GORDON ELLIOTT, who would have enjoyed such a thrill seeing Silver Birch at the head of affairs until he fell in the Grand National, makes another of his frequent trips to England with Spearman.

A winning point-to-pointer, he could be a cut above his rivals in Sedgefield’s LWC Drinks Novices’ Hurdle.

Jaser showed some seriously smart form last season and looks certain to give a good account of himself in the Paddock Package Handicap at Pontefract on his reappearance.

The Alhaarth colt won once from three starts as a juvenile and picked up where he left off this time last year as he made a winning return at Nottingham, showing that he can go well first time out.

He quickly followed up in a similarly moderate contest but improved again on those efforts to fill third spot in the highly competitive Silver Bowl at Haydock.

He failed to make much impact in the Britannia Stakes at Royal Ascot or in a decent event at Ripon next time, but his most recent third over this 10-furlong trip was much more like it.

Considering the winner of that event Expresso Star went on to win the Lincoln and the runner-up Suits Me has won five times since, the form could hardly be stronger so Jaser must have very solid claims off a mark of just 90.

His stablemate Select can give Peter Chapple-Hyam a double in division one of the Ken Jones Birthday Celebration Maiden Fillies’ Stakes.

A moderate sixth on her debut at Lingfield, the daughter of Choisir showed significant improvement to finish second to the smart Baileys Cacao in a Listed heat at Newmarket next time.

She was disappointing on her final start in soft ground at Nottingham but back on a faster surface, she should be hard to beat at this level.

Eton Fable has been knocking firmly on the door of late and looks the solution to a tricky looking Betfair Apprentice Training Series Handicap.

The four-year-old has shown some decent form round here having won once and finished third from just three starts at the West Yorkshire venue.

Two recent placed efforts at Lingfield suggest his turn is near and this could well be his day.

Alan King seems to know just how to get the best out of his fillies and Call Me A Legend is a case in point as she goes in search of a hat-trick at Fontwell.

The five-year-old won two of her four starts in bumpers and was also placed in a Listed heat at Aintree this time last year.
