KALANE perhaps holds the key to the Sheffield Greyhound Stadium Mares' Chase as today's nap selection at Doncaster.

Trained in Newmarket by Amy Murphy, having previously been in the care of Charlie Longsdon, the seven-year-old mare is already a Listed winner over hurdles.

But she is also going along nicely over fences and did more than enough at this track on December 10 to warrant support at the same grade.

Kalane was an encouraging fourth on her comeback at Market Rasen but the manner in which she made every yard of the running in a two-mile-three-furlong handicap chase on Town Moor a few weeks ago was mildly uplifting.

Murphy's inmate dotted up by a carefree 17 lengths and, though this is tougher, she will surely take some hauling back under similarly bold tactics with Jack Quinlan at the helm.

CLUBLAND can banish memories of a chastening experience at Southwell on his most recent outing when he returns to Nottinghamshire for the Betway Sprint Handicap.

Despite having been the subject of plenty of market support in the build-up to a six-furlong handicap on December 13, little went right for the seven-year-old son of Red Clubs.

Clubland was slowly away under Tom Marquand and never really recovered from that as he beat a few labouring horses into a moderate seventh of 11.

Yet before that, he had been running pretty well in three tries on the Newcastle Tapeta, so all hope is most certainly not lost.

Trainer Garry Moss will be more aware than anyone that his representative has won five times at Southwell, with two of those triumphs over this five-furlong trip.

Moreover, a year-long barren spell has left him handicapped on an all-weather mark of 67, which is a whopping 13lb lower than when he last won a race. Andrew Mullen takes the reins today.

It could be a profitable afternoon for Stockton-based Moss, who might also fancy Dusty Bin's chances in the 32Red Casino Nursery Handicap.

The two-year-old gelding has held his form well since winning a Redcar nursery in October and was only denied by a short head at Newcastle on his first start for Moss on December 16.

Dusty Bin stayed on stoutly that day, so the step up to a mile should suit him nicely if that good show is taken into account.

Jockey Kieran O'Neill's partner must shoulder top weight but this is, frankly, a poor race and one that could be there for the taking.

CARALINE appeals as a likely sort in the Monteith Memorial Handicap Chase at Kelso.

The five-year-old notched up four wins on the bounce last season, shooting up from 80 to 121 over fences, although that final mark proved a bit beyond her at Newcastle back in March.

Dropped 1lb to 120 for the start of the current campaign, she posted a fair fourth on her return but that defeat has seen her eased another 1lb in the ratings, which is a definite plus.

Caraline should strip much fitter for her return and can start to make her mark once again here with Joe Wright on board.
