DON'T forget to back Time To Remember (4.15) in the Northern Echo Handicap at Redcar tomorrow.

There's been a magnificent entry to the race we're sponsoring with a total of no less than 24 runners due to face the starter.

Of course such a huge field does not make it easy for punters, but if potential for improvement is anything to go by, then Time To Remember should give us a good each-way run for our money.

Co-owned by Timeform directors, Reg Griffin and Jim McGrath, who doubles up as one of Channel 4's racing gurus, Time To Remember has so far failed to build on his sole victory as a juvenile at Pontefract just over a year ago.

However, on the plus side, he's a handsome gelding with bags of physical scope, whereas the majority of the opposition are fully exposed having already shown their respective hands to the Official Handicapper on numerous occasions.

"He ran so badly at Doncaster in May we had him blood-tested but nothing came to light.

"Since then he's had a few weeks on the easy list as well as being turned out to grass in the afternoon, prior to resuming full training and a couple of pieces of work," said McGrath, who admits to being "more hopeful than confident."

In the preceding event, sponsored by our sister paper, The Clarion, Typhoon Ginger (3.40) makes plenty of appeal, although once again each-way stakes are advised.

It can be argued that siding with six-year-old maidens is one of the quickest routes to the poor house, however in mitigation, Typhoon Ginger has had more than her fair share of near-misses and hard-luck stories over the past couple of years.

A good example was last time out at Doncaster where the mare mounted a menacing challenge at the furlong pole, only to weaken near the finish as a result of her suspect stamina giving way over the extended mile-and-a-quarter distance.

Now back of her optimum trip of one mile, I expect Typhoon Ginger to at least make the frame, with the distinct possibility of gaining a much-deserved and well overdue inaugural success.

* Aidan O'Brien has strong hopes of landing the Group One Prix Maurice de Gheest over six and a half furlongs at Deauville tomorrow.

The leading Irish trainer is responsible for likely favourites King Charlemagne and Minardi who will be coupled for betting purposes. King Charlemagne has won a Group Three and a Group Two in Ireland this season whilst Minardi was fourth and third respectively in the English and Irish 2000 Guineas before disappointing at Royal Ascot.
