Kevin Darley, who enjoyed a wonderful association with the long-since retired Chaplins Club, can at Pontefract tomorrow win the annual race named in honour of the Peter Savill-owned sprinter.

The Sheriff Hutton jockey teams-up with Tomthevic, who looked a slightly unlucky loser at Doncaster last Saturday.

Trained by John Quinn, Tomthevic failed by just a neck to hold the strong late run of French Bramble after not getting the clearest of runs through the race.

The in-form Port Moresby will be hard to beat in the Bollinger Champagne Series Amateur Handicap.

Neville Callaghan's three-year-old has won his last two races in the style of a progressive performer. A 5lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him in his hat-trick bid.

Opportunity might come knocking for Lake Kinneret in the Matty Brown Memorial Maiden Stakes.

Sir Michael Stoute's filly has shown a fair degree of promise in her three starts and looks capable on landing this run-of-the-mill event.

Apprentice George Baker, seen to good effect on Adobe at Thirsk last Saturday, can figure among the winners again at Pontefract, courtesy of Makarim in the Rogerthorpe Manor Hotel Handicap.

Mark Bosley's consistent campaigner came with a storming late run under Baker to win at Kempton recently and similar waiting tactics are likely to be employed again here. A follow-up looks on the cards.

Stylish Clare makes plenty of appeal in the August Classified Stakes over six furlongs.

Pip Payne's filly created a very favourable impression when winning a handicap at Windsor recently. With Jamie Spencer again booked for the ride, she is napped to oblige again.

At Newcastle, Lion's Domane can continue Ian Semple's fine run of success in the Racing Channel Handicap.

Twice a winner before running on this course recently, Lion's Domane was far from disgraced in finishing fourth to Sloane in a hotly-contested handicap.

With smart apprentice Paul Mulrennan on board, the front-running gelding can show his rivals a clean pair of heels.
