It's always worth noting the trainers that have just returned to form after a quiet spell and one that falls firmly into that category is Noel Wilson, who has recently been on the mark with Acomb (twice) and Locombe Hill.

And, at a decent price, his Santiburi Lad, is fancied to give a good account in the Midland Racing - 9 Great Venues - Handicap over a mile and a quarter at Nottingham this afternoon.

Wilson's eight-year-old was in good form at this time last year where he notched up a double when making all the running over this trip on easy ground at Haydock and at Beverley.

He's not been at his best on his last couple of starts but has done more than enough to suggest he retains plenty of ability this term and he's certainly on a decent looking mark at present.

Danny Tudhope, also in good form, takes the mount and he can also be on the mark with Major Magpie for Michael Dods in the Come Racing On Saturday 2nd July Handicap over a mile.

The gelding disappointed at Thirsk last time but had previously shown a fair level of ability on his previous two starts and will be well suited by the step up to this longer trip and the switch to handicap company.

Mark Johnston, who got off the mark at Royal Ascot At York on Friday, can take the HBLB Handicap with the unexposed Emerald Bay, who opened his account at Haydock last time.

The son of King's Best made all the running that day to beat what looked an ordinary field in emphatic manner and similar tactics in this small field should see him given another good account.

At Musselburgh's afternoon fixture Passion Fruit is taken to follow up last week's easy Carlisle win on his reappearance in the Peter Walker Group Handicap over seven furlongs.

The return to this trip isn't a concern and, after last week's success trainer Chris Fairhurst said that he did not think that the quicker ground conditions would be a problem.

Dream Fantasy should appreciate the step up to seven furlongs and can supplement his recent Chepstow six furlong success in the Brooke Courses for Horses Novice Auction Stakes.

At Ripon's evening fixture Rainbow Rising can be another winner for Howard Johnson and Graham Wylie in the Norman Wells Memorial Challenge Trophy Handicap over six furlongs.

Although he didn't have to be anywhere near his best to win his maiden on his debut, he did score with any amount in hand and is an interesting runner for his in-form stable on this handicap debut.

William Jarvis can be in double form with Namat in the Pricewaterhousecoopers Handicap over a mile and a quarter and with Calabaza in the Coverdale Maiden over six furlongs.

The former is a progressive sort who hasn't been seen since winning her maiden at Bath last September but she's capable of better and Calabaza has a good chance in an ordinary event on what he's shown in two outings.

l Dave Allan took the riding honours at Redcar on Saturday with a sparkling near 63-1 treble.

Two of his winners - Go Tech (11-2) in the totesport.com Handicap and Molly Marie (13-8) in the Psyche Department Store Maiden Stakes - were for North Yorkshire trainer Tim Easterby.

His other was on Let It Be (11-4) for Saltburn handler Keith Reveley in the totepool Awaybet Handicap.

Derek McGaffin had mixed fortunes, however, riding a 35-1 double and being handed a three-day ban.

His suspension (June 29 to July 1) came after he had completed his brace on 2-1 favourite Redwood Rocks in the Romfords Caterers Classified Stakes, and was for excessive use of the whip and for not giving his mount time to respond.

He had earlier opened his account on 11-1 shot Skiddaw Wolf in the Durham Tees Valley Airport Handicap to give trainer Bryan Smart an across-the-card double following the victory of Titus Alone at Royal Ascot at York.
