TRAIL-BLAZING Tawzeea (2.25) can get punters off to the perfect start by mopping up Catterick's opener, the six-furlong EBF Maiden Stakes.

This superbly-bred colt, who hails from the same family as Japan Cup hero Singspiel, should, according to his fancy pedigree, be strutting his stuff at the likes of Newmarket or Ascot.

Unfortunately, much as owners such as Hamdan Al Maktoum invest in bloodstock, it doesn't often result in a superstar being produced.

But a winner is a winner and judged by the way Tawzeea flew from the gates and so nearly made all on his Haydock debut suggests his turn has come, albeit in a lowly Class 5 contest.

Bryan Smart's two-year-old team have done the Sutton Bank handler proud over the past few months, a trend set to be maintained by Soopacal (4.10).

The son of Captain Rio made a sensational Beverley bow when streaking to a five-length victory against much more experienced rivals on a rain-softened surface.

Despite not having backed up that inaugural win in two subsequent outings, Soopacal hasn't done too much wrong and the October Nursery is there for the taking.

Let It Be's attempt to nab the Richmond Handicap for the second year in a row may have been scuppered by yesterday's downpour.

Keith Reveley's mare is best when the ground is firm, whereas Vice Admiral (5.20) is more versatile.

Mick Easterby's four-year-old, corners better than Lewis Hamilton, a necessary skill around the tightest track in the region.
