CAPOLAVORO hit the mark on his most recent outing and can make it a quickfire double in today's sunbets.co.uk Handicap at Southwell.

Robert Cowell's charge was a winner at Wolverhampton on Saturday evening and connections are clearly eager to strike again while the iron is hot as he turns out just three days later.

He turned in an eye-catching performance in winning at Dunstall Park, travelling well throughout before easing through and quickening smartly to register a comfortable two-and-a-quarter-length verdict.

Capolavoro won off a perch of 69 there and will line up with a 6lb penalty here, with Cowell gambling that the handicapper will raise him a bit more than that in the fullness of time. Eoin Walsh rides today's nap selection.

SYNDICATE can make it fourth-time lucky in the 32Red.com British Stallion Studs EBF Maiden Stakes.

Second on her first two racecourse starts, Syndicate was well fancied to hit the mark as she dropped back to maiden company after tackling a conditions heat on her penultimate run.

Yet she disappointed in finishing only fourth on her first try at a mile, so a drop back to seven furlongs makes sense and can see her finally get off the mark under Richard Kingscote.

Roger Varian has his string in good shape and it looks very difficult to get away from HIGH COMMAND, ridden by Jack Mitchell, in the Download The Betway App Handicap.

The High Chaparral gelding won over a mile and a half at this track last month, being well in command at the finish. It would be most surprising is this first go at a mile and three-quarters did not bring about further improvement.

STILL WAITING should be followed in the opening 32Red Casino Nursery Handicap with Robert Havlin in the saddle.

The William Jarvis-trained youngster ran by far his best race to date when last seen at Kempton, where he was stepping up in trip and out of maidens, as well as trying the all-weather for the first time.

He ultimately had to give best to Mark Johnston's Dominating but there was no disgrace in that and if he can build on it he should be thereabouts once more.

CHAMPERS ON ICE finally makes his chasing debut in the Signs 2000 Novices' Chase at Uttoxeter.

Trained by David Pipe, he is all about stamina and it would be no surprise if connections are already dreaming of the four-miler in March or even the RSA at the Festival.

They know the big occasion and the track at Cheltenham certainly hold no fears as he ran a stormer in the Albert Bartlett last season.

Having gone hammer and tongs at the head of affairs with Barters Hill, he had finally seen him off only to be caught close to home and finish a close third behind Unowhatimeanharry.

The dry autumn has held him up slightly as there is no doubt he prefers to get his toe in – and that is probably why he starts off at Uttoxeter, which is generally softer than most tracks.

He only faces two rivals and, unless his jumping falls apart, should have too much class with Tom Scudamore on board.

RETURN FLIGHT can step up on a narrow defeat on his fencing bow with victory under Harry Skelton in the At UttoxeterTwit Novices' Limited Handicap Chase.

Winner of one of seven starts over hurdles, Return Flight previously finished second behind Grade Two-winning hurdler Ball D'Arc in his only point-to-point start, so he clearly has some ability.

That promise was certainly on display when he was basically just outstayed at Ffos Las last month, with slightly better ground here another positive for him.

MY KHALEESI dead-heated in a Listed bumper at Cheltenham on her most recent start and can make an instant mark over jumps with Wayne Hutchinson on board in the

Chancellor of the Formchecker Mares' Novices' Hurdle at Fontwell.

In what was a really decent heat, My Khaleesi had to settle for a share of the spoils after looking a likely winner when kicking for home early, only to slightly run out of gas up the Cheltenham hill.

The other winner, Irish Roe, has Festival targets on her agenda this term, which is probably a good indicator of the value of the form.

PETE THE FEAT is at his best dominating inferior rivals in small fields and he should get the chance to do that in the T I Engineering Structural Ltd Handicap Chase with Sam Twiston-Davies as pilot.

He may turn 13 in a few weeks but he has not competed off a mark this low for four years. This is a much weaker race than that which he reappeared in and, while he could do with a bit more cut in the ground, he simply looks the best horse in the race.
