TIM EASTERBY sets his supporters a real teaser at York today by running both Flighty Fellow and Mrs Moh in the betfair.com Handicap.

Without a shadow of doubt either of the talented duo are capable of lifting the one-mile prize, but a first choice must be made and Mrs Moh (3.15) just gets the nod ahead of her senior stable companion.

The string of impressive form figures beside the selection's name on the racecard clearly demonstrates that consistency has been the hallmark of Mrs Moh's performances over the past few months.

And it not just the fact that she finds the frame just about every time she runs, because close examination of the Easterby-trained filly's penultimate outing when second to Flipando at Musselburgh, shows a marked improvement on anything achieved in the past.

In recommending siding with Mrs Moh, it is with the instruction that backers do so each-way, as well as having as a similar saver on Flighty Fellow, who cannot be ruled out having run out of his skin to snatch third-spot in a red-hot heat at Ascot 12 days ago.

Easterby's team might also be on the mark with the hat-trick seeking Go Tech (2.40) in the preceding Garbutt & Elliott Handicap.

Go Tech served up a tasty 7-1 treat for followers of this column's naps when streaking home at Pontefract last month.

The son of Gothenberg has since landed some hefty wagers with a blistering three-length win at Redcar, an emphatic victory for which he has picked up a 6lb penalty.

It is up to individual judgement to decide whether this extra weight is sufficient to stop him in the mile-and-a-quarter affair, however for my money it will not be enough to prevent Go Tech getting in the shake-up once again.

For the closing race, Stallone (5.00) should not be discounted even though his most recent displays have not been particularly encouraging.

There is sometimes a silver lining to the grey clouds hanging over an out-of-sorts thoroughbred, and the fact that Stallone has not been doing so well means he has taken a dip in the ratings.

The statistics tell us that Noel Wilson's seven-year-old is now 7lb lower than when beaten less than a length in the Queen Mother's Cup over course and distance in June.

A reproduction of that level of ability would unquestionably put Stallone into the reckoning for the Green Howards Apprentice Handicap, a significantly softer task than the one he faced in mid-summer on the Knavesmire.

Carlisle's National Hunt fixture once more highlights the dearth of staying chasers with a pathetically small field of only five turning out for the feature race of the fixture, the £10,000 E4B Handicap Chase.

I expect Lockerbie-based handler Andrew Parker rubbed his hands in glee when he saw the lack of strength-in-depth that his entry, Harlov (3.30), has to face.

Harlov's 230-day absence need not be of concern seeing as he's gone well fresh in the past, which combined with previous winning form at the track, makes him a good bet in my book to take home the booty.
