VERINCO only narrowly failed to make all at Musselburgh last time and is the choice in Catterick’s Derek Jones 60th Birthday Handicap.

The five-year-old made a bold bid from the front that day after well over three months off the track and he was only edged out of it near the line.

Going down by just half a length, Verinco showed plenty of pace and should be a touch fitter for this event.

Nahab failed to sparkle at three, but now a year older and wiser, she can continue her resurgence with victory in the Avenue Public House Fillies’ Handicap at Yarmouth.

David Lanigan’s charge failed to hit the mark in four starts last year but she is making up for lost time now, notching victories at Wolverhampton and Lingfield.

She shrugged off a 6lb penalty on the latter occasion and still triumphed without really having to hit top gear so her new 8lb higher mark should not be viewed as a negative.

Clearly progressive, Nahab can continue her winning run.

Agiaal can break a frustrating run of placed efforts as he makes the switch to handicap company at Haydock.

The three-year-old failed to make it to the track as a juvenile but has filled third place on each of his three maiden starts this term.

He caught the eye on his debut at Ripon but upped to 11 furlongs on the all-weather next time, he appeared to be a non-stayer as he back-pedalled rapidly as an odds-on favourite.

Dropped back to a mile at Goodwood at the start of the month, Agiaal hit the bar again as good to firm ground just did not seem to play to his strengths.

There is a little more ease in the surface on Merseyside which can only help Agiaal and John Gosden may finally have found a winning opportunity in the Betfred The Bonus King Handicap.

Collect Art has started the campaign in fine heart and he can put up another bold show at Bath.

Andrew Haynes kept this gelding busy throughout the winter and he already has three victories to his name in 2011.

His rapid progress has seen Collect Art shoot up the ratings and he now sits on a career- high mark of 74 but he is evidently at the top of his game and should not be ruled out of the Evening Post Handicap.

Dar Es Salaam appears to be on his way back to his best.

Although he has not hit the target for some time now with his last Flat victory coming in 2008 but he is now back on that kind of winnable mark.
