Jockey JP McNamara, who earned himself a nomination for 'best ride of the season' when winning on Colonel Frank at Fontwell yesterday, can partner another winner at Chepstow tomorrow.

McNamara teams-up with my Nap selection Pardon What in the Letheby & Christopher Novices' Handicap Chase.

No matter what the result is, McNamara will be hoping for a less eventful ride than he had on Colonel Frank.

The breaking of a stirrup leather, with a full circuit of the race still to travel, was the task faced by McNamara, who, undaunted, kicked his other foot free and gave Colonel Frank all the assistance that was needed. In a thrilling finish, he deservedly won by a short-head.

Pardon What will, hopefully, receive a more orthodox ride tomorrow and Brendan Powell's seven-year-old has good prospects of following-up his rccent victory under McNamara at Bangor.

Burundi can shine in the Levy Board Handicap Hurdle.

Tony Carroll's gelding has only three rivals and looks the one to be on following his latest success, at Wetherby. Timmy Murphy takes the mount.

Reach The Clouds, long overdue a win, could get his just desserts in the Letheby & Chrisopher Handicap Chase over two miles.

Paul Flynn's mount has filled the frame in his last four starts and has found only one rival too strong in two of those races.

At Ludlow, Double Bogey Blues gets my vote in the Wistanstow Novices' Chase.

The mount of Paul Hourigan, a former top conditional rider in Ireland and now trying his fortunes in Britain, Double Bogey Blues found the soft ground all against him at Ayr last time. Tomorrow's much faster surface should see him in a different light.

The Clun Claiming Hurdle looks a good opportunity for Iorana to regain the winning thread.

The seven-year-old, trained by Martin Pipe, has run respectably in defeat since scoring earlier in the season and this previous course and distance winner has the class to prevail in this modest company.

Sheriff Hutton trainer Mick Easterby vowed to do all he can to help Gino Carenza win the amateur riders' championship after seeing him bring Gastornis with a perfectly-timed run to win the 'Irish Day' Maiden Hurdle at Wetherby yesterday.

Carenza is currently second to Christian Williams in the title race with 17 winners.
