Loughlorien, yet to get his head in front this season, can finally break his duck at Catterick tomorrow.

The Richard Fahey-trained sprinter goes for the Ure Handicap over five furlongs and will have the assistance of Paul Hanagan, who can do no wrong at present.

A close-up seventh in a big field on ground faster than he prefers at Redcar on his latest outing, Loughlorien had previously stacked-up a sequence of in-the-frame efforts, not least when finishing fourth to Blue Maeve from a disadvantaged wide draw over this course and distance.

It can only be a matter of time before Loughlorien strikes winning form and there is every chance opportunity can come knocking for him here. He is awarded the nap vote.

Malton-based Fahey and Hanagan, who had a double at the last Catterick meeting earlier in the month, have good prospects of doing at least as well tomorrow.

Their opening representative, Tagula Sunrise, who has some solid form to her credit, will surely take plenty of catching in the Swale Median Auction Maiden Stakes.

This speedy two-year-old failed to last home over six furlongs at Newcastle last time, but will be well suited by returning to the minimum trip tomorrow.

Kamenka also provides Fahey and Hanagan with a winning chance.

The three-year-old has run well in each of her three races this season, including a handicap at Thirsk last time. She has strong claims in the Derwent Maiden Stakes.

The consistent Dumnoni, trained by Julian Poulton, is fancied to make a bold bid in the featured £12,000 totetrifecta Handicap.

Tony Culhane has been booked for the mount on the three-year-old, who is nothing if not consistent.

Albashoosh is not the easiest of horses to win with, but David Nicholls' charge should not be dismissed from calculations in the Nidd Classified Stakes.

Noel Wilson, who trains at Warthill near York, sends Stallone all the way to Brighton and is hopeful of a good run in the Montpelier Re Handicap.

Wilson's horses have been in grand form this summer and Stallone, who has added to the scoresheet, has every chance of making another contribution tomorrow, especially as he is teamed-up with Tony Hamilton, who knows him so well.

Wunderbra, who qualifies as one of the best-named horses in the country, being a daughter of Supportive, is in cracking form at present.

The Michael Bell-trained filly clocked-up her third win from her last four starts at Southwell last weekend, and she can oblige again in the Manmatters Classified Stakes. Hayley Turner, excellent value for her 5lb allowance, again takes the mount.

The promising Maneki Neko (2-10) and course-and-distance winner Jazzy Millennium (4-40) are two others to note.
