Missoula can supplement a recent success by taking the Bristol University And Literary Club Handicap at Bath.

Mark Tompkins' stayer showed bags of resilience in quite a competitive heat at Chester, in which the quick ground and tight track proved vital elements for success.

Raised just 4lb for that half-length verdict, the daughter of Kalanisi should be right at home at here and again looks likely to have conditions to suit.

It should be remembered Missoula was once rated as high as 80 so her revised mark for this extended two-mile-one-furlong hike still gives her every chance.

Brian Meehan's First Trim has looked quite smart on his last two outings and looks to have been found a nice race to break his maiden in the EBF/John Sisk Maiden Stakes.

The Acclamation colt showed promise in a tough Newbury maiden before finishing third to Crystany over six furlongs at Ripon.

First Trim then occupied that same position at Goodwood, in which he showed signs of fatigue inside the distance.

Taking a slight drop in trip therefore appears a wise move from connections who do particularly well with this stamp of animal.

Young Bertie is an obvious candidate for top honours in the horsemart.co.uk Apprentice Handicap at Brighton.

Hughie Morrison's four-year-old has been consistent since switching back to turf and fully warranted his victory on firm ground at Pontefract.

In addition, the form from that one-mile affair now looks watertight as runner-up Keisha Kayleigh has gone in at Redcar.

A 4lb penalty is not overly excessive given the manner of that success and he should go well in the hands of the well-regarded Luke Morris.

Balata is a reasonably confident pick in the first division of the EBF Maiden Stakes at Windsor.

Rod Millman's youngster ran with plenty of credit to finish second at Leicester last time up.
