls watches the finish Paul Nicholls watches the finish Nicholls said: "I thought he might just need it (the run) a fraction on that ground. "He had a gallop the day and the other horse had had a run and to be fair to San Benedeto he has improved massively and he has run really well, too. "That was a good performance as he can only improve. Sam said he jumped brilliantly and travelled so well. "He got there almost too soon but we will head off to the Tingle Creek now. "Last year I got in my mind we were doing the wrong thing with him and not using his jumping, which is his best asset. "He probably is a really good two-miler which he has proved today and we have obviously have got to go down the route of the Tingle Creek and hope it is soft." Nicholls went on: "They were so far in front of the rest he was probably just getting a bit tired and lonely. He was idling a little in front. "Last year in those novices, because of his jumping ability, he couldn't help going off in front and that is why we put the hood on near the end. "In the better races like this when they were going to go quicker, he was always going to settle and it was going to be better for him. Even though he was keen over the first bit, he's learnt to settle and he has that bit of class. "He is the same model as Master Minded. He is that type of horse and has got that speed. Master Minded was brilliant but I'm not saying he is him. "San Benedeto could run in the Tingle Creek, but there is a £100,000 handicap at Ascot at the end of November and he will probably go there and Bryony's (Frost) 5lb claim will come in handy on him. He will win a real nice race somewhere."

Ballyoptic was not far off the best staying hurdlers last season and there is every indication he could take a similarly high rank over fences after he brought up Twiston-Davies' treble with a 13-length victory in the 188bet.co.uk Novices' Chase at Exeter. Winning trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies said of the 7/4 winner: "He was pretty special over hurdles and without Unowhatimeanharry around he would have won some good races. "After we ran at Newton Abbot (over hurdles last month) we then started schooling him and he has been absolutely magic. The three-mile Grade Two at Newbury next month is a possibility." Sam Twiston-Davies, who also won the feature on Politologue, enjoyed further glory when he teamed up with Nicholls to take the two-mile-one novices' hurdle with Dynamite Dollars (10/11 favourite). The jockey brought up a four-timer in the last race of the day when the David Dennis-trained Norse Light (5/1) won the extended two-mile-two handicap hurdle by half a length. Twiston-Davies said: "You always dream of having days like this but it doesn't often happen." Ask The Weatherman (100/30) set up tilt at the Coral Welsh National after he ground out a three-quarters-of-a-length victory in the Smith & Williamson Handicap Chase to complete a double for jockey Nick Scholfield. Trainer Jack Barber said: "I thought Exeter would suit him. We had been praying for rain the last couple of days and it has paid off. He will go straight to the Welsh National now." A trip north of the border is next up for Dancing Shadow (9/1) after he initiated Scholfield's brace with a half-length success in the extended two-mile-five novices' hurdle. Trainer Victor Dartnall said: "We knew he would stay and I didn't want him having a sprint - that's why we kept him up there and made it a true gallop. This was a prep race as he will go to Kelso now for the Borders National." Ask The Weatherman Ask The Weatherman will head straight to the Welsh Grand National QUOTE OF THE DAY Nigel Twiston-Davies on Ballyoptic: "I thought they (bookmakers) knew everything. He was 9lb well in. How was the other one (Barney Dwan) favourite?" PERFORMANCE OF THE DAY Politologue may have claimed the feature race, but Ballyoptic looks a potential leading novice chaser among the staying division after he made an impressive switch to fences. RIDE OF THE DAY Nick Scholfield knew that only a stamina test would suffice for Dancing Shadow and he got his tactics spot-on when he turned the extended two-mile-five novices' hurdle into a war of attrition. TWEET OF THE DAY Paul Nicholls' assistant, Harry Derham (@harry05derham) Magic day here @exeterraces, Dynamite Dollars winning and a 1, 2 in the Haldon Gold Cup with Politilogue & San Benedeto, well done team!

Nick Robson says Tomily can end the season with a bang by following up in the Lady Cecil Handicap at Nottingham on Wednesday. Tomily can end the season with a bang by following up in the Lady Cecil Handicap at Nottingham. Seemingly in the grip of the handicapper for a large part of the year, Richard Hannon's gelding flashed home to win a decent prize at Doncaster last time out. Hollie Doyle was on board the three-year-old for the first time and Tomily appeared well suited to her handling and he beat Soie D'Leau by half a length. He has been put up 4lb for that success to a mark of 95 but he was competitive off similar ratings earlier in the season and with the confidence of a victory under his belt there is every chance he could go in again. Hipster Boy is a very interesting newcomer for John Gosden in the first division of the B&M Installations Maiden Stakes. Apart from the fact he is another horse running for Gosden in the famous maroon and white silks of Sheikh Mohammed, he breeding certainly catches the eye. He is a half-brother to the top-class Manduro, who was arguably on the way to being a great of the game before his career was cut short by injury having already won the Prix Jacques le Marois and Prince of Wales's Stakes. Plenty of Gosden's juveniles have taken a run or two to sharpen up this season, and he does have a stablemate by Galileo in Rhode Island who can not be dismissed, but Hipster Boy could be exciting. Lady Of Aran is going the right way and can follow up a last-time-out win in the 32Red.com Nursery Handicap at Kempton. Trainer Charlie Fellowes declared her for a Listed contest at Newmarket last week before pulling her out on account of unsuitable ground, suggesting he thinks a fair bit of her. Given she is only rated 76 it is certainly more practical to head down this route, but if Fellowes is anywhere near right she should be winning this small-field event. Something was obviously amiss with Alqamar last time at Yarmouth and he can put that behind him with a good display in the 32Red Casino Handicap. He ran at Royal Ascot in June, after which he was gelded, and subsequently he chased home Great Hall at Ascot. Sent off favourite to turn the tables on that rival last time out he was beaten too far for it to be his true running and he is given one more chance. Daklondike could not have won any easier at Wetherby on Saturday and a big hike in the weights awaits. Therefore it is no surprise to see David Pipe get him out again quickly in the Ali Oils Memorial Chase at Chepstow. He is carrying a 7lb penalty but he can probably expect to be carrying double that by the time the handicapper has reassessed him. Kevin Ryan does not have many jumpers but Beyond The Clouds can maintain his unbeaten start to the season in the Alistair Montgomery Trust Novices' Hurdle at Musselburgh. Sporting Life suggestions: CHEPSTOW: 12.55 Market Road, 1.25 Run To Milan, 2.00 Swift Crusador, 2.35 Gowiththeflow, 3.10 Red Rising, 3.40 Daklondike, 4.15 West To The Bridge.
