JALDARSHAAN looks well up to winning an ordinary maiden which is exactly what she has been found in the shape of the Insider Dealmaker Maiden Stakes at Ffos Las.

Bill Ratcliffe’s youngster stepped up markedly from her debut run in August to chase home Constant Craving at Windsor last week, doing her best work at the finish to take third.

All the indications are that she can improve again from that, which should make her hard to beat unless the Luca Cumani filly Red Current is above average.

Pastoral Player has nowhere near as many wins to his name as he should for a horse of his ability but he can add another in the HM Plant Hitachi Handicap.

Hughie Morrison’s threeyear- old has bags of talent, but can be his own worst enemy with his antics at the start.

However, he has invariably plied his trade in good company and rarely is he disgraced.

His latest effort again did not go smoothly from the stalls but he was not far away in ninth in a what looked a solid handicap at Doncaster, beaten less than four lengths.

Now on a mark of 92, a rating from which he pushed Mister Hughie to a neck at the start of the campaign, he can get seriously involved here if things go right on what represents a drop in grade.

Starshine should relish the mile and six furlongs of the Bluefin Insurance Handicap.

Roger Charlton’s threeyear- old has plenty of stamina on her dam’s side and she ran her best race yet on her handicap debut upped to a mile and a half when last seen, shaping as if further would suit.

She has been dropped a couple of pounds for that and the smart JP Fahy takes another five off, making her look something to bet on.

Walter Swinburn’s Elegant Muse has been off since May so fitness has to be taken on trust in the digibet Maiden Fillies’ Stakes at Kempton.

But she did look a filly to note and her third to Margot Did at Newbury worked out really well at the time.

If she is ready for this, that run sets a fair standard for the others to aim at.

Terdaad’s second here was an improved effort and he may have more to give in the digibet Casino Maiden Stakes.

This is quite a trappy little affair but the proven ability of the Godolphin runner to act round here could be the deciding factor.

Bon Spiel has a decent chance in the Hildon Handicap Hurdle at Fontwell, while Lucy’s Perfect should take all of the beating at Worcester.

Her recent second at Huntingdon puts her bang in the frame for the Book Christmas Parties At Worcester Racecourse Mares’ Novices’ Hurdle.
