Western Approaches ran a highly promising race on her recent hurdling debut at Cheltenham and has been found an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at Towcester.

Nicky Henderson's four-year-old was victorious on her bumper debut and followed that up with two solid placed efforts.

The form of her recent Cheltenham comeback could hardly be working out better, with the winner, Court In Session, following up and the runner-up, Judiciary, also recording a subsequent success.

In short, a reproduction of that effort will probably suffice for Western Approaches in the Yusen Logistics Mares' ‘‘National Hunt'' Maiden Hurdle and she looks banker material .

Momkinzain is given a second chance to get it right over obstacles in the Edinburgh Evening News Novices' Hurdle at Musselburgh.

The four-year-old was a decent enough sort on the level for Mick Channon, earning a rating pushing 80 and registering victories at Lingfield and Salisbury.

He was strongly fancied to make a winning start to his new career at Hexham but his jumping was less than assured and he had to make do with a distant second.

He ought to have learnt plenty from that experience and this drop back in trip on a sounder surface might just help him get his act together.

Kinloch Castle has shown up well on his first couple of starts and has been found the ideal opportunity to get off the mark at Southwell.

Trainer Mark Johnston and jockey Silvestre de Sousa were out of luck with Fox Hunt in Tuesday's Melbourne Cup and the Brazilian rider now has his work cut out to reel in reigning champion Paul Hanagan in the race for the title.

That said, a lot can happen in the next few days and De Sousa's book of rides in Nottinghamshire is certainly strong, headed by Kinloch Castle in the Visit attheraces.com/breederscup Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

There was more than a little promise on his debut in a soft ground maiden at Catterick, where he was beaten just a head by Mick Channon's southern raider Serene Oasis.

Johnston's charge then headed to the all-weather at Lingfield where he once again ran with credit in third, just failing to find that extra gear when required.

Kinloch Castle looks the sort to progress with racing and should take plenty of stopping as he bids to make it third time lucky.

De Sousa might also find the target on Coastal Passage, who is also bidding for his first victory in the Top Tips At thebettingman.net Maiden Stakes.

The three-year-old suggested there were races in him when second in a selling event over course and distance on his introduction and took a step forward when filling the runner-up spot in a maiden at Wolverhampton last time.

Trainer John Balding has found his charge a very ordinary contest in which to break his duck and it will be disappointing if he can not take the opportunity.

At Wolverhampton, Hanagan could score on Red Lover in the 32Red Maiden.
