Batoutoftheblue, who provided new trainer Alan Swinbank with his first winner when scoring at Southwell recently, can follow up at Musselburgh tomorrow.

The eight-year-old goes for the Morton Fraser Handicap, a race he won 12 months ago when he was trained by Bill Haigh.

Swinbank, Haigh's landlord, spent two years assisting his tenant before taking over the licence last month.

Batoutoftheblue duly did the business for him on the sand at Southwell, which underlined the gelding's well-being.

Over two miles tomorrow and with Fergal Lynch again taking the mount, Batoutoftheblue can provide Swinbank with further cheer.

Villa Del Sol is napped to gain compensation for her costly defeat at Doncaster last week in the Weatherbys Travel Maiden Auction Stakes.

Alan Bailey's two-year-old was backed down to favourite in a selling race on Town Moor, but failed by a neck to get the better of In 'N' Out after missing the break and running green.

Sure to be wiser for that experience, Villa Del Sol can go one better here in the hands of top apprentice Jamie Mackay.

In the Capital Solutions Handicap over five furlongs, Garnock Valley is fancied to belie his veteran status.

Alan Berry's gelding, fit from the all-weather, goes well over this course and distance and is selected to be involved in the shake-up.

Alan Berry has his horses in good nick and the Lancashire trainer can win the Tulip Maiden Handicap with Circuit Life.

Gary Carter's mount showed consistent ability last season as a juvenile and looks the type to win a race or two this season.

Vodka, who has been running well on the sand, can use his proven fitness to good advantage to capture the Nish & Raymondo Quality Joiners Classified Stakes.

Brett Doyle, who was in such good form at Doncaster last weekend, takes the mount.

Jim Goldie seems to have his horses pretty forward and the Glasgow trainer looks capable of going close with Hutchies Lady in the opening Daffodil Selling Handicap.

Tomorrow's scheduled meeting at Leicester was abandoned this morning because of waterlogging, while the meeting at Exeter is under serious threat for the same reason and will undergo a precautionary check at 7.30am.
