Mark Brisbourne does a sterling job with his team in Shropshire and can hit the target again with Secret Asset at Musselburgh.

While not renowned for victorious two-year-olds, Brisbourne has unearthed a progressive juvenile in this Clodovil gelding.

Secret Asset arrives at the Scottish venue with hat-trick aspirations and it will take a smart one to stop him.

Having shown promise on his first two starts, Brisbourne's runner broke his maiden tag in good style at Haydock with a length-and-a-quarter success from Godolphin's Wolgan Valley.

That performance was enhanced by the exploits of Captain Gerrard, who was a well-held third that day.

Bryan Smart's sprinter won two races after Haydock before finishing third in a Goodwood Group Three.

Captain Gerrard's Listed success at York in August has since made the form look watertight, while Secret Asset also stuck to his end of the deal at Beverley.

Having a first start in nursery company, he made short shrift of a mark of 88 to easily fend off the late advances of Natmana.

That one-length verdict was achieved on similar ground to that expected for the Betfair Nursery, which looks a perfect chance to gain further kudos.

Everymanforhimself can step in from the cold to warm the cockles of Leicester punters wishing to invest in the Weatherbys Printing Handicap.

James Given's three-year-old has flickered without ever igniting this term, but has clearly trained on judged by his two-length reverse behind a couple of smart ones in Genki and Lipocco at Newmarket in May.

His last run at Warwick was not too clever, but it does leave him teasingly handicapped off a career-low perch of 82.

Everymanforhimself struck gold off a 10lb higher mark at Nottingham last August, while those prepared to overlook Warwick can point to a good show at Ripon on the colt's penultimate start.

The son of Fasliyev won his race on the stands side but had to make do with third as the first two home came with a rattle along the far rail. A replication of that effort must see him go close.

Redcar's card will not be embraced by the purists, but followers of The Riddler are not entitled to give two hoots if this young gun is firing on all cylinders.

A product of Jamie Osborne's unrelenting juvenile-winning supply-line, the Daylami colt was just touched off by Keenes Day in a five-runner maiden last month - a race which has since harvested a runaway scorer in Destinys Dream.
