Sheriff Hutton trainer Mick Easterby and his resident apprentice jockey Paul Mulrennan, who won the Zetland Gold Cup last season with Blue Spinnaker, can scale smaller peaks at Wolverhampton tomorrow.

Mount Hillaby represents them in division one of the Gameon & Bet Direct On ITV Handicap over a mile.

The five-year-old is napped to go one better, following a narrow defeat at the same course last week.

Mount Hillaby, sent off at 10-1, failed by only a short-head to get the better of Molinia after the pair had taken the measure of the favourite Pragmatic, who finished third, inside the final furlong.

Norton-based apprentice Tom Eaves has a good chance of winning aboard Cherished Number in the second division of the same race. Ian Semple's charge has won both his starts this season and Eaves' 3lb claim will aid his bid for a hat-trick.

Malton jockey Paul Hanagan teams-up with Rasseem in the Play Gameon And Win Cash On ITV Selling Stakes.

The three-year-old won at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and is trained at Middleham by Micky Hammond, whose Manbow won at Wetherby yesterday.

Norton trainer Andy Turnell has a good chance with Blue Bajan in the 24:7 Red Button Gaming On ITV Handicap. The three-year-old, returning from a 90-day break, won over the course-and-distance on his last race.
