TIME MACHINE has shown more than enough on his first two outings to suggest he can get off the mark in the Lemond & Gabriel Friendship Across The Water Median Auction Maiden Stakes at Folkestone.

The Halling gelding was not particularly well fancied for his racecourse introduction at Yarmouth, but he ran most encouragingly to fill the runner-up spot behind a decent sort in Holyrood.

Expected to build on that performance when sent to Goodwood the following month, he had to go down as a slight disappointment as he was ultimately well held in fourth.

It may be that the step up to a mile and a half was a bridge too far that day and back over ten furlongs, he looks sure to give another good account.

Confide In Me put up a career best effort to finish second on his seasonal reappearance and the Lipscomb Abarth Handicap looks well within his compass.

The Gerard Butler inmate is quite lightly raced for a five-year-old and failed to cut much ice on his first five outings.

However, his recent staying-on effort at Yarmouth showed that there is definitely some ability there and off a mark of just 55, he will find few better opportunities than this.

Rosaleen showed one or two pieces of seriously smart form last season and she merits the utmost respect on her return to action in the Weatherbys Bank Pipalong Stakes at Pontefract.

A creditable fourth in last year’s Nell Gwyn, Brian Meehan’s filly confirmed that abundant promise with success in an Ascot conditions race next time.

A couple of disappointing efforts followed but she bounced back to form at Sandown in July as she got the better of subsequent Group One-placed filly Visit.

There is every chance she is better than ever with another winter under her belt and this Listed event is a good place for her to get the campaign under way.

The best bet at Windsor comes in the concluding sportingbet.com Fillies’ Handicap where Ed Dunlop’s Little Calla will take the world of beating.

The daughter of Indian Ridge finished fourth after missing the break on her Great Leighs debut, before occupying the same position over the same course and distance next time.

She looked an improved filly when second at Lingfield on the first start of the new season and her initial handicap mark of just 62 looks very workable indeed.

Newton Abbot flies the flag for the National Hunt game and it is hard to look past the Paul Nicholls-trained Classic Swain in the ‘‘Your Name Here’’ Novices’ Hurdle.

■ Penny’s Gift struck for the Richard Hannon team as she lifted the German 1000 Guineas in Dusseldorf.

Given a smart front-running ride from Richard Hughes, the daughter of Tobougg made virtually all, although she was all out at the end to hold the fast-finishing pair of Fabiana and Entre Deux Eaux.

It was a deserved win for the filly, who was not beaten far when sixth in the Newmarket Guineas behind Ghanaati last month.
