CRITICAL PATH was a massive eyecatcher on her racecourse introduction at Kempton and has to be rated shortlist material as she makes her second start in Goodwood.

Her trainer Andrew Balding has enjoyed a fantastic start to the season and although sent off a relatively unconsidered 33-1 chance, this filly was a slightly unlucky fourth on her debut after having been hampered in the straight.

She makes the switch to turf in the Goodwood Flying School Maiden Fillies’ Stakes and there is surely much more to come from this daughter of Noverre.

Smart hurdler Caoba made a winning return to the level at Nottingham earlier this month - and a penalty may not be enough to stop her following up in the Goodwood Aerodrome Stakes.

The five-year-old enjoyed a fine winter campaign over the obstacles, winning twice as well as finishing in a very good third place in a Listed contest at Cheltenham in April.

Victor Dartnall’s mare had not competed on the Flat on British soil prior to her most recent effort, when, after striking the front a long way from home, she did well to keep up the gallop to score a shade cosily.

Caoba was probably value for more than the winning margin on that occasion and with champion jockey Ryan Moore again in the plate, it would be surprising if she is not involved at the business end.

Reject showed marked improvement from his first run to his second and can get his head in front for the first time in Hamilton’s John Higgins ‘‘Wizard of Wishaw’’ Maiden Stakes.

The William Haggas inmate did not show a great deal when sixth on his debut at Pontefract, but his second at Ripon last time was much more like it.

This does not look the strongest race in the world and he would not have to improve a huge amount to win a contest of this nature.

Admin was another to take the eye on his debut and has been found a very winnable opportunity at Haydock.

The juvenile did not appear to know what was expected of him at Goodwood at the start of the month, and it was just raw talent that allowed him to finish a close-up third.

He should know plenty about his job now and while the EBF MHA Int-Elect Maiden Stakes is difficult to weigh up, with so many newcomers, Admin sets a standard that will be tough to match.

Chookie Hamilton is in the form of his life, and a hat-trick could be in the offing as he lines up in the Scottish Racing Your Better Bet Handicap at Musselburgh.

The five-year-old won by three lengths at Hamilton on his penultimate start, before following up in fine style at Carlisle on Monday.

Towcester fly the flag for the National Hunt game and Alanna Castle is taken to strike in the Glazerite South West Novices’ Hurdle following a recent Exeter success.
