Ramblees Holly, the pride and joy of his Ryedale owner Stuart Wood, can register his third Sedgefield success tomorrow.

The five-year-old goes for the Bliss Handicap Hurdle with top young rider Marcus Foley again in the saddle.

Lambourn-based Foley took the mount when Ramblees Holly, also trained and bred by Wood, gained his latest course success.

Presented with the lead when the tiring Rising Generation fell at the second-last flight, the gelding galloped home to win by nine lengths from Allstar Leader.

Over the same distance of almost two and three-quarter miles tomorrow, Ramblees Holly can provide Wood with further cause for celebration at his family-owned Rose & Crown pub at Nawton, near Helmsley.

Alpine Hideaway can be another local winner in the John Wade Skip Hire Selling Handicap Hurdle.

John Wainwright's gelding finished second in a similar race at Market Rasen last time out and would not need to improve much on that form to go one better here. Lee Vickers again has the mount.

Middleham trainer Patrick Haslam won the Juvenile Novices' Hurdle 12 months ago with Sundridge Fairy, and he has every chance of producing an encore with So Sure.

The three-year-old significantly runs here instead of winning stable-mate Kavi and is sure to have been well schooled by Haslam, who does so well with his small string of jumpers. Andrew Thornton takes the mount.

Second Paige can be another winner for Thornton in the Jewson Novices' Hurdle (Series Qualifier). Largely disappointing on the Flat, Second Paige, trained by Neil Graham at Newmarket, defied top-weight in a handicap hurdle at Cartmel last time. He looks capable of following-up.

Northern Ireland trainer Jim Lambe has had winners on this course at the last two meetings, and the long-distance raider could make it three-in-a-row with Tierkely in the Royal Bank Of Scotland Handicap Chase.

The eight-year-old ran out a comfortable winner of a novices' chase here last month, and although he faces tougher opposition tomorrow, he is at the right end of the handicap.

On the Flat at Lingfield, Gran Clicquot gets the vote in the Come Racing At Lingfield Handicap.

Gerry Enright's gelding got back on the winning trail at Bath last month when recording a fluent success in selling company. It would come as no surprise to see a follow-up in this modest event.

Tasneef has been running well enough of late to suggest a bold show will be forthcoming in the Lingfield Leisure Club Handicap, while Annijaz has strong claims in the Air Harrords Fillies' Handicap.

The six-year-old, a winner at Doncaster last month, has since suffered a couple of defeats, but this race looks well within her compass and with Milton Bradley's horses in such fine form, Annijaz is awarded the nap vote.
