PAUL Hanagan and Richard Fahey have proved a potent combination this term and they can score a local victory with Flying Statesman at Doncaster.

Champion jockey-elect Hanagan still holds a doublefigure lead over Richard Hughes as he bids to strike a famous blow for the north, with retained trainer Fahey having proved a valuable ally in his title quest.

It is the Musley Bank handler who can provide a winning opportunity in the Sovereign Health Care Handicap.

The three-year-old has not seen much action this term, being limited to just two starts after three outings as a juvenile.

He needed his initial run on Town Moor last month, as he showed much improved form when not far away in a similar event to this at Haydock.

Beaten just a length in fourth, he was finishing well that day on what was testing ground.

Conditions are expected to be a little better here and having been raised just 1lb for that effort, Flying Statesman can use his relative freshness to good effect over some battle- weary rivals.

Namibian looks a runner of some potential and is the choice in the Betfair Supports Sia And Heartbeat Appeal Nursery.

Beaten at Goodwood on his racecourse bow, he was green enough that day but the experience evidently brought him on as he got his head in front next time out.

He clearly enjoyed the easy ground at York that day and was more than three lengths clear at the finish without really having to hit top gear.

Mark Johnston steps the Cape Cross up to a mile for the first time here but that is of little concern and he can sign off the season in style.

Diamond Duchess is on a roll at present and she can make it a hat-trick in Ayr’s Daily Record Handicap.

David Lanigan gave her a bit of a break after winning at Sandown in June and the absence obviously did her no harm at all as she returned in style at Newbury earlier this month.

A half-length winner that day, the Dubawi filly has gone up 6lb but could be one with a little still up her sleeve.

Ahmed Ajtebi can steer Mutual Force to a deserved success in the betdaq.com Nursery at Wolverhampton.

He finished with some purpose when fourth last time but his young rider had evidently left it a shade too late after sitting in last.

Compensation awaits on his first try on the all weather.

Shakalakaboomboom has failed to get on the mark in four starts but the switch to fences should aid his cause at Fakenham. Seconds in bumper and hurdles company shows he has ability but he has fallen slightly short on both occasions, most recently at Hereford in March.
