CAN Joanna Mason and TAPIS LIBRE do it again? That's the burning question as the in-form combination head to Catterick this evening aiming to complete a hat-trick.

Amateur rider Mason broke her back in a point-to-point fall in April but remarkably was back in action last month. Tapis Libre has been a wonderful ally to her since.

Mason won on the gelding at Musselburgh on successive weekends and now bids to add another victory under top weight.

Trained by Mick Easterby, who is Mason's grandfather, Tapis Libre lines up in the Happy 12th Birthday Georgia Fenwick-Clennell Amateur Riders' Handicap. The mile-and-a-half trip will hold no terrors for him and, in his current form, he is napped to do Mason yet another good turn.

ANUSHKA NOO NOO is not to be underestimated in the Oops A Daisy Florists Nursery Handicap.

Norton trainer Ollie Pears showed no surprise when his juvenile opened her account at Ripon nearly six weeks ago. She is now into handicap company and although she hardly looks 'thrown-in' at the weights, Jake Butterfield's 3lb claim will come in handy. She should go well.

LORIMER'S LOT is the selection in the yorkshire-outdoors.co.uk Handicap over five furlongs

Trained at Sheriff Hutton by Mark Walford, the four-year-old has winning form over this course and distance. Beaten only a length by Sartori here ten days go, Lorimer's Lot can go one better under Duran Fentiman, despite a wider than ideal draw.

OUR THOMAS is backed to win the Black Bull Moulton Maiden Stakes.

It's more than three months since Tim Easterby's gelding finished third at Ripon on his debut. He showed heaps of promise that day and looked a horse to follow. Now that he's ready to go again after his absence, he is worth noting in the hands of David Allan.

Peter Niven has good prospects in the Catterick Sunday Market Every Sunday Handicap with SUGAR TOWN, who is fancied to make it third-time lucky this season.

The five-year-old was beaten only a length into third place by Blue Jacket last time out at Thirsk, having previously finished fifth on the same course. Although not favourably drawn for a front-runner, Sugar Town looks sure to be involved in the business end of proceedings.

At Newcastle this afternoon, Richard Fahey's ORMSKIRK can win the GFA Gastech Ltd/Irish Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes for the Malton trainer, who introduced a useful-looking youngster in Giddy at Beverley yesterday.

Ormskirk finished second to the highly-regarded Kentuckyconnection at Redcar on his debut last month. There was plenty to like about that performance and there is every chance Tony Hamilton's mount can now go one better.

Nigel Tinkler has his horses in good heart and the Langton trainer has every chance of winning the DSE Northern Handicap with CLIFF, the mount of Andrew Mullen.

The five-year-old finished second to Illustrious Prince at Beverley last month following a couple of placed efforts at Doncaster. He is overdue a winning turn.

COMPTON RIVER, fourth to Racing Angel at Redcar last month, had previously chased home Alaskan Wing. Bryan Smart's sprinter has an opportunity of finally losing his maiden tag in the H Malone & Sons Handicap.
