SUZZANNE France, whose riding career was ended by a bad fall at Redcar in 2007, will have happier thoughts of the seaside track if AD VITAM can finally gain the victory he deserves at today's eight-race fixture.

The seven-year-old gelding, one of only a handful of horses trained by France at her Norton yard, has been running well in defeat since the end of June. Having finished in the frame at Newcastle and Doncaster, he was beaten only a length by Mon Brav at York. Since then he has finished close up in two starts back at Newcastle, most recently when beaten only two lengths by Edgar Balthazar over six furlongs.

Ad Vitam tackles the same distance in the second division of this afternoon's Market Cross Jewellers Handicap and, with Tom Eaves in the saddle, is fancied to prevail off bottom weight.

EDGAR BALTHAZAR, his conqueror last time out, runs in the first leg of this race and may well highlight Ad Vitam's chances if he can score again under a 6lb penalty. Phillip Makin has the mount on Keith Dalgleish's three-year-old.

LA ASOMADA may be the solution to the Watch Racing UK On 3 Devices Maiden Stakes.

David Barron's youngster took a step forward at Musselburgh last time out when finishing runner-up to Searanger with the reminder of the runners spread out behind. With Joe Fanning again on board, she is fancied to go one better this time.

HOPE COVE should not be overlooked in the opening 100% RacingUK Profits Returned To Racing Nursery Handicap.

Trained at Newmarket by Ed Walker, the juvenile has shown a fair level of ability across his four starts and chased home the speedy Rantan on this course on his penultimate outing over six furlongs.

He has since finished unplaced, but not disgraced, over today's trip of seven furlongs at Sandown. He is not without a chance here and is awarded the nap vote.

William Haggas, who stole the show at last month's Ebor Festival at York, sends AUSPICION to Redcar for the £10,000 Pinnacle Racing Syndicates Shares Available Now Handicap Qualifier.

Graham Lee's mount finished nearer last than first in the Brittannia Handicap last time out but that was an ultra-competitive Class 2 race at Royal Ascot.

This Class 4 affair is much less challenging and Auspicion, a Ripon winner in the spring who subsequently ran well to finish only two lengths behind the useful Third Time Lucky at Musselburgh, should be involved in the business end of proceedings.

SKI BLAST, a winner at Newcastle recently, has every chance of following up under Shelley Birkett in the Follow Redcarracing On Twitter And Facebook Apprentice Handicap on behalf of trainer Ivan Furtado, who has made a good start to his career since taking out a licence in early summer.

At Leicester, ENGLISH SUMMER turns out quickly after his success last week at Epsom in the Gentleman Amateur Riders' Derby, which he won without being asked a serious question under Patrick Mullins.

Richard Fahey's gelding has more on his plate under a 5lb penalty with Jack Garritty in the saddle in the Mr Freebet.Co.UKOn Your Mobile Handicap, but he is clearly a horse in excellent form.

The promising MUNTAZAH (2.00) and BO BRIDGET (5.05) are two others to note at the Midlands venue
