FEW stables are in better form at the moment than that of Ruth Carr and another winner is on the cards with Frognal in the Redcar Racecourse Wedding And Conference Venue Handicap.

The five-year-old Frognal is well handicapped relative to some of his best efforts and served notice his turn is near once more when an eyecatching second on his return at Catterick.

Held up off a strong pace, he made smooth progress through the final furlong and would have been a cosy winner without Masked Dance.

The handicapper has put him up a pound for that but as it was his first run since September he will be all the sharper for it and is still on the same mark as when successful at Beverley in July.

Hopefully, the Tees Valley track will avoid the thundery showers doing the rounds as the selection loves to hear his hooves rattle.

Patch Patch has a golden chance in the Enjoy The Hospitality At Redcar Racecourse Selling Stakes.

Narrowly touched off in a Catterick handicap on Tuesday having not been seen since August, he has not had that much racing and relishes a firm surface, as witnessed by his third over this course and distance in July.

This a drop in class for the Michael Dods-trained four-yearold and he is the only one in this who could be described as having more to offer.

Kevin Ryan has his team going well and holds leading claims in the Voltigeur 2 Course Special Menu £10.95 Maiden Fillies’ Stakes with Pantella.

Second on debut and third next time at Windsor, she looked ready for six furlongs at Windsor, having shown a fair bit over a stiff five at Beverley on debut.

She gets her chance at the longer trip now and has Dods’ Spinatrix to beat.

Henry Cecil can have a winner at Brighton where he sends Emilio Largo for the City Cabs Maiden Stakes.

The gelding will be having a first run for the Warren Place maestro as he was with Ralph Beckett for his sole racecourse appearance last year.

That came at Salisbury in May and saw him finish fifth in what has turned out to be a really decent maiden, won by the subsequently Group-placed Dinkum Diamond and also featuring the highly-tried Foghorn Leghorn.

Any improvement on that form makes a race of this nature well within his compass.

Side Glance turned a recent Listed event at Ascot into a procession and should prove very hard to beat in Windsor’s sportingbet.com Stakes.

Always a high-class handicapper, he definitely looks to have progressed for another winter on his back.

It is worth noting William Buick keeps the ride on Pat Eddery’s Storm Hawk in the 32Red.com Handicap at Wolverhampton after a course-and-distance strike last time out.

He has been put up 3lb for a head success but showed a really good attitude and is worth sticking with.
